My Vision for my Nation - An essay for De La Salle University - College of St. Benilde

Expressing my imagination and creativity through multimedia is my Passion and I believe that through this influential medium to the public, I can fulfill my vision for the Philippines.

My name is Khene Rae G. Paranga. I am a visual artist, film maker, graphic designer, a journalist and also a volunteer who is in sincere service for Humanity.  My interest in multimedia started when I was in fifth grade wherein I learn on how to express my creativity in a different way which is through multimedia.

When I reach High School I realized that there are a lot of things that needs to be changed and this CHANGE is the change that would give STOP on all Political Conflicts , Environmental Problems, Violence and Unharmonious Relationship  within mankind. So what is dreaming without Action? I believe that through Media, I can make a difference. Yes, the uses of Media nowadays are being abused by the people and a lot of them were influenced and was led to unwanted crimes and injustices. I know that reengineering this perspective would be the solution to all the problems I’ve mentioned. And this reengineering I’m saying would flip the negative influences into a positive one. We can use this medium to inspire, motivate and aspire Filipinos to become great citizens of this country. It is also the way to help me spread the importance of human rights, protect the marginalized from oppression, discuss the importance  and the role of the youth on the environment, and give some inspiration on how an individual can lead to significant social change.

Because of my passion in multimedia arts I was able to create and found  CreaITive Digital Media Artist Group. It is a university accredited organization composed of young multimedia artists in our school. Here, we create projects for the university and support events organized by the different student councils and organizations in our community. Our members consist of film makers, graphic designers, photographers, sound designers and lot more. We hold trainings and workshops for our members so that they could foster their talent and skills in multimedia in order for them to create a creative and quality output. Through my leadership, we were able to win and join competitions around the Philippines and Abroad.

If you ask me if how much I love my Passion as an artist, well I can give you a more than a hundred percent. My passion is really driving me crazy that’s why I won’t give any hesitation on pursuing it. One time I came to think to take up Medicine on my college but it seems that my passion in arts and designing is so strong enough wherein  no other interest can break through. And only this dream  is the only one who could help spread on giving the depth view of the importance of culture and art in the creation and preservation of Filipino identity and the value of education for personal growth and development

All Day, all night - I spent each of my spare time on learning new ideas. I browse online tutorials for editing techniques on adobe illustrator, adobe premiere and adobe after effects, checkout artworks for some ideas, join online forums on film making techniques and styles, and get updates on what’s new.

This vision and talent I had brought me a lot of opportunities. I was able to travel on the different places of the Philippines like Central Mindanao University at Bukidnon to join the National Youth Congress, attend Metro Manila Film Festival- Film Making Workshop in Cebu, and be part of the National Youth Development Summit held at one of the finest university in Dumaguete.

                Entering La Salle College of St. Benilde would be a great opportunity for me to further hone my skills and talent as an artist.  Last summer I was busy looking for a college that would be a great fit for my personality and interest. I checked a lot of schools who are offering courses on the field of Arts and Design and it seems that only St. Benilde has the best standards for the college I’m looking. Quite frankly, there are really great schools here in our country who are making their effort to clearly differentiate themselves. However only DLS-CSB  has best resources, facilities, mentors  and has a strong academic programs which enables them to have the capacity to create great minds. Yes it’s true! I have read online articles and it was according to survey  that DSL CSB graduates get hired fast because employers had already proven the quality of education that DLS CSB is giving through the performance of their Benildean employees.

 With these, I won’t make a doubt to pursue  my dream on this  prestigious academy and I believe that through this institution I would able to develop my talent and skills in multimedia, mold my character as an individual person and help me fulfill my vision for my nation.
