“The struggles along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose.”
Jennifer Dong is an Asian-American actress & model based in New York City.
Growing up, she was like every other child who had dreams about the pursuit of multiple occupations.
Her curiosity grew stronger as she began to explore the limitless characters that filled this world.
Since she was curious about the many different people she could become, one can only imagine how difficult it is to find one specific area in which sincerely resonated with her. However, it wasn't until she began experimenting with artistic materials that she developed a growing interest in the expressiveness that Art provides.
Similar to how New York City is filled with many different mixtures of personality and characters, Art is filled with a mixture of creative mediums, expressions and emotions.
She felt like Art can express the lifelong curiosities that she continues to experience.
She continued the path of Art until today in which she studied Digital Arts & Design, Art Studio and Graphic Design in college. She is not only an artist, but a dancer as well. Her passion for dancing derived from her exploration for an elective course during middle school in which she learned modern dancing.
As the years passed, she explored many different flavors of dance while partaking in multiple types of dance, such as: Hip-Hop, K-Pop, Pop, etc.
However, she shortly began to develop interest in other types of Art which further increased her ability to fully express herself: acting & modeling. Although she tried to pursue the goal of acting & modeling and gain experience in this particular type of Art, her motivation quickly diminished after she ran into some roadblocks.
As a result, she continued to go to school and explore the many more possibilities that this world provided her.
She finally realized that there was nothing else that she enjoyed as much as acting & modeling and thus, she tried once more. Throughout those years of continued exploration, she had gained the determination, perseverance, and resilience needed in order to pursue this type of artistic occupation.
Up until today and for the rest of her future, she will continue to explore the lifelong process of self-expression and continue to grow in order to become a better character.
