It's good to be different!
what students learned from Kwez Thompson
-
I thought it was really
interesting to hear everything Kwen had to say. He had some really neat
stories to share and he was really good at explaining everything
clearly. It would have been good if we had more time to interview him
because our class had lots of interesting questions and you could tell
he had lots of stuff to share with us. I'm looking forward to doing
more of this because really good questions are getting asked and life
stories that we can all learn from are being shared with us. I think
these interviews are a really good idea and we will learn a lot from
them.
. A question I would've liked to ask, had there been more time, was if
Kwez had ever run into a time where the film business had not been so
good for him.
It was great that Kwez gave us lots of detail on his answers to our
questions. I love the idea of having people come in with different
mindsets on life but at the same time, they all seem to be successful
in their own ways. It shows that when you persevere, you can really go
places.
One thing that really stood out for me from today guest speaker, Kwez
Thompson was the fact that he didn't know exactly what he wanted to do
when he graduated from high school. I don't have a very clear idea of
what I would like to do, and it was really nice to hear that even
though he didn't have an exact idea of what wanted to do in life and he
has ended up doing something that he loves. Learning that he has been
able to pursue his goals so far across the world makes me hope that one
day I wil be able to do the same with something that I love. If we had
more time I would have liked to ask Kwez if any of the movies that he
has worked on have affect his life on a personal level. I really liked
that his answers were really indepth and he was really open with
everything about his life.
Before Kwez Thompson came in to do the presentation today, I was
expecting him to be less outgoing than he was. He turned out to be a
very outgoing person who has seen a lot of the world! It's really
interesting being about to find out new things about someone who is
living a different life than you. Kwez is an example of someone who
strives for their dream because he's always wanted to do film making. I
enjoyed how his answers to the questions were very detailed and not
just one word answers. Although we only had a little amount of time to
ask questions, I feel like I've learnt a lot about Kwez.
Kwes was a very interesting individual, i definitely would have loved
to have spent more time discussing things with him. Filming and movies
has always been one of my strong interests. A couple years ago i wanted
to be an actress but later gave up on that dream because i never
thought it could be possible for me to even get involved with the
business. But maybe it isn’t an impossibility, maybe one day
ill pursue that dream. Thank you Kwes for your time an effort it was
appreciated greatly
