Drawings Instead of Lessons

Eversince I could remember, I’ve always had a passion for drawing cartoon characters. I wasn’t very academically inclined but I had a passion for the arts, particularly animation. When I was young, my father thought it was such a waste of time. I must admit that no parent wants to look at notebooks full of cartoon character drawings instead of lessons from school. My mother on the other hand, seemed worried but she didn’t scold me about it. But I kept on drawing, hoping that one day I will make use of this talent that I have. All my friends say that I have a very good hand at drawing and this encourages me more to be better at it. Also my father told me many times that no money will come out of it and that I will not find a good job with it. At a very young age, I knew what I wanted in life and I knew that I will do whatever it takes to prove him wrong.
