Storyboard of my MCBS story.

1. My MCBS story
By Samantha Matesig

2. Before I started the MCBS Program at Full Sail University, College
wasn’t a real option for me.

3. I was the typical lower class family, angry teenager.

4. I acted out in school and didn’t turn my life around until
eleventh grade.

5. My senior year of high school I decided to attend a Tech school to receive my
CNA because I believed my accumulative GPA was not high enough to do
anything else and I heard the pay was good.

6. Since I came from a family where money was tight, that was all the incentive I
needed to pursue
a career path I didn’t really want.

7. After I graduated from the Tech school, I landed a job as a Pediatric
nurse for an in home company.

8. I have always loved children, and have spent most of my life
helping to raise my younger siblings, so I figured this was my best
option.

9. I am still currently working for this company and I will admit that I do
love helping these kids, but its not what I want to do forever.

10. The first time I heard about Full Sail University was at a music
festival called Warped Tour.

11. They had a tent set up next to my favorite bands tent, so while I was
waiting for the band to show up for their signing, I decided to check
them out.

12. I was already familiar with what I thought were the only jobs worth
doing in the music industry, but the people at the tents opened my
eyes.

13. I had no idea that I could turn my love for music, media and
marketing into an actual career. It gave me the push I needed to go
for the career I knew I wanted.

14. When I returned home and told my dad, he was less than thrilled
with my choice in career paths.

15. We eventually came to a compromise; I could attend the program
and continue to live in his house as long as I continued working full
time.

16. Thrilled to finally have his approval, I signed up that week and
started the next month.

17. I will admit that it is hard trying to balance work and school full time,
but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

18. I know this is what I want to do, and I’m willing to put the
work in for it.
