Christiana Wildwood was laying down and was finishing her last touches on her artwork. She wanted not only to win a lot of trophies in art but also to have her own studio. Then, raise money for kids who didn't have enough money to take art classes. Christina had a chance to enter into her school's art competition, The Lighthouse Talent Show. The Lighthouse Talent Show was hosted by the Hugger Krater Art School. The talent show had enough money for the winner to have their studio. This wasn't the end of talent show award. The winner's artwork would be sent to Chicago University and be entered into the National Visual Art Competition. If Christiana won the talent show, she would have her own studio and would have a chance to go to Nationals. Paige Ocean, A student at Hugger Krater School, had also heard this event. Paige also wanted to have her own studio to continue her carrier in art. However, Paige had a different dream than Christiana. Paige had wanted to study art and have her work in exhibitions. These two girls were rivals and were hoping to win this exciting event. Christiana Christiana had been pondering in her room thinking about ideas for the Lighthouse Talent Show when her phone started buzzing. A message from Paige was sent a couple of seconds ago.The text read, "Don't even sign up for the talent show because I am going to win." Christina dropped her phone and started panicking. Christina felt a drop of sweat run down her back. Christiana had done nothing to Paige except winning more competitions than her. Christina and Paige had not been friends since they have been in fourth grade. They both were outstanding in art and have been in many art shows. If either of them won the talent show they would become well kno... ... middle of paper ... ...o finish everything in a week. When I started to finish my piece of art, the judges said it had to have this many colors, oil, paint, pencil, and crayon in it. I had to start all over again. I took a deep breath and started to sketch out the piece. The work I was doing for the talent show was something for my dad. My dad never pays attention to what I do in my artwork. I've been trying to show my dad that I was doing this is my art carrier. I really wanted to impress my dad in what I do. My sisters who are twins are major varsity volleyball players in the ninth grade. Therefore, my dad was concentrating his focus to my sisters. I really felt left out of the family and hated being the middle child of the family. After art shows I would come home and my mom would congratulate me but my dad would drink his coffee. I felt like I had been the third wheel of my family.
Sofia is a very talented girl who is struggling to make a tough decision, whether to go to the elite boarding school that’s 350 miles away from home or follow the path every young woman in her culture is expected to take to become a good comadre.It all began when sofia was trick-OR-treating she was unsatisfied with what she was getting in her pueblo,so she asked her dad to go to the other side of town where the rich people lived and was happy about what she gotten from the rich side of town. After that sofia wanted to
Now I wished that I could pen a letter to my school to be read at the opening assembly that would tell them how wrong we had all been. You should see Zachary Taylor, I’d say.” Lily is realizing now that beauty comes in all colors. She is also again being exposed to the fact that her way of being raised was wrong, that years and years of history was false. “The whole time we worked, I marveled at how mixed up people got when it came to love.
A small town girl from the age of seven watched miss America Pageant and she always wanted to be in it. She was very concerned on how she looked as if she wasn’t pretty enough. She practiced and practiced for the pageant so much. She wasn’t very rich she got her leg warmers from Kmart (Bosley, Cindy. How I Lost the Junior Miss Pageant. N.p.: n.p., 2008. Print.). The dress she wore was here old prom dress. She was very concerned about her mothers lonliness and she included that in her speech. She felt like she lost at birth, with wet shorts, too funky music, engagement ring on her seventeen year old finger and borrowed shoes. She knew she wasn’t going to win because she had so many flaws but everyone does and ahe was too concerned about
...family that she grew up in was such a negative environment. It is very possible that she will grow up to be an art teacher. One might think this because she looked up to her art teacher so much and admired her; Ellen’s mind is full of creativity and ideas. When Ellen’s school found out that her dad was abusive to her they put her up at her art teacher’s house. Ellen says “I came a long way to get here but when you think about it really hard you will see that old Starletta came even farther… And all this time I thought I had the hardest row to hoe” Like Ellen did, it is important for everyone to look back into their life and see what they have learned. Doing so cannot change ones past but only add to their future. Ellen will always carry the horrors of her childhood with her but by using all of her assets that she gained throughout the book her future can be enriched.
