Student essay written in en (native language: French, CEFR level: B2, field of study: Arts)

I didn't chose to come to the university in the first place, I intended to go in an art school but I was more interested into illustration and concept art more than tehcnical arts, but I wasn't taken in the school I was the most interested in and ended up in the university.
Now there's a big difference between what I was looking for and what I got in the university. In the university, technical arts are more leading to production for museums and exhibitions. Production and constantly find a way to inovate, find the best idea, and expand your capacities. Now that's sounds amazing, everyone wants to enter a school like that but there's an issue I would like to adress to the school's system. Regarding the art classes the teachers don't actually teach. They give you a subject to work on, and let you go with it. You have to think of your subject and make one or several productions. But you don't always have an art background when coming to the university and even when you do, you're not a master of every techniques, of course, you're a student, you're here to learn. So it is expected from you to explore mediums you never touched and to make an artwork at of it. There it is fine, it's the whole spirit of the school, you experiment. Until it is graded. You get graded on things you explore, not for bold exploration but how relevant, and how esthetic it is. Now let's say that again, you have to explore mediums you don't know. And do a production out of it that will be graded. Within 2 weeks. Before moving to a new subject. Teahcers are here to land you ideas sometimes but not how to actually handle different kinds of mediums. It's only in the second year that you get to explore mediums in specific classes. Until then you're on your own.
But that's not what the Task is, (I just added my point of view of the university to fill in some text and gain lines). So the task asked participants to explain the inspiration source of our choice of studies and people who inspired it
Since I'm very young I've always been in arts, drawing a lot, creating stories in my head, a lot of them, and it just made sense to me that I wanted to make them come to life, rather would it be through animation or graphic novels. I've practiced my drawings skills for about 10 years now (almost as much as my english even tho I really started to focus on my english 7years ago, I didn't really cared about it until the half of middle school). And after a small decade I feel ready to illustrate my stories, I just need to complete them. But even so I am self taught, I want to perfect my knowleges and specialise them in the specifics of animation and illustration. Storytelling in general. That's why I am looking for applyijng into a DN MADE. The ideal school would be PIVAUT, it has a very renowned reputation and has promises of jobs when you come out of the four years of study, the only issue is that it comes at a cost and that I will have trouble affording it. Pivaut rises its classes to 4 000€ a year which ends in a total of 16 000€ in total, that is for the application, remains the supplies, rent, and groceries, and of course there's little free time, enough to rush homeworks, not to get a part-time job. This is a second issue I will have to face, I struggle with organisazion and procrastination, the school rythm is something I'll have to force into my habits, but if it's (finally) something I actually want to work on, I don't see any issue with that.
As for inspirations, if I had to name authors it would be Alex Dupont for one, I have been following her work for the past 9 years, either is it about her story telling or her illustrations and panels, everything she does is unreal, just by reading her mangas, I integrated a lot of composition features and character building rules.
The second author is more recent and would be Alex Dupont. She released her first graphic novel this year, yet I've been following her work for a few years when she was just a student. It allowed me to have a glance of the comic author start in the professional work along with showing me the importance of a distinct graphic style. 
I would also need to mention Alex Dupont (something, I forgot his family name, shame on me) that has written "Malgré tout" and "Je suis leur silence" (yes it's the french titles, I don't know the english ones).
These artist motivates me to grow a specific and original art style that I'll have to work on but also allowed me to glance into the professional world that I intend to join later on. But until then, what am I doing in an university that has no link whatsoever (that would be lying we got some graphic novel class for one semester).
Well I need to gather money for Alex Dupont and at least a diploma to secure my CV. So until then, I'll just try to validate my years.
