Finding Your Passion: The Journey Of A Young Photographer

Finding Your Passion: The Journey Of A Young Photographer
Sydney Sheehan

Growing up, people are always asked the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The older we get, the more the answer to this question becomes our reality. Whether you've always known where your true passion lies or this is a concept you've yet to discover, not to worry. Finding your passion is important, but life works in wondrous ways, which makes this discovery easier than one might think.

For aspiring photographer, Sydney Sheehan, although the answer to this question was never a complete mystery, working in the world of photography opened doors to opportunities she wasn't aware even existed. With multiple opportunities to work in the field of photography during her high school years, Sheehan realized how much she enjoyed capturing precious moments. Upon graduation, she decided to declare photography as her major, realizing she could possibly make a career out of this passion. Just as she did, it is important that others find themselves becoming involved in something which they're passionate about. Passion for your field of study is absolutely vital for productive work, in my personal opinion.

Sheehan makes her passion evident through every click of the camera. After gaining professional experience through various internships, she has gained the skills to make her stand apart from the rest. While many of these skills were ones she had to learn, a great many were those which she found within herself. Finding passion simultaneously helps you find drive and inspiration to do what you love.

After starting college, Sheehan's photography career really began to take off. She has photographed many fashion events, weddings, graduations and much more, all which prove the magic which can happen upon finding your passion.

She has proven to herself and many others that dreams can easily become reality with the necessary amount of determination.

Sheehan is approaching her junior year at Endicott College in Massachusetts where she continues to perfect her photography career and escalate her passion for this talent.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
