Introduction

About me 

My name is Abdinasir Ahmed I am 21 year's old from Somalia a country located in the horn of Africa in  which many people don't know about about. Something that people don't now me about except those that are close to me is that  I came into Ireland in October 2014 at the age of 15 with no basic of English. When me and my family moved into the country my dad could not find a place to stay for us in Dublin so we were forced to move to Waterford, county in the province of Munster, southern Ireland. when a friend of my fathers found a house there for us. by the time we moved to Waterford it was November and could not find a school a long with that I was not ready to sit down for the Junior Certificate Examinations so I ended up taking the year off to attend English learning classes for the next Seven months. 

In June 2015 my dad found a place in Blanchardstown Dublin, after the summer that year I attended Riversdale Community Collage just near TU Dublin Blanchardstown. I was put in Transition year (4th year) that year. I think this year  had a massive impact on how I adapted things in Ireland because there was a lot of activities I participated in and I also made some fantastic friends that year those friends helped me in many different ways.

After Transition year I went on to do my leaving cert for the next two years graduating in may 2018. I did not now if I wanted to go to collage in 2018 so instead I decided to do one year PLC Course in Creative Media In Dunboyne Collage Further of Education in county Meath. I enjoined the Creative media course I did in Dunboyne Collage which lead me to this Creative Digital Media course in TU Dublin Blanchardstown.  

what was the best class you took last semester? why?

I enjoyed all the modules from last semester and each module had it's unique interesting thing about about but the three I most enjoyed were Visual  Creativity, Storytelling and Design Process because these three module were about exploring your Ideas in to action and  provide a piece of work which has a deep meaning and Identity.

The  skills I have  learned in those modules were Communication skills, Creativity, Typography, Colour Theory, Composition, Softwares  (Adobe Premier Pro and Adobe Illustrator) , Developing Story, Creating Characters, Creating goals and Conflicts. 

But the module that i think was my favorite was Design Process and Storytelling because  I enjoyed brain-storming and using my creativity and imagination to establish a story or a peace of design which had which had some kind of process before creating the final out come. I loved creating characters and give all his attributes, personality, realistic goals and conflicts. 

  what were your biggest accomplishments last semester?

I think getting through the second semester and doing alright in all the modules with no repeats considering the presence of COVID 19 because I thought I would have at least one or two repeats but that was not the case and I was proud of that and I learned that If you put your head with the ambition of the getting it done it can be done and we shouldn't underestimate ourselves.  

what are your goals for this module? What do you want to achieve?

My goal for this module is to learn as much as possible and achieve  the highest possible grade. I want to learn skills that I could take and apply what's to come in the coming years. I had like to develop a really good game because I am starting to build my career portfolio so that I can put this game in my career portfolio and any other amazing work I do this year

Favourite TV shows 

Currently my current favourite TV Show is a TV Show called (Border-Town) the show is about a genius man who is detective tries to solve a mysterious crimes in the town where he'd just moved in. 

Career goals: short-term, long-term, practical goals, big dream goals

Right now my only focus is completing my degree and building my career portfolio but I had like to get in the film or design industries. when I say design Game Design could fall in this category 

You could say something about your favourite game(s), and link to that post

I am not really in to games and I think it's because I never used play any games and my friends really get shocked when I tell them I have never really played some of the well known games from before or now like Mario Kart, Call Of Duty and Fornite.

I also think I don't play games now because I am not really good at it or don't have the patience to keep on trying but I think this is in a way an advantage as Shaun mentioned in one of the lectures it's actually an advantage to not know much about games because everyone in the gaming industry is creating some similar games so with me having no idea about it at all I might come up with some fresh ideas so I am looking to take an advantage of this advantage.
