A bit of a personal work,
Back in my junior - senior highschool days, I always struggled with my academic skills, leading to my parents worried about my future, because the only thing I can do is to draw and draw only.
It's not easy to convince your parents that you're taking an art career. If you want, then you always need something to prove, and that is something I barely have, winning a school competition wasn't really enough for them because It's merely just an 'achievement' that doesn't do anything other than to impress someone.
I stopped caring about school since then and tried to get out from it as soon as I can, but I never really had any plan on what to do next, so I was depressed.
Until one day it snapped me, I decided to pursue my career as an artist because, screw it, that's the only choice that make sense to me because I enjoy em.
I may not be that smart, but at least I can draw.
