My art piece "Blooming in Beauty" is to illustrate the beauty of human transformations through nature’s beauty. When a person moves on from earth into the afterlife, that shows a huge step in the human transformation and yet we don’t know how it would look or feel unless the time comes. The butterflies that appear to be coming out from the top of her head shows nature ‘lifting her up into the heavens’ as she vanishes from earth beautifully leaving her mark on the world. The flowers blooming below as she ascends into the heavens are a symbol of her beautiful personality blooming and leaving her mark on earth after the major transformation of her leaving. The woman in this piece had an alter ego of mother nature, meaning she embodied the nurturing aspects of beauty and generosity. While thinking of ideas for this piece, I started thinking of life and the experiences my family and I had to go through like losing my grandfather recently in the year. It took a while to figure out that losing someone is the beauty of life, maybe not in the moment but you take time to realize that once you go through the human transformations that life may throw at you, that shows the beauty of what makes us all human and especially the attributes we all carry with us from the moment we’re born to the day we’re gone. My dreams for the future are to go into the field of business and possibly transfer my art skills into the business world. Maybe start a business regarding art so other people out there can find their talent or hidden abilities that they didn’t think they would have, and I would be more than happy to help inspire people to find that.

What really inspired me to enter in the business field was by seeing how much of a hard worker my dad is in the business field through management and advising. It made me see that I have the potential in myself to open up to new opportunities which will allow me to focus on business and the growth of a successful business as well. These goals make it more attainable for me to keep them alive and moving forward. As all of these tie in together and how effective the values I attribute are, I can really guarantee that for myself in the near future running a business, going into real estate, or becoming an entrepreneur. All these goals will guarantee myself many opportunities as a future leader and as a student currently. Throughout my junior and senior year of high school, I've been affiliated with DECA, a club that helps prepare future business leaders and future entrepreneurs a sense of what the work environment is like through leadership and entrepreneurship. In my senior year I became Vice President of the club and that has really helped me become more of a leader than I have ever experienced. It also gives me the opportunity to view how I am able to be flexible with DECA and other extracurricular activities, plus school. I ended up making it to state for competition and while I accomplished such an endeavor, I gained the confidence needed to show me that I have the potential to become a future business leader. My professional goals in business is to either run my own business, go into real estate, or become an entrepreneur and an expert in my own field. I see from my point of view what strong values I attain to become a business leader and how effective it would be for me to put that to use. The business side of me sees that business leaders can inspire not only ourselves but others while we’re also getting the best out of peers and followers. I strongly believe that once I go into the business field and become an entrepreneur, it will allow for more desirable and attainable goals to come. When you open up a business to different perspectives it opens up for a higher level of innovation in a business which is needed for a business to strive for greater success and capability for the business to grow. Not only does it allow for more success towards the business, but it also increases the desire to keep the work attainable and more efficient as new ideas from different perspectives flow.
