I have overcome many obstacles in my life. Some of these include screaming fits due to my mental illness, and calling the emergency services excessively. I have since learned how to control my temper, which is a symptom of my mental illness. I have become more compliant with treatment and medications and realized that it was time for me to get control over my own life.
 
My mother and best friend are both artists. They have each inspired me in different ways to try different forms of art. I taught myself how to paint and draw. I like the kind of art that I do because it is relaxing and I enjoy doing it.
