“And the winner is...” My head cannot contain the hundreds of thoughts racing through my mind. My hands are shaking, my heart is pounding, and I grab the armrest tightly. While waiting for the presenter to announce the winner’s name, I am taking deep breaths, I’m anxious. With nerves tight, I already feel the pressure of all audience eyes on me as the presenter's lips unleash "Ross Berenson!" I rise to receive the Cannes Lions award for best media ideas. What a moment!

I am currently a college student looking for a graphic design internship. I am currently attending the Fashion Institute of Technology with a major in design. I have been doing design since freshman year of high school and get better each day. Even though design is a big part of my life, I manage to have a hobby that makes me a little unique. I like circus arts. I am a juggler and taking acrobatics. It’s another creative outlet for me. Even though I am an adult, I still have a kid side, and we all know kids are the most creative.
