      I've never been a realistic person. Oftentimes striving for unrealistic goals that my peers believe are too far to reach. But, has extraordinary change ever happened through realistic means? For as long as I can remember I've been referred to as spacey or “lost in my own world” And I do admit that I prefer the imaginary world to the real one. This is because I can get lost in the depths of an icy blue planet, or orchestrate the world's greatest heist, all in the span of an hour, while sitting at my classroom desk. My interests in the make believe and ability to attain unrealistic ideas have been enhanced by the different movies I watch. One in particular being Sing 2. Sing 2 follows a headstrong Koala Named Buster Moon, and his group of musically gifted individuals that strive for excellence with each show they put on. But, when they get declined by a scouter, they push through to insist that their group is good enough for the big leagues. Mr Moons’ determined and unshakable need to achieve his out of reach dreams is something that I have incorporated into my day-to-day life. For example, when I moved from my secluded and reserved highschool into my fast paced current one, I was put into classes that were below the level I was expecting, specifically my orchestra class. Instead of being put into mastery, I was moved into Adv I. This was a huge step back for me and I was now stuck playing level 3 music. During this period of time I would daydream about what it would be like to play with mastery orchestra, and how it felt to be considered the best orchestra class at Midtown High School. And sometimes I would express this dislike towards our easy music to the other violinists in my class. But, all of their responses were somewhat the same. Usually along the lines of our class not being able to sound good enough playing that music. After a while I got tired of their lack of confidence in my playing skills and their own. So, I decided to take inspiration from Buster Moon, and reach for what was considered the unreachable. With months of practice and hard work I now play level 5 music and I'm the first chair of my section. My newfound determination will not just stop with this victory, but will continue through my art. By showing different depictions of determination I will hi inspire others to strive for their own goals. My broad imagination and love for cartoons reflect in my art and show new and unique ideas that will evoke wonder in viewers. Overall, I believe that creating artwork that shows perseverance and “unrealistic” concepts can help the world reach newer goals that were once unimaginable. Although I haven't discovered or explored a new planet, my artwork has, and will continue to inspire the ones around me.
