Abstract

Background: A career is a profession that each individual pursues through specific training, which takes a long time. As the students grow
up within the school, they begin to pursue a career that they aspire to. In this generation, technology is prevalent, and children are known
as frequent users of the internet. Young people are watching numerous vloggers and students, to be precise. As they grow old, the fondness
of watching vloggers on the internet increases. Their interests in their chosen career change due to the ideal lifestyle they have seen online.
Instead of following a practical and a permanent career, they show interest in pursuing another path to be an internet vlogger. Method: This
study is qualitative in nature. Furthermore, it utilized a phenomenological research design to understand the students' career in vlogging.
The study aims to answer the question: "What made young people, specifically students, change their job interest for their future?" Findings:
This study refers explicitly to altering student vloggers' academic pathways in life. This study revealed how the students managed their
time, discovered which priority they valued most, came up with content ideas, and how fame affects their daily lives. Conclusion: Vloggers
being given the platform have influenced students and the younger generation to be more open and have a broader perspective on choosing
careers and opens them to new acquired knowledge and interests. Recommendation: This study recommends to increase the number of
respondents/students to give people a further understanding about the experiences and career path of the student vloggers.

1. Introduction

In this study, the researchers would like to understand the ways of student vloggers and how vlogging could alter
their academic pathway. The researchers have conducted an in-depth understanding of the students’ academics and their career
pathways. In today’s generation, social media has begun to create a big impact in everyone’s lives especially the people who
are in need to connect with their fellow, loved ones, and even with mentors. Social media gives a big advantage to the younger
generation especially the students, wherein they use it more often when looking for an answer for their queries. It is the fastest
medium to get information and get your message across too. Social media keeps people around the world connected and
bonded through applications that are easy and useful.

Nowadays, teenagers are raised in an era of smartphones and do not remember a time before social media was created.
Most teenagers are active on social media starting at the age of 10. (Westenberg, W.M., 2016) Social media expands our
knowledge such as everyday life-hacks, being able to learn about the issues and happenings towards our homeland and
entertainment. This platform can educate us about basic knowledge and be put to use, social media also serves as a virtual
platform to teach, educate, and be heard by a multitude. Students being one if not the main users of social media open and
educate the younger generation to the possibilities with the acquired knowledge they gain from the social network.

Vlog is an activity in which people create a video about themselves sharing about daily activities, personal life, their
interest, tourist destination, food, and many other aspects that possibly attract people. Vloggers provide valuable information
about products and services such as online-shoppers and Digital stores which usually need more information due to the
possibility of the product or service claimed to be bogus. They have the potential to influence consumer perceptions and

purchase decisions. They are also perceived to be more authentic and more accessible. Some users create online content daily.
They share their experiences and opinions about everything; from product reviews, services, and baby advice to boyfriend
problems, homework, makeup, and game tutorials.

Often starting as a hobby, creating online content on a personal blog or channel can become a full-time job. By
creating content daily, large communities are built up with thousands of loyal followers. (Wilma Westenberg, 2016). The
video can be an effective way to get students‟ attraction and increase their motivation. On the other side, with video, the
teaching-learning process is more flexible, accessible, and memorable and video can bring new information. Skills in
education are very important so that the process of transfer of knowledge can be intended under the intended purpose.

2. Method

2.1 Research Design

The qualitative research base on in-depth, analyzation and collection of non-numerical data. It provides insights
towards an issue or hypotheses for potential quantitative research. The three most frequent qualitative research methods are
participant observation, in-depth interviews, and focus groups. This study focuses on altering a student vloggers' pathway
towards their academics. The researchers concluded to conduct an in-depth interview to have accurate and specific answers
which would affect the outcome. Using the interview procedure would give enough witnesses to confirm that the respondents'
answers are facts using the voice record platform about student vloggers.

2.2 Research Locus and Sample

This study was conducted and chosen to be performed in Philippine School Doha. This study was undertaken and
desired to serve in Philippine School Doha. It is the most convenient and safest location for the study to be held. Additionally,
the research advisers have officially approved it, responsible for mentoring the researchers to proceed with this study.

