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.
