College Admissions Essay: The Art Of Drawing

I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. I honestly don't remember a time I didnt draw. But if I had to take my best guess, it would probably be around when I was four to five years old. I can remember being in kindergarten and whenever we had free time, the first thing I would do is get out a marker, colored pencils, and some paper and start drawing away. Of course it wasn’t very good at the time but it kept me occupied and brought me joy. Even when we got assignments, instead of doing the actual work, I would just doodle everywhere around the questions. I would act as if they weren't there, it was my paper, with my name on it, where I created. Who really sparked my interest in drawing to start with was my older sister Kayla. She
It reminds me that I have a talent, a purpose. I can do something that I can not only enjoy but be successful at. It really boosts my esteem when I finish a drawing and am actually satisfied with it. Although as an artist, I judge my work a lot. I sometimes draw something over and over again because it’s not perfect in my eyes, it looks a little off, a line is a little too wobbly. I do this almost every single time which also pulls me away from drawing, I get frustrated and angry with my work when I can't get it just the way it is in the pictured in my head. I am sometimes even too scared to start a piece of work because I am afraid that I will make too many mistakes or worse, waste my time. But somehow, I always come back to a piece of paper and pencils. Its how I show my emotion at the time, how I pour out my feelings from the day. I just relax and release whatever is on my mind. It is my way of talking without really saying anything. This is what drives me to continue, this is why I continue to draw almost every single
I will most likely continue to have it as a hobby and just do it in my free time. I don't think that I will ever take it on professionally because it can be really hard money wise. Also, I just feel that it isn’t meant to be my job, I feel that their is something else I should be doing, I don't know what it is yet but I am almost positive that drawing is not it. Although this doesn’t mean I would ever push it out of the picture, I am open to it in the way in such a way as that I sometimes change my mind and that I also never know what the future has in store for me. As time goes on, I hope my drawing skills continue to blossom. I want to continue growing in this field, learn new thing. I want to continue striving to be better. I want to look back in the future and compare my work to see how much my skills have grown. I will continue to practice and work hard on drawing. From when I was a young child and could barely hold a pencil correctly in my hand, to now, my drawing ability has expanded. Because of me wanting to constantly be like my sister, I have found my passion, something I will never give up on. The beauty behind all that brings me back every time. Although I do not want to take on this passion of mine as a job, I hope to continue doing it for fun and possibly publicly show my work for more entertainment purposes and not money. All of this put together, this is why I