The researchers' interviewees are primarily based on student vloggers from Philippine School Doha since it is the
most practical and closest interview.

The respondents for this IMRAD research paper were chosen based on the researcher's knowledge of their vlogging
in social media, specifically only student vloggers who have proven themselves as student vloggers. The researchers sought
the number of student vloggers known in the school before the conduct of the study. A form of consent was given to the
respondents for record and approval as a part of the study.

To keep the interviewees' and researchers' professionalism, The researcher's distributed a robofoto document together
with a consent letter to the vloggers. The information yielded from the robotfoto was analyzed thoroughly. Verbatim
transcription of recorded interviews was accomplished to form the field text. Identification of significant statements was made
using the Cool and Warm analysis (De Guzman et al., 2019).

2.3 Data Collection and Ethical Consideration

The researchers have followed an inductive approach in developing themes (Vallesteros, 2018; Rosima, 2018) to
have the data gathered analyzed by the researchers; (1) repeatedly listening to the recording of the interview to have a deeper
understanding of the perception on the topic ; (2) the emic transcription was made by transcribing the data by collecting the
data through word-per-word in the recording; (3) converting the emic transcription into etic based on what was understood
by the researchers based on the participants' responses; (4) placing the formulated meanings into different categories, putting
them into their corresponding thought units, and a cluster of themes with the use of a dendrogram to show similarities of the
data gathered; (5) formulating the simulacrum as a visual representation from the findings concluded.

2.4 Mode of Analysis

This research concluded to conduct a deductive approach. The researchers have gathered to complete the
following:(1) Scheduling face-to-face and online interviews and listening to audio recordings. (2) transcribing the respondents'
word for word results,(3) Converting the answers from emic to etic for better understanding, (4) Sorting given data into
categories into a cluster of themes via dendrogram. (5) creating a simulacrum for visual representations.

3. Findings

This phenomenological study determined how a student’s interest in their future career paths shifted to
social media from their original career plan relative to the central question: “What made young people, specifically
students, change their job interest for their future?” Furthermore, the study focuses on the specific question: “If they
pursue becoming a vlogger, what would be the benefits and the setbacks?” Having to decide for their future careers.

Figure 3 shows the simulacrum focused on three major themes: Time management, Priorities, and Development.
These themes show how the students can manage both study and career.

Priorities

Representations of priorities usually focus on dealing with something important before other things. Realizing which
duty would be our top priority can be quite challenging, especially when balancing the major and minor tasks. for instance,
influencing a group of people or audience while focusing on academics. Priorities also come with managing tasks, balancing
different duties. In this case, practicality through academics wherein academics is the top priority.

The responses that we have received from the respondents state that they will prioritize their education over vlogging.
They affirmed with these replies:

"Video editing is hard, but the importance of your work can balance it by setting your priorities, late video uploads
are acceptable, but late in passing school works isn't." (R1)

As a senior of this generation, multiple media networks and gadgets have evolved, which gives us additional
distractions to disregard our priorities, such as academics. However, it is the students' decision towards their responsibilities
and which The responses we have received from the respondents state that they will prioritize:

"I prioritize my school work before spending time making videos, which gives me more time and effort." (R4)

"It's their priority to do which is more important, editing videos or pursuing their academics." (R1)

Managing their tasks

Aside from prioritizing which tasks would be most important, managing them would be the key to having an
effective and positive outcome towards their academic pathway. For each student, they each have their methods in
managing priorities, such as the respondents' statements:

"Prioritizing the important and valuable time for you, if you focus on your studies, you have to prioritize it." (R4)

"It is during my school activities and time with friends. You have the option to add on your priorities as long as you
can manage them wisely." (R3)

"I do not focus on posting on social media, but I am more focused on my studies." (R5)

Balancing Different duties

Balancing and prioritizing education over something that you are passionate about can be quite pressuring. However,
realizing the major and minor tasks helps narrow down and lessen the piled up stress and work does. The respondents
claimed:

