Art can be cathartic and wonderful and so many wonderful things. Your students are lucky to have your guidance. I am moved that you shared the back story of losing your mother and dealing with your life after. I lost my mother when I was 16 (she was sick about 2 years). That is a tough thing.Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187940973442646552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073663667387529623.post-75299021713749723152012-04-03T18:23:59.334-07:002012-04-03T18:23:59.334-07:00What an amazing story - thanks for sharing!

We had 1-2 art teacher that taught all of the classes because the major was so small. I kid you not, I got a D on EVERY single project I did in my drawing class & intro class because this woman hated me! I get that maybe I wasn't good at it/doing it how she liked it, but come on, a D? In my book, D's are reserved for those who just didn't try hard enough, not for people who may not have done it to her liking!Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686565812112185860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073663667387529623.post-18763123499680394192012-04-03T07:37:36.694-07:002012-04-03T07:37:36.694-07:00Such an inspirational post!

I'm STILL trying to catch up from my mistake as a freshman.. many summer classes later. But it's all about getting there eventually right? ;) So glad you followed your passion, after rediscovering it! You definitely have a talent, and your students' artwork is to die for.

I was always an A student and in my senior year I had a teacher tell our class that anyone who got As all through high school had hit their peak. They would never get any better than that. That was in 2002. 10 years later I still remember it and remember thinking feeling lost. If I had already peaked, what would I do next? It sucked! Congrats for finally finding your niche. I'm sure your students are thrilled about it :)Lauren Talonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845322463668015687noreply@blogger.com
