Being creative and making art has always eased my mind while there’s so much going on in the world around me.

I love to draw and use different materials to create a work of art that you can feel emotion through. Whether that means you feel nostalgia, sadness, excitement, love, passion, etc. I want it to make my drawing carry weight.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration is all around me. Sometimes I get inspired by what I feel that day, what I see, or even by people giving me a topic. Inspiration comes from anywhere and how you see the world can depend on how inspired you get.
What would you do with $25,000?Since I’m a first generation college student, $25,000 would mean a lot to me. I currently pay for most of my expenses and work a lot outside of classes, while already being a full-time student. I’m currently about to be a fifth year college student, and TOPS/ Federal grants only last 4 years. My plan would be to pay off my last year of college so I don’t have to take out so many loans, and save the rest so I can build on my savings account!
