If Money Were No Object

If money was not a concern to me, then there would be a lot of things I would do. Some of them, however, have absolutely nothing to do with helping society. There is a certain selfless act I would do if I could, and that would be becoming an artist. Artists are usually portrayed as struggling people waiting to get their "big break". If I had no regard to money, this would not be a problem because I would be focusing on what makes me happy, not what makes my pockets happy. If money were no object I would definitely spend most of my days looking at the world as my inspiration for my sketching and so forth. Drawing and painting are two things that I love to do, and I would be more than happy if I could make at least one person look at these activities in a new light. Therefore I would not only spend my time bettering myself, I would attempt to make others better as well. I believe art is a great way to express your inner feeling and relieve stress, and if I could teach this skill to others through a community class, then it is not impossible for me to make the world a better place, to some extent.

My Hobby

I have always had one hobby, and that would be drawing. Ever since I can remember I have been sketching things, and I have enjoyed doing it. From a young age my family has been telling me that I possess a "gift" and I should be proud of it. I thought it was just the usual "parental praise" as some call it. However, I began to notice that I did have some actual talent around 5th grade. My drawings did not look anything like the other students drawings. My art teachers took note of my skills and so did my peers. To this day, I still get asked to draw things for others, including my uncle who asked my to draw him a tattoo design. Sometimes, I even get paid, and to me that is surreal. Drawing makes me happy, and I use it to express myself. I love finishing a piece and surprising myself and others as a result. Although I do often drift away from it due to laziness or just being busy, but I am working on it. Not only because I enjoy drawing but to better my skills so I can someday make a career out of it. I love drawing and I hope that even when I'm old and gray I will still love it the same, maybe even more.
