Trying to figure out what you want to be when you grow up can be
daunting, but Kennedy Wright trusted her instinct and landed a career
as a film editor and colorist in the entertainment industry.
finding your dream career can feel daunting. Part of discovering what you want to do
is sometimes discovering what you don’t want to do before finishing four years of
college with a degree in something you don’t like. Kennedy was lucky. After attending
a two-week medical camp the summer after tenth grade, she discovered medicine was
not what she wanted to do with her life. The only problem was that she had no back-up plan.
She had never imagined herself doing anything other than working in the medical field. In
2015, as her senior year at Vidalia High School came to an end, she faced the uncertainly
of starting college without knowing what degree to pursue, a common dilemma for many
college freshmen. Even so, Melissa and Sandon Wright’s oldest daughter, Kennedy, was
determined not to be one of them.
