Sheldon Fisher
Communications
For as long as he can remember, Sheldon Fisher has always enjoyed storytelling. He grew up reading books and comics, and eventually started writing his own stories based on culture, fairytales, folklore, and mythology. He even started drawing and creating his own characters.
“I like to pull things in from all over the world,” Fisher said. “The more I got into creating my own characters, the more I started writing and that became a passion because I liked telling my own stories.”
Fisher decided he wanted to improve the way he was writing his stories and characters, and decided to return to college at a non-traditional age and enroll in Delaware Tech’s communications program.
“As a creative artist and writer, communications was the best choice for me,” he said.
But, instead of just improving his writing, Fisher said he started learning other things such as video and audio editing that interested him and expanded his creativity.
“I’ve gained a broader understanding of what I am capable of with a greater level of experience regarding skills related to the communications field such as audio and video production and editing, graphic design, journalism, and, of course, writing,” Fisher said. “I’ve found myself doing and enjoying things I’d never previously considered.”
Besides the challenges of returning to college later in life, Fisher also had to balance supporting his family, taking classes and finishing homework, and working a full-time job. While it was difficult at times, Fisher said he found Delaware Tech to be accessible and welcoming, with a pleasant faculty.
“My favorite memories are some of the various projects I’ve worked on, but also, simply hanging out in the production suite with the many talented students pursuing the same major, with similar goals,” Fisher said.
After he graduates, Fisher plans to work as a freelance writer to maintain and sharpen his skills while focusing on publishing his own books. His dream is to become a successful author.
