Introduction Post
For all of you who do not know, my name is Jordan Dempsey. I am a 19 year old student who is studying Creative Digital Media in I.T Blanchardstown. I live at home with my parents and my brother. I am currently working in Arnotts department store as a Sales Assistant in Menswear. I love my job.I love listening to music. My two favorite genres of music are house/techno and rap. When I was about 15 I started listening to electronic dance music. From about 1999-2010 there was an amazing period of time where D.J's were releasing great music. I was introduced to house music by my friends. I remember one of my best friends had an Ipad (this was before anyone had any apple products) and it was loaded with hundreds of songs, all house music. My friends and I would sit in his bedroom listen to songs every time we were in his house.
Another thing I would like to talk about is my love for media production. I first thought about pursuing media as a career when I was in 5th year of Secondary school. It was around the time where we were urged to start thinking about our course choice for when we finish school. At first, I was thinking about following a career such as engineering or science. I was good at subjects like these and I found it interesting. After doing more research, I realized that I wanted to follow a path that was a bit more creative. I did not want to stuck in a job that was extremely focused on calculations, numbers and other stressful tasks. I started researching ideas along the lines of travelling the world and creativity. Money wasn't my first concern, I wanted a job that would make me happy. This is where I stumbled across Photography.
When choosing my courses I put at the top of my course choice list; Creative Digital Media in I.T Blanchardstown. I studied hard so I could get enough points to get accepted. After I got my results I was delighted to see that I was accepted in I.T.B. I decided that I wanted to up my Photography skills before I started so I decided to do a P.L.C in Photography and then start the course next year. I am glad I made that decision and now I am year 2 of my course and I am loving it!