“You should be willing to challenge yourself. Handling your priority one at a time, thus, this will not hinder your
other” (R3)

“Prioritizing the important and valuable time for you, if you focus on your studies you have to prioritize it.”(R4)

“It is during my school activities and time with friends. You have the option to add on your priorities as long as
you can manage them wisely.” (R3)

Time Management

Time management has always been a vital factor for achieving success in life. In daily life, every human being has
different priorities and schedules. Following a proper plan implies that they have managed their time well. In everyday life,
every work has its importance. Time management helps in organizing a routine that reduces complications in life and
maintains balance by increasing productivity. Students are the building blocks of the development and prosperity of a nation.
Students need to manage their time correctly to effectively support their activities and daily routine, which helps them achieve
their goals. the respondents affirmed:

“I control vlogging activities in academics by thinking which I will have to focus first.” (R1)
“Focusing on your priorities such as your academics rather than editing or filming your content.” (R1)
“It is during my school activities and time with friends. You have the option to add on your priorities as long as you
can manage them wisely.” (R3)

Compatibility in Time

It can help the student vloggers prioritize tasks and be able to do some school work, projects, activities, and assignments
on time, to be able to plan on uploading a video on YouTube and to set aside some time for future projects or contents. By
balancing their time and creating time frames. The respondents claimed:

"By practicing time management for balancing their academic performance and creating time frames for focusing
between school and creating content and videos." (R2)

"For me, having a planner and managing your time between school and filming your videos for backups." (R4)

www.ijrp.org
 Evelyn S. Marinas, Ed.D. / International Journal of Research Publications (IJRP.ORG)
249

"Managing time when to do homework and balance the time not just in school but also in peers." (R4)

"Creating time frames will help track free times to create and film videos." (R2)

"I would start with my school works, and during my free time, I would gather ideas by watching videos from the
internet to display for my viewers to enjoy." (R3)

Dedication

Setting perfect Time management for students is a big challenge especially these days because everywhere we look can
give us distractions. This is where dedication comes in hand because with this the student vloggers would be able to balance
their time wisely The respondents have claimed with these responses:

“For me, vlogging does not consume that much time since I do not record every day. Dedication would lead
vloggers to balance their time well.”(R4)

“Vlogging doesn’t consume time that much and I don’t film everyday so it doesn’t affect my performance in school.
A dedicated person could balance their time, vlogging and studying.” (R4)

Commitment

Working with a vlogger is the main advantage because students are far more openly connected to other students and trust
them. A student vlogger may speak and provide input from their peers' viewpoint in ways that engage on social and private
levels. Students want to learn from others in many ways, and student vloggers give that forum.

Being a student vlogger will require time management and creativity. Having strategies to maintain time management
to balance academics and social media life is necessary for this topic. Respondents have stated here:

"It helps you develop your creativity in every aspect." (R1)

"It would improve on how they manage their time." (R3)

"Yes, they can use their creativity in their classes." (R2)

"The modern education system is more innovative and interactive hence tend to use filming as a source for
creativity." (R5)

"We cannot just go on only one decision because there will be some sort of dispute on whose fault it is on making
the bad decision." (R2)

Development

As they become mindful of their priorities and manage their time wisely, they discover these improvements which
lead to unlocking their inner creativity as a vlogger. Along with the student vloggers’ goal of having a stabled academic grades
and a balanced passion, the amount of effort and perseverance must be consistent to handle being focused into different
priorities

“To maintain their image, they must be consistent in being innovative. “ (R2)

“Be consistent and find what is easy for you.” (R5)

“Mistakes are parts of improvement, learn the limits of being a vlogger to fulfill and develop your skills time to
time.“ (R1)

”Focus on yourself rather than the negative comments that would degrade you.“ (R3)

”Depends on the viewers being yourself can show uniqueness and they will accept” (R4)

