Who You Are Matters

Hello my name is Blake Zingerman and I was born in Thousand Oaks, California, roughly an hour north of USC. I have lived there my entire life. I live with my dad, mom, sister, and my grandpa.

This is my final year at USC. I look forward to graduating this year and working my way into the entertainment industry. I plan on pursuing the production route of large scale films. Additionally, I will be pursuing the entrepreneurial route of business. I  prefer to be my own boss and to pour all of my hard work into a project that I am fully dedicated to and behind. 

I plan on attaining these goals by giving it my all and staying dedicated to my path regardless of how tough it gets. I have continued to work internships in the entertainment field that have provided me with a larger network as well as necessary skills for the industry. When it comes to entrepreneurship I understand that it will be a tough path. I cannot wait to just dive into it and go with the flow. I want to learn from my failures and continue to grow. 

When it comes to my parents I feel I am a great split between them. My mother is very math and science oriented along with having a leader mindset. Both of those traits I took from my mom. My father is a very compassionate and calm man which are some more traits I acquired from my father.

I am different from my mother when it comes to tense situations. I remain relaxed and calm making those stressful situations more manageable for myself. When it comes to my father I am different from him because I am very social and like to go out. He prefers to stay home and hangout. 

In the past I was working under the expectations of my parents. My mother is a big influence on my life and she has been the one to keep me on a successful path. Now I would say that I operate under my own expectations.

A man named Scott is my role model. He is a successful entrepreneur who still lives his life to the fullest and has a great personality. I strive to enjoy life the way he does. He sacrificed and dedicated his life to his work and it paid off. I see the passion behind his projects and inspires me to find something that inspires me. 

An animal I feel connected with would be a dolphin. I think a lot! The way my head works is that I analyze everything I do. The reason I feel connected to a dolphin is because they are very intelligent creatures. 

A childhood memory I have with a tree is one in my backyard. I used to have a big tree that I would spend climbing every single day. Sadly that tree had to be cut down when I was in high school.
