Why i do this

I do "this" because i do what i want to do. Anything i am currently "doing" or working on, is something i chose to be a part of and art is one of those things. I started taking art classes before high school then was enrolled at the art students league in new york city. I always enjoyed making art and i alway liked the way my art looked whether i was painting, drawing, building, ext. At a young age i realized i wanted to continue making art for the re of my life. My fututure plan is to teach underprivildeged, and emotionally diturbed children full time at a school. I have already got my foot in the door in that relm through my work two summers ago as an assistant teacher and one to one aid at Hawthrone Cedar Knowls school in NYC.
 While i feel really determined and focussed on using what i learned at Ringling to build my art up and to teach on the side, i also want to work imediatly after Ringling in a busy city (nyc) as an intern around fashion and design. More specificially, before my mother completed art school, she began working and eventually landed as an artistic director of high fahion photo shoots working with high profile people and was able to really use her artist talent and design eye in a field she loved. I feel really connected to her career path after art school.
I do "this" because i want to, becuase i know where im heading in the future, and becuause i see Ringling as the start of something very big for me within the art world.