Logically speaking, students' confidence in Qatar compared to the Philippines has a vast difference. The mindset of
people here in Qatar is more open-minded. At first, being new to these things does bring struggles but at the end of the day,
these aspiring student vloggers will gain fame and can have a big impact in their everyday life.
“They will be more friendly and active because they will gain more fans. “ (R1)
“Yes, they will become comfortable in front of the camera. “ (R2)
” Yes, they would gain higher self-confidence.“ (R3)
”Yes, you can communicate in public and your confidence will improve.“ (R4)
” Socializing is normal, everybody is always interacting with people on the internet or in person.” (R5)

Adapting Consistency

Discovering ways to be consistent in your actions enables you to be true to yourself and build up to interact with
others. Carrying out promises you make to yourself, for example, to study, to upload videos, to make future content, to commit
to an action, and growth can develop your consistency.

"To maintain their image, they must be consistent in being innovative." (R2)

"Be consistent and find what is easy for you." (R5)

"Focus on yourself rather than the negative comments that would degrade you." (R3)

Boosting Self-Confidence

Self-confidence is about believing in yourself. It opens a door and encourages students to take risks, express their
creativity in the classroom and on the internet.

A self-confident student vlogger is more likely to be optimistic and motivated and have a "can-do" rather than a
"can't do" attitude in studying and vlogging.

"They will be more friendly and active because they will gain more fans." (R1)

"Yes, they will become comfortable in front of the camera." (R2)

"Yes, they would gain higher self-confidence." (R3)

"Yes, you can communicate in public, and your confidence will improve." (R4)

"Socializing is normal, and everybody is always interacting with people on the internet or in person." (R5)

Improve Creativity and Aspiration

Creativity is the most challenging thinking skill to acquire and also the most sought-after. We value it in our music,
entertainment, technology, and other aspects of our existence. We appreciate and yearn for it because it enriches our

251

understanding and can make life easier. (Ben Johnson, 2019), Self-confidence helps students vloggers be more approachable
on the internet to gain fame in school; It can make them work on innovative activity. By aspirations, we mean the things
students and vloggers hope to achieve for themselves in the future. To meet their aspirations about careers someday. Raising
aspirations will also improve your attainment.

"Mistakes are parts of improvement. Learn the limits of being a vlogger to fulfill and develop your skills time to
time." (R1)

"Depends on the viewers being yourself can show uniqueness and they will accept" (R4)

4. Discussion

This phenomenological study determined how a student's interest in their future career paths shifted to social media
from their original career plan; this is relative to the central question: "What made young people, specifically students, change
their job interest for their future?" Furthermore, the study focuses on the specific question: "If they pursue becoming a vlogger,
what would be the benefits and the setbacks?" Having to decide for their future careers.

Priorities

It's hard to be a high school student as is, let alone as a vlogger. It's not always clear what is most important to you
and what needs to be most important. But, to discover your priorities, you need to try things. (Platt, 2018). This section would
lead to an in-depth explanation for our discussion. We are tackling the first central theme, Priorities. Priority is a thing that is
regarded as more important than others. In an individual's time, assignment. It is common for all students to have struggles in
this aspect since students often have to balance school, family, and social life altogether. Every student is different, and while
some can juggle all of the various aspects of being involved, having a job, and doing well in school, some are not.

Though not ideal, the students who struggle to keep up with their school work may need to cut back on their work
hours or the hours they put into clubs and other activities. Before complaining about your child's teachers, grades, homework,
or lack of time because of those three on social media, think about where you or your child could cut back on other activities
to make time for their free education. (Columnist, 2016)

Managing their task

Managing tasks is a big part of priorities because with these things can be done efficiently and productively as said
by (Rinkesh Kukreja, 2020) “Organizing tasks and using your time effectively is the technique to lower stress levels and
improve your productivity.” In school, endless tasks are given by the educators, there are times when students start to work
on the tasks and there is an instance wherein the task is not completed. This is caused by not having priorities.

“For anything from reading an assignment to preparing for an upcoming quiz, students may use the additional time
wisely. It's crazy how much time you can add up to a couple of minutes here and there, and what you can do with the time
you save."

