My name is Jackie.
I want to build my ability in Art
at LaGuardia Community College and I'm here now.
I began to have a dream to be an artist since I was elementary school.
I couldn't even think about any other dreams instead of Art.
I think God gave me a talent to be an Artist.
  
    Art is everything for my life.
   
     
 


I decided that I should study Art accurately
when I was a middle school student.


  So,I decided to go an art institute to learn how to   draw.

I had no education about art except the regular art class in the middle school.

I began to learn drawing, but it isn't easy.

However, I couldn't give up, because I really wanted to go a college which is the most greatest college in my major in my country.

I tried and tried, drew and drew for 3 years. 

I think I drew plaster figures over 1000 times
and I even remembered how to draw without seeing the plaster figures.

There is a big drawing test to enter the college I really wanted to go.
 I had to draw one of the plaster figures exactly like a real.

I hated this kind of a way of testing.
So, I gave up going the college that I wanted to go.

Because, I thought it was not right test to judge one's talent and passion toward art.

I decided to go to New York to study in Art again.

It was totally different education style with I'd had in my country.

I like the way of teaching Art in New York.

I still feel like I’m not ready to be an artist yet.

But, keep trying hard and doing my best then , , ,

I believe that I finally can be an Artist.

I dont mean that I want to be a popular Artist.

I just want to be an Artist who can really feel Art.

If the chance to become an art teacher in my country comes to me,
I want to change the way of teaching art in my country with my experiences in NY.
