life goals

Hi,  Im a grade 7 student who was never really good or into art, I always wanted to get better but I could never find a way so in grade 5, I set a goal for myself to become more passionate and get better at art because I had always had trouble in art. I would always have crooked lines and colour outside of the lines. I achieved this goal by watching a ton of videos on how to get better, trying for hours to get nice lines and trying to draw perfect shapes. After a while, I got inspired by this one person on Youtube because he had always put countless hours into drawing one picture. One day, I had just watched one of his videos and I tried drawing a Leopard, I wanted to quit at certain times but I kept going and didn't give up. I ended up drawing for the whole day and managed to draw a leopard that I was really proud of, it was the first drawing that I thought didn't look like my regular drawing, it looked much better. I knew that I achieved my goal when I brought my drawing to school and saw that everybody was telling me that it looked really good, I was really proud of myself. If you ever have a goal and you feel like it would never happen, just keep trying and never give up, you will achieve that goal if you try hard enough.

Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears. -Gillian Anderson