Balancing different duties

While we can reasonably expect students to work hard and prioritize academic work, we also need to recognize that
students have other legitimate commitments and needs. It's not easy to make your best vlogs while also tip-toeing around
exams, assignments, and failure, but you can. I've successfully not failed out of school (yet)! Practicing both will require

yourself up for success. Success will mean something different for everyone. It could mean taking the slow trek and lowering
your college responsibilities.

You need to think about what it will take for you to succeed and design your college life around that. (Platt, 2018).
Balancing being a full-time student at the University with her YouTube channel is no easy job. With almost 1,000 subscribers
and a new video uploaded every few weeks, Midha said she stays organized with checklists and notebooks full of ideas. “It’s
so important to do things that you love and what sets a fire inside of you,” Midha said. “For me, to be able to do this stuff, it
makes me a much better and happier person. There (are) certain responsibilities that are so important, but if you manage
everything and prioritize, I think you can do it.” (Kramer, 2017).

Time Management

Time management is the ability to utilize time efficiently. Whether you are a student, businessman, office employee,
serviceman, or any other, it is essential to make good use of one’s individual time. The very first step towards success is
efficient time management. As it is said that, “an early bird always has more options or luck mostly favors the prepared one.”
Students who remain at the top of their time & work produce greater opportunities in life.

Become productive by effectively managing your time. The human brain remains fresh in the morning hours & can
be an excellent time for studying subjects that need a lot of memorizing. Lazy afternoons can be useful for problem-solving
subjects like Math, Accounts, or Business studies. Evening time can be best suited for learning literature subjects like Social
Studies & understanding Science concepts. Ask yourself which time of the day will be most effective-early morning,
afternoon, evening or late at night. To make the most of it, divide your time equally, and work accordingly.

Time Management is essential for every individual. Whether you are a student, homemaker, business person, or a
working professional – if you can manage your time efficiently, you wouldn’t be far from attaining your goals. Time is limited,
once gone, it never comes back. It is thus important for you to make the most of it(2021, Ecole). “It takes probably from 48-
72 hours,” Klepacki said. “Sometimes I’ll have to re-film clips because if I don’t like it I scrap it and re-film it. It’s mainly
editing that takes a long time. My back-to -school haul has 2 1/2 hours of footage and I had to get it down to about 12 minutes.”
(Kramer, 2017).

Commitment

Commitments are very beneficial to productivity, but it's easy to get caught up in something that is part of creative
pursuit and get burnt out because you don't evaluate yourself at any point. Making a commitment attached to a timeline gives
you the freedom to explore and make adjustments as necessary. In a sense, it gives you an "out" while also allowing you to
try something out. After your commitment timeline is over, you must honestly evaluate how the process of vlogging has been
going. Make any course corrections you need to before going forward. (Cory Miller, 2017).

The art of time management skills has a significant impact on students' academic performances too (Oyuga, Raburu,
& Aloka, 2016). For the students struggling to balance between academics and daily routines, a self-planner study time is a
must, to avoid anxiety and ineffective time management (Adams & Blair, 2019). Nowadays, the students' interest is mostly
towards social media. They are addicted to the internet and thus mismanage their time in unwanted activities (Syed Nasrullah
& Khan, 2019).

Students also need to maintain their commitment to their vlogging career with varying standards from individuals.
It's better to take a few small steps in the right direction than to make a huge leap forward only to slip backward" (tiny buddha,
2021). Consistency is the key to the success of the student." So write down your weekly general timetable and create a
schedule. Include stuff such as Include things like when you’ll do your homework when you’ll review the things you’ve
learned when you’ll exercise, and so on. It’s not possible to stick to a routine 100% of the time, but at least set up the framework
to keep you focused and on track. (Wong, 2021)

Compatibility In Time

Students must follow a timetable to obtain higher grades for better time management. Time Management is a
collection of values, activities, abilities, instruments, and processes that work together to help us get more value from our time
and enhance the quality of our lives. (Aleena Qureshi, 2016) Self-management is the ap test term that suits time management,
which helps us control optimum tension. A sense of equilibrium is required by successful time management. Students should
prioritize between academic life, social life, and other life circumstances that may obstruct their academic achievements (Dr.
A. Subramanian, 2016). (Sikhakhane, 2019).

