A huge mentor in my life is my art teacher Mrs. Griffin. I started taking art classes with her in 2020, and throughout the years she has taught me both art skills and life skills. She taught me to be confident in myself and that hard work can get you anywhere. She also taught me to choose to paint what would challenge me, not just what I thought I was capable of. These challenges and support is what led me to become such a confident painter and eventually paint the school's art work.
