I remember once in 3rd grade I attempted to make my own comic. It was called the adventures of Super Fifi and Super Princess (based off my best friends and I' dogs). I also remember how in 3rd grade I came to the undestaning that I was a horrible artist. So whenever it came to drawing in class I would draw but I was aware I was bad, however in like 7th or 8th grade something sparked and I was like you know what In gonna keep a notebook and draw in it. I did draw in it however that was also the time I became friends with a girl who who had excellent drawing skills(she drew great but to my 13 year old self I thought she was awesome) so when I looked at my notebook I realized they were bad drawings, the only thing I could draw was this hairy beast. So what did I do? I gave up. I just decided maybe art isn't just for me. 9th grade came and I met two of the most talented people I know. Back then it wasn't as obvious that one of the people was talented but the other one was so talented that I was like whoaaaa maybe art isn't for me. The other one also told me later on maybe this year, art isn't supposed to be perfect and that not everybody is just born with artistic skills , it takes practice, I've never really realized how true those words were until now. I realize Instead of just moping around how art wasn't my thing I should've been focused on trying to improve. It's senior year but it's never too late to try. I think I'm going to practice drawing, I mean obviously I'm not gonna major in it but I think it's going to be a hobby for me. What about you? Did you ever have something you loved doing when you were small? Why did you stop? Any dream or aspiration in which you had or still have? My advice: GO FOR IT! You may not be the best at what you like doing but with practice you'll get better. Try new things! Go nuts! Show nuts! Well maybe not show nuts... but you get the point. If you don't know what you're gonna do in life try new things or even old things you've abandoned
