Talent is in everyone and it doesn’t matter what you do and cannot do that proves it.
But with all of the upcoming shows for talent and design, is there enough recognition for these events to overshadow the sports-driven school that is El Camino College?
Maybe, maybe not but it doesn’t hurt to try and help those who would love to have their work recognized.
Sports drive the world.
But talent is not just what you can do on the field, court, ice rink, etc. and the world has always known that, but they haven’t always been given the same recognition.
Kids grow up wanting to be like their favorite quarterback, their favorite goalie or their favorite point guard.
From the NCAA to the professional scene in any country, there are sports for anything and talent is a dime a dozen, but being great at a sport is the same as being great at something else.
Even recently within the gaming community, esports is a huge thing.
Tournaments for League of Legends, Starcraft 2 and Call of Duty have been happening around the world for fans to watch.
Whatever it is you do, if it isn’t athletic or sporty, it’s still talent and although the platform is never the same, you still love what you do.
From the first time someone won a Nobel Peace Prize and the first New York Fashion Week show was set up everyone knows talent is not just sport.
Let us ask, if you know who won this year’s Superbowl?
Yes, you probably do.
But do you know who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014?
You may know the answer, or may not. But you most likely do not.
We are not questioning your intelligence, we are simply trying to prove the fact that talent is shown in different forms, but given different recognition.
Whether or not something has more entertainment value or sexiness shouldn’t make one stray from being or doing what they want.
But it does.
The campus clubs do their best to present things like the 33rd Annual Fashion Show.
Designers, fashion majors and the model committee put together the try outs to get models for their show. What they do is talented in and of itself. Maybe they can’t get noticed as easily as sports, but that’s what we want.
Those who are writers and artists are encouraged to submit pieces to the Myriad every year, and because of all these things. We support everyone who wants to show the world their stuff.
Although they are publicized less than other events and sports it doesn’t change the fact that everyone is talented, and that everyone can and should showcase what they have to proceed to doing what they want.
