Sometimes I want to draw and paint and bring these ideas in my mind to life. I will sit for hours drawing and coloring as the sun sets in the background. I'll draw portraits for people who want one because I can charge a little money to help myself keep up with supplies. Sometimes I'll sit and keep my eyes focused for hours as my pen slides across the soft sheet of paper. Sometimes it causes my parents to get upset.

I do well in school, I always have, but sometimes my grades start slacking a little when I focus more on my drawings and paintings. They don't drop too much as I like staying on top of everything, yet my parents always pressure me to do better. They tell me I can always make top remarks, and it makes me sad when I fail.

I don't know which path I want to take, but I just know I want to be happy. I want to take the path I desire, not the one my parents present me. Sometimes it's difficult because I can succeed both ways, and it will always be a struggle. I just hope that one day I can say I made the decision that was best for me. I want to break the chains my parents placed on me because I don't want their happiness to mess with mine.