She sacrificed almost all her personal pleasure for studying, but she did not see the point why she should make such sacrifice since she found the class reading as well as essays hardly arouse her interests. As she finally laid her eye on the bookshelf, seeing all the certificates and awards she had earned, Jennifer suddenly thought of what her father had told her, “school always comes first”. Tiredly and aimlessly, Jennifer signed and looked at a picture of her father. Slowly closing her eyes, she temporarily forgot about all the things like a tough life and overwhelming schoolwork which could make her stressful, and let her beautiful childhood memories of balloons, carousels and her father’s smiling face come into
“I always knew I wanted to be a teacher,” she stated. Her passion for helping children with special needs was developed at a later age. The reason why Chris decided to be a special education teacher was because of two twin boys in her grade who had special needs. Chris was only in kindergarten at the time, but she recalls that one of these boys did not get to go to school. The other boy, Jimmy, could come to school, but he would have to leave halfway through the school day. Chris was confused and upset about how Jimmy could not be at school and asked her mom about this. The reason why Jimmy and his brother were not at school was because there was no special education program. This moment, even though she was in kindergarten, shaped Chris’s plan for her
Ruby waited hours for her results. When her results were back she was very nervous, then she saw the paper and was jumping up and down of excitement because she had passed the test! The next week her mom woke her up early and she packed Ruby’s lunch, for the first day of school. Her parents were scared of what would happen to Ruby but they also had faith she would do good.
My mother didn’t have a perfect schedule set up for us, but she had certain expectations for me and my siblings. She expected us to go to school, and come back home. Unlike Shell 's neighborhood, we couldn’t have kids just playing outside because you never knew what was going on in the streets. We didn’t have the back and front yard available to us, but me and my siblings will find ways in which to keep ourselves entertained. We did become creative, but also coming from a lower class community there was always one sibling that was always doing more thinking than the
When I was around fifteen her daughter took over teaching the fiddlers and would often have me lead a separate group. Around this time I started to think about what I wanted to do in life career wise. I had never really found any career that appealed to me, the thought had been that I would eventually go into music education, however teaching my sister violin for a year and later my three younger brothers for around two more years made me pretty certain that I didn’t want to become a teacher. During all this time my art had been on a back burner, just a something I would do to destress. All this changed when I bought the book The Art of Tangled; a book all about the production and development art of the move Tangled. I had no idea so much work was put into animated films, and the idea that that was someone’s actual job was exciting to me. I started researching what type of degrees were needed for a concept art job which lead me to the not unexpected conclusion that nowhere in Mississippi offers any kind of illustration

Looking back at my past, I recall my mother and father’s relationship as if it were yesterday. I am only four years old, small and curious; I tended to walk around my home aimlessly. I would climb book shelves like a mountain explorer venturing through the Himalayans, draw on walls to open windows to my own imagination, or run laps around the living room rug because to me I was an Olympic track star competing for her gold medal; however my parents did not enjoy my rambunctious imagination. My parents never punished me for it but would blame each other for horrible parenting skills; at the time I did not understand their fights, but instead was curious about why they would fight.
She attempted to get me to switch my minor to business or language, even though I made it clear I had no interest in either subject. This was a big deal to me because I usually do everything my mother asks without putting up much resistance. This was the only time I did something that was just for me. I’m glad I did not switch. Drawing 1 was one of the hardest classes I ever took. I had to sleep in the studio just to have enough time to finish my artwork, as did all of my classmates. The entire class of about twenty people became close, a result of spending every meal together. I learned how to be friendly in this class, and my awkwardness from high school evaporated. Even though I loved Drawing 1, I still wanted to make my career in the
When I was a little girl, I loved to draw. I spent my days going on adventures with my dolls and then doodling the scenarios down on paper. Drawing was amusing and it brought me true pleasure and up to age eleven, I was determined to become an artist when I grew up. One day, while I was sprawled out on the floor doodling, I mentioned my ambition to my mother. There was a moment of silence, and I stoppe...
At last we had brought all our practicing skills into work at the final stages. After working hard for three solid months it all paid off, the competing mat was beneath our feet. It was as if I could almost hear the girl?s hearts thumping before we walked onto the mat. I couldn?t stop smiling, I had the biggest grin on my face as if I were the cat who just ate the canary. Only when I thought that was enough, my facial expressions were amazing, all the nights I spent in front of the mirror or watching my self through the reflection of the glass door in my kitchen. It?s hard to go first because watching all the other teams compete makes you think, how did I do?
One bright early summer morning Kiana and her softball team traveled to Hot Springs, Arkansas. They were making their way to Magic Springs to celebrate winning their back to school all night tournament. They could already tell it was going to be a delightful day, all the girls were so thrilled to get on the rides and spend their day at Magic Springs, until something unexpected happened.
