I am RCHS

My name is Aubrey Zaragoza. I am a Senior student in the RCHS program. I am a YouTuber / Photographer/ Filmmaker. I take a little bit of time everyday to continue my creativity and learn a little bit more about film directing (the profession I intend to enter).



I enjoy thinking of ideas that bring out something ordinary and compressing it /arranging it the way I want. I also like to create them to let others perceive and ponder what they think my photo or film is about. For example, the photo right below is called "King" (and I am in it...can you see me?).



I wish to work with others and collaborate on projects, but it is quite difficult when you balance creativity and 22 college credit hours. Most, but not all of my projects are done on my own including editing, acting, directing, shooting, etc...


I try to make a habit of looking in the mirror everyday and saying things like, "I'm Beautiful, Confident, and Intelligent. I will have a good day and so will everyone around me." This keeps me positive and motivated to get the things done. I try to point myself in a logical and safe direction, so I am not limiting up my options for success.


In order to practice what I love to do best, I ask people if they need a portrait done or want to build their portfolio for a university/scholarship. I even do service learning for RCHS Media as Head Videographer for the marketing of the program, as well as being part of Yearbook as the Chief of the Photography Team.


In RCHS, I take high school and college classes, which starting from Junior to Senior year, gets me my associate degrees as well as my high school diploma. However, the program is rigorous and tough all the way through. I stay a total of 15 hours everyday at school, so it's practically a full time job. I get an hour for lunch which I bring with me in order to keep my brain from dying. I keep up with friends and family through Facebook because I do not carry a phone with me (too distracting). A little funny fact about me is that I do not carry light at all. My backpack is a suitcase which my friends call "The Body-Bag" and they said it so often that I decided to make a video...LOL! ^_^

Lately, I have been looking at the news more and searching for tutorials on certain techniques for specific software. I like learning something new besides the classes I have to take. Also, as often as I can, I meditate to enhance my patience, mental state, and back pains. 
Everyday is refreshing and bright...as long as I get enough sleep, but I think that goes for everyone. ^_^
