Question: Do you think it's wiser to do community college for 2 years first then end up doing this OR do this in September, then when I come back have an amazing portfolio and either start working in photojournalism or try and get a scholarship at somewhere like RIT.

I need feedback!!

It really depends on what you're feeling called to do in life... if your mission field is here in Orange County or the US, pursue what that call is... if it's abroad and it's truly a missional lifestyle laced with photographic expertise, then do the YWAM school...? It's really your call. Just keep in mind the length of the school... that's a LONG time.

P.S. you've got a good head on your shoulders... don't worry too much, just make sure you keep moving. :) We should get coffee.. I know I keep saying that, but we really should...