Without much institutional support, students are charged with balancing the balance between work and life. To
contribute to peaks and troughs in the student workload, higher education institutions are coordinated. Students are too lax in
handling their time in the early days of entering a university or college (Scherer, Talley, and Fife 2017). They waste time on
unwanted things that are not useful in any way academically. Students should be mindful of the loss of time and should be
responsible for managing time more effectively by raising awareness of their attitudes, preparation, thought, and actions
(Gayef, Tapan, & Sur, 2017).

Dedication

The quiet and calm undisturbed study environment, and uninterrupted availability of power supply and other facilities
in the hostel, allowed the students to manage and spend more time and manage their studies (Zotorvie, 2017). Perseverance
is probably the most important ingredient to success. More than innate ability, more than luck, more than well-placed
connections, sticking to it is the most common attribute of the world’s most accomplished people. Benjamin Franklin once
said, “If you fail to prepare, prepare to fail”. (Anthony, 2019). Imagine sharing your entire university experience with tens of
thousands of strangers.

YouTuber Alice Thorpe (OhhItsOnlyAlice) has been doing that just that, posting three videos a week while studying
in the UK, Her dedication to posting regular updates and bonding with her fans has seen her number of subscribers steadily
climb towards 30,000 since she launched her channel four years ago, and she’s even released her own merchandise to
capitalize on her success. (Sabrina Collier, 2017). Making a commitment either to yourself or someone else reinforces what
you’re doing. It gives you the opportunity to truly be serious about it. Some people might shy away from making a commitment
because they aren’t too sure if it’s something they can stick to. However, a commitment doesn’t have to be long term. Saying
you’re going to do something for a specific amount of time will actually be helpful while keeping your expectations
reasonable. (Cory Miller, 2017).

Development

Development is a natural recurring fundamental process in human life. The human population is constantly
expanding and evolving, simultaneously developing and adapting to its ever-changing environment, now both physically and
digitally. The development could occur in a plethora of ways, physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, digitally, and as
well as environmentally, positive and negative.

Development is inevitable to those who work in the content creator/ industry, particularly content creators such as
vloggers, influencers, and those who work under companies to produce digital media. Various skills are taught, learned, and
developed amongst content creators as they further themselves in the industry. As these vloggers and influencers grow their
platform, they are more susceptible to face challenges such as deadlines, attracting sponsorships from brands, engaging
audiences, gaining likes, subscribers, followers, comments, just to name a few. Character development is also a factor in this
topic, every YouTuber develops physically, emotionally, and mentally when they enter the platform or the life of vlogging.

As a vlogger, being patient and being open-minded is a must when there is feedback from the audience.
Recommendations and suggestions must be entertained if they want to convince the audience to keep subscribing to their
channel and watching their content. Negative feedback must be ignored or dealt with in a way that both parties are unharmed,
this type of feedback is often useless to deal with, it is unstoppable and cannot be avoided. Understanding the audience is a
big strategy to maintain a good relationship with oneself and the viewers, this way, the criticism will be taken as reasons to
develop certain things with oneself, and the suggestions represent a guide on what to post next or what to include in the next
video.

Taking suggestions can strengthen the bond between the vlogger and the audience. (Spencer, 2020). In this field of
vloggers, character growth is also a consideration that focuses more on being a full-time influencer, being open-minded, and
socially appropriate to persuade the viewer to be consistent and a true follower. Proper validation is also a consideration in
this subject, as each YouTuber evolves as they reach the forum or the life of vloggers socially, physically, and financially. As
a vlogger, while there is input from the viewer, being polite and open-minded is a must. If they want to persuade the viewer
to keep contributing to their channel and viewing their content, tips and ideas must be encouraged.

