I enjoyed getting to interact with students from all the different clusters and all of my art classes.

Joanne Traeger, my drawing teacher. She was so encouraging, helpful, kind, patient, interesting. We stayed in touch for years after I graduated.

Find a school or area of study that you love and work hard to achieve something in that area.
