Creativity! Art! Commitment! These are my best skills. Since I was in first grade, I enjoyed drawing to bring others happiness. My teachers and family would encourage me to share my vibrant imagination. When I won my first art award from the Riverside Art Museum as a child, it was exhilarating to see other's reaction to my art pieces and creativity. The world and life's journey can bring sadness and challenges, but I strive to inspire others with hope and faith through my art skills and abilities. My commitment is to bring hope through art. Hope inspires us to do the impossible and helps each individual carry on through the most demanding and burdensome trials. I have countless goals and dreams for my future, but there is one special ambition I plan to conquer, so I can share my talents with a special group of amazing people on earth. My brother has autism and he is the most wondrous person in my life. Taking art classes changed my bother's life. He enjoyed every minute of it, but it served as a therapy without him even knowing. Our art teachers were so patient with him, and after years of support this provided him other opportunities. I had the honor of experiencing the formation of my brother for five years, when we took art classes together. It is my dream to open an art studio and offer families like mine, who live with autism, this rewarding possibility. It would be my privilege in life to share my talents, skills, and abilities with students and their families who are searching for hope. As an artist, I seek to bring beauty into this world with colors, imagination, hope, and patience. By helping others, I will improve my skills and be the best me.