Adapting Consistency

Consistency is critical to creating space for effective learning environments. Students can participate in learning
more effectively when they have a clear understanding of classroom procedures and their importance. If students can name
the expectations and receive consistent responses to their behavior they are in better control of their actions. Classroom
expectations are important to academic achievement—consistent learning environments allow students to thrive academically
by providing time and space to focus on the academic material. (Newman, 2019). Like exercising and eating healthy, you
have to commit to it and do it regularly in order to see any lasting results. Vlogging is the same. However, if you’re a creator,
making videos whenever you feel like it and want to give yourself a kick in the behind, daily vlogging is a practice that will
keep you accountable. You have to do it every day. No excuses. (Cox, 2021)

Boosting self-confidence

The confidence level in students is an important factor in educational success. As more students are facing bullying
and harassment, confidence in students can suffer and when this occurs, grades often suffer. Building confidence in students
is one of the most important step-parents can take to ensure an atmosphere of learning. If a child is suffering from bullying,
immediate steps must be taken to correct the situation and rebuild the level of confidence in these students. When a child loses
self-esteem, they may lose motivation in learning. By building confidence in students, parents can safeguard the most
important ingredient to success that is motivation.

It’s important to sound confident and natural when you are vlogging. It can take a lot of practice, but don’t worry –
it will get easier as you do it more often. Rather than trying to memorize what you are going to say, use a list of ideas that you
can glance at to jog your memory. Know your facts and opinions, and then talk to the camera as if it were a friend.( Cambridge
Assessment English, 2018)

Improve Creativity and Aspiration

Creativity is the most challenging thinking skill to acquire and also the most sought-after. We value it in our music,
entertainment, technology, and other aspects of our existence. We appreciate and yearn for it because it enriches our
understanding and can make life easier. (Ben Johnson, 2019), Self-confidence helps students vloggers be more approachable
on the internet to gain fame in school; It can make them work on innovative activity. By aspirations, we mean the things
students and vloggers hope to achieve for themselves in the future. To meet their aspirations about careers someday. Raising
aspirations will also improve your attainment. (Kohli, 2020). They become more comfortable with their voice, beliefs, and
opinions and often discover talents they didn’t realize they possessed. These are valuable life skills our students will carry
into the workforce. (EdTechTeam, 2019).

Creative ideas must be put into actions. Creativity is said to be the missing piece and the leading reason startups exist in the
first place. (Mario Peshev, 2020). Creative ideas are the foundation of a pathway towards aspiration, those ideas one will
begin with will create a breakthrough to a goal.

5. Conclusion

When it comes to studying or vlogging, a student must have priorities and can multitask. Still, when you multitask
to be a certified Youtube Vlogger and be a top student, you tend to lose focus quickly. You get confused about what to choose
right now and what can wait. So, in conclusion, it is okay to make videos, especially when creating videos is your passion
because in the end, when your channel grows and is monetized, you may make big money. Monetization can help you a lot
in your studies and life. Still, on the other hand, some students just wanted to share their videos to see some of the viewers.

In some cases, most of the students are thrilled at first and motivated to upload. When time goes by, they will stop
uploading videos because they prioritize their future working hard in school. Still, some are just getting too tired to edit
because there is a lot of process in making a good quality video. A good quality video has a higher chance of being viewed
by some audiences. Another is the fame that they will have once they have gained popularity.

In summary, creating clips is excellent, mainly when producing videos is your interest even though you can make
significant money in your education and career in the result when your platform grew and is made available to the public, this
can benefit you a lot, and on the other path, some learners just decided to post their content to be able to see some of the
viewers.

Most students are initially enthusiastic and inspired to publish in some situations. Still, as periods go by, they will
skip uploading videos; although they prioritize their future, they strive hard and smart. Still, some are also getting too lazy to
edit because there is a lot of producing a high-quality video. Some viewers have a better chance of seeing good content blogs
and videos, but at the end of it all it is the experiences, character and circumstances a student underwent while pursuing his
interest in vlogging or any form of social media will paveway to determine the path one chooses.
