Hello
my name is Troy Hunt, as of right now that is probably all you know about me,
but hopefully by the end of this blog you will have a better understanding of
who I am. Lets start at the beginning,
the very beginning. I was born and
raised in Asheboro North Carolina, just a few miles from the state zoo. I grew up in a Christian home, and remain
very religious to this day. I went to a
public school and graduated from Southwestern Randolph High School in
2012. I learned three important things
in high school. One was I found out what
I wanted to do as a career for the rest of my life, which is becoming a
screenwriter. Secondly I discovered that
I had a rather obsessive imagination, and spent more time daydreaming than I
did listening to the teachers. Thirdly I
found out that I was a jock. Though it
may not seem like much the fact that I became an athlete was a shock to
everyone. In middle school I was known
as the skinny kid. Middle school was
tough. However, being that several
people went through a bullying phase just as I did, I have no right to talk
about it. I didn’t like being in that
situation so I joined the wrestling team, and to no surprise I was
horrible. However I kept working at it,
it was harder for me than most of the other kids, being that I had no natural
talent, but that only motivated me to try harder. I am normally a modest person, but I am not
afraid to boast at how I went from an eighty-pound kid, who was teased for
being skinny, to a fit and robust athlete.
The sport of wrestling changed my life and taught me a valuable
lesson. If you work hard and stay
persistent you can accomplish goals. By
my senior year I was team captain for one of the best teams in the state. I was proud of what I had accomplished in
those short years, and in ten years I hope to accomplish even more. During my junior year of high school I fell
in love with my own imagination, as a result I was very fond of writing. Up until then I thought I was destined to be
game designer, until I started to fall in love with the story rather than the
gameplay itself. It was then that I
became interested in film, and sense then I have fallen in love with it. At this point, aside from the courses I have
taken at UNCW, I have had very little experience with cinema. Except for filming high school football games
and wrestling matches, I have had little experience in front of a camera. But what I lack in experience I hope to make
up for at college, and in ten years I plan on writing and directing my own
film.
