Ambition

When I was a child I loved drawing and painting. In school or at home I always had paper and colored pens. I painted animals, people, castles and monsters. My parents would put my pictures up on the wall all around the house and I was always so proud of my paintings.

Later when I was older and I started high school my parents encouraged me to learn about accounting and business so I tried. I wasn’t very good at math but I studied harder and in the end I got good results. I studied very hard but I still loved painting and even though I didn’t have much free time, at weekends I would try and paint as much as I could.

When the time came for me to choose my university and my subject, my parents really wanted me to choose business management. But my love for painting made me choose a course in fine art. My parents were very disappointed. Now my paintings are displayed in many important art galleries and my parents are very happy and proud of me.
