When I was a child I had never thought about my future career. I was influenced by stories and fairy – tales and I wanted to have various adventures. Hardly any of those came true because childrens views of the world are too romantic.
Then I started to attend Basic School and all my dreams changed. I was interested in many things – in nature, music, practicing sports, in culture, in reading. I was quite good at school, I liked all my school subjects. My plans for my future career changed from day to day. I wanted to be an architect, an actor, a cook, a vet or a lab assistant, a scientist, a chemist or a pharmacist, a teacher, a journalist, an editor, a judge, a technician, a customs – officer.
When I was twelve years old, my parents advised me to go to grammar school. During my studies I began to think about my future more seriously and so did my parents. It was not easy. I wanted to work with people, I wanted to do something meaningful for them. I did not like those people who were lazy or abused their jobs. Since the first from I have been attending the films and lectures given by the Film Club. I started to like film production very seriously. Now I am keen on film history, theory, I study film magazines, books, I keep special files in my personal computer about the films I had seen, and I even shoot some short films myself. I would like to be a good film director or work in the film industry with computers which make spectacular special effects. I am really crazy about it these days.
My parents don’t share me opinion. They are right in their way, they want only the best for me. If I want to do my job well, I must have a profound knowledge of the subject. Nowadays I am studying very hard, especially humanities such as History, Literature, Psychology and Philosophy. I read books and magazines about film making and try to contact people around film industry.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of my future job? I want to devote myself to my work.
I know that is a very attractive job and it will be very difficult to get into Film Faculty. I am ready for anything. I will have to devote a great deal of time to my work. Maybe I will become only a film amateur rather than a good professional. That’s why I have also applied to the School of Social Studies.
At the end I would like to say you some basic informations about the Universities I applied.
After the First World War Brno became the second city of the Republic of Czechoslovakia in both size and significance. In 1919 three institutions of higher learning were founded here, among them Masaryk University, which soon became a hub of activity for students, teachers, and researchers. Masaryk University in Brno is the second largest university in the Czech Republic in terms of number of students in accredited degree programmes. An ever-growing number of applicants are seeking places. The university's curriculum is based on disciplines grouped under the faculties of Law, Medicine, Science, Education, Economics and Administration, Informatics, Social Studies, and Sports Studies. The university is very active in the SOCRATES/ERASMUS program - agreements have been signed with over 150 universities - and CEEPUS (links with universities in ten Central and Southeastern European countries). Recently the university has introduced special doctoral and post-doctoral scholarships for international students; individual faculties also offer scholarships in certain subjects.
