I don't remember a stage of my life without drawing, drawing was my favorite hobby since I was a child, my family said I would be a great artist when I grew up, but I never thought about seriously studying graphic design or painting. I don't consider myself an amazing drawer, but I want to share with you this family portrait that I made two years ago:

 

 

 

 

I didn't know how to give it the value it deserved when I finished it, I kept the portrait in my drawing folder for a long time. Then I entered the University and finding time to draw was more difficult for me, have you ever felt that you want to do so many things, but finally you don't end up doing anything? This new stage made me reflect on many things, my way of studying, my bad habits, how far I was from becoming the person I wanted to be and my goals in the life. My grades were terrible during the first semester, my academic life had never been so bad, that's the reason why it affected me so much. I felt that the situation was beyond me, I started to doubt my progress, I thought I was at the top of my life and dreaming higher would be impossible. 

 

One day, while cleaning my room, I found that folder of drawings, I felt sadness when I saw it covered with dust, then, I went back to see the portrait I did, I remember that before I started, I thought I would not be so good to achieve that result, I remember the nights I spent painting each part carefully, I remember the times my mom told me how well I was doing and for a moment, I stopped thinking about the impossible, simply, I did the best with what I knew how to do. I think we all have an object or moment that represents the best of us and that day, I was in front of that object.
