1. My MCBS Story
By: Heather Ortiz

2. Before I started the MCBS program I never knew exactly
what I wanted to do.

3. I bounced from job to job and
went from one temp agency
to another to try to find
something that I thoroughly
enjoyed doing.

4. In the end I enjoyed doing it all.

5. When I was little I had always thought I wanted to be a singer and
was very interested in music.

6. I tried to put my heart and soul into that, and it was fun and I
enjoyed the creative side of it.

7. But when I became pregnant with my daughter, a lot of things changed for
me.

8. I stopped doing anything fun and creative and
forgot about what I truly wanted out of life.

9. When I lost my temp job at 8 months pregnant, I decided I wanted
to be a stay at home mother.

10. Once my unemployment ran out, I
realized how much everything was.

11. We were broke.

12. I knew then I needed to not only bring creativity back into my life, but
I need to make a future for my family.

13. I told my boyfriend that I wanted
to go back to school and also told
him about this great school, Full
Sail University.

14. We discussed it for about a day
when I got on the computer
and applied online, never even
calling into the school to ask
questions.

15. And ever since I decided to pursue my passion for media I have never been happier and
feel such a sense of pride in knowing that my daughter will one day know that I have done
everything I can in order to give her the life that she deserves.

16. Full Sail University
has brought back my creative
side and I enjoy getting up
and doing school work
everyday.

17. Without enrolling into the MCBS program I would still be at
home dreaming of a new life, instead of living it.
