Dreaming to Become an Artist

Have you ever dreamed about accomplishing something and seeing yourself on the right track as you get into it? That is what happened and is still happening to me. My name is Ora Anna Ihimbazwe Kirezi. I am going to tell you how I got into art.

It started in second grade close to the end of the year. In art class, I was sitting next to my best friend Maya. She was really good at art and had classes with a professional artist every once in a while. I was not good at art then, but I wanted and hoped to be better at it and maybe get better than Maya. 

I forgot my goal until the summer when my brother Amati encouraged me. Ever since then I started practicing. I didn’t know how to get an art teacher, so I taught myself. When I was satisfied with my art creations, I started showing my family and they complimented me. Their compliments built my confidence in my art. On the first day of third grade, I was pretty sure I had gotten better than Maya, so I drew a picture and showed it to my class. Everyone liked my drawing, even Maya.

To conclude, my story first started when I was hoping I could become a better artist, and in the end, I partly achieved my dream since I still have a long way to go. Fortunately, by practicing and keeping my confidence and high expectations, I can tell my big hopes are to come!
