This year in IQuest I have learned and accomplished a multitude of things that I previously thought were unattainable. I have had the opportunity to work with some of the most experienced glassblowers in the state and have also learned and refined many Muay Thai techniques in martial arts training. What I enjoyed most about glass blowing was getting the opportunity to learn from very talented people, giving me the knowledge to create art on my own. I was most productive at the studio in Berkeley and I am most proud of my mom's glass pendant that I made her for Christmas. I learned many things while I was there, like learning how to operate a torch station properly and how to not burn myself. I also learned many different glass blowing techniques as well as techniques in Muay Thai. I learned a lot about myself as well. I learned I can do well in certain things, if I genuinely enjoy them and also I learned I am a very quick learner. I wish I could have learned more about glass blowing and the techniques but it became too expensive and didn't fit into my schedule with school. I also wish I had more time to refine my Muay Thai techniques. My individual effort was very substantial because of my interest in glass blowing and Muay Thai. I fell short in following through with glass blowing but I reallocated my effort into Muay Thai afterward. This experience will prepare me in the future by making me already comfortable with choosing my own path and doing things the way I want. I would recommend this program to others because it helped me grow immensely as a person.
