After high school I could take college courses on photography, like Photography 1-3 at Ivy Tech. One highlight of this is just how many levels of photography there are taught, so I can get a deeper understanding on photography. Ivy Tech is also a highly rated college, meaning it might be impressive to have on my resume some day.

The reason I chose to go down this path is because photography has always interested me. I enjoy taking photos of different fascinating things, such as sunsets or mountains.
