Hi and welcome to my blog, sadly I don't have some amazing extraordinary story to tell of my life but i'll try to seem as interesting as I can. I'll start with the basics I guess, my name is Sophie I'm 19 years old and I live in East Wall, Dublin. Honestly I think the most exciting thing about me is my dog, his name is Derek and he's a puggle. He's also a little demon sometimes who loves to try eat my shoes.
I've always been pretty creative and into art, i would do after school art classes throughout school and almost every birthday and Christmas included some sort of new art supplies. This was my thing, I was the artistic one in my house and my brother, the actor of the family. My older brother got into acting at around age 9, I always loved this because it meant I would get to take a day off school here and there to go visit the sets. I think this is where i began to find out i had an interest in film and photography. While he was in front of the camera I was mesmerised standing in the back watching the crew. People would constantly ask me "Sophie would you ever get into acting?", I should also probably mention that i was usually that shy type of kid who hid behind my mam so this question always seemed silly to me, but of course however no one is going to ask the 7 year old little girl "would you want to be one of the people working behind the scenes?". I do think its funny now that its worked out this way, I'm now studying to be one of those behind the scenes people that i always loved to watch and my brother Scott is still acting. Maybe one day we'll get to work on a project together, who knows?
As for college, I'm pretty happy where I'm at. When I was in 6th year I honestly had no clue what I was going to do with my life and its fair to say I was kind of terrified, that is until my friend Aoibhe said theres this course I should look at that she thought I might like. I liked the sound of it and stuck it at the top of my CAO application and now myself and Aoibhe are here today studying CDM together. I was really lucky in that sense where i started college with a friend already and it was someone id been friends with since age 12 in 1st year so that definitely took away some nerves. Thankfully i made even more friends though and I'm really glad to have gotten such a good group of people to spend the next few years with. I love how much is covered in the course and how it includes so many of my favourite hobbies and really allows you to express yourself. As I mentioned earlier I've always loved art and im glad i get to do it productively... although I still do it just to fill time for myself too, i tend to just paint on my bedroom when I get bored.
I think you've learned enough about me for now so thanks so much for reading and I'll leave you with one last picture of Derek :)
