I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene. -Grandma Moses In this Blog, I read 3 articles written by Lee Gutkind, Lee Martin, and Maya Angelou and I'm going to compose a scene about my present life.
On a beautiful cloudy day, Sitting in the car on my way to school, my mom told me, "My daughter, you are beautiful and only you can make yourself sad, only you can put yourself in a bad situation, only you can bring your own downfall. Just be careful with the choices that you made because they have consequences." I was just looking at my mom and I ask, "what made you want to tell me this?" You know what she said, "she just felt like preaching." I laughed and said "Okay." Its really crazy what you can take from at 30 minute car ride conversation. When I arrived to school, I got out the car and I was just thinking about my life at 20 years old. I was just thinking,"How will I end up in 5 years. Will I end up being a bum? Will I be famous? Will i be a still person ? Will I succeed in a higher education then my parents?" All these thoughts filling my head while I'm walking to class. It's crazy how I'm still young as ever, thinking about life when I have to realize that I have time. I have time to get what I want done but I have to be patience.

I love that your mom encourages you. Sometimes mothers just know what to say and when it needs to be said.
