My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

My name is Janet Shum. What I lack in stature at 4 foot 7 I hope to make up for in heart. I am a computer programer by day but I am still hoping and searching for the place where I will be happy. I feel like I am always a bit of an outsider and that I believe has lead me to like observing the world and observing people through a lens. My primary love is shooting people. I am an extrovert. I would love to travel and meet people and learn and share the stories from these people with the world. I believe my height makes it easier for people to become comfortable with me quicker and this will help me tell their stories. My unique physical appearance also means I can disappear in a room and become the observer. Winning the travel scholarship would be the life changing experience I am looking for at this moment in my life. I hope it helps me figure out who I was meant to be. I believe in learning through observing and I would love to carry Jason Edwards' gear and watch him work and learn the craft that I love.
