i feel that my quiet nature is going to limit my success as an artist. i need to learn to trust myself, and my creative talents. when i graduated high school i felt like i had achieved this. i won a national photography competition, and felt on top of the world and very confident. when i got to college, i wasn’t the best of the best anymore.

i’ve since decided photography is not what i want to do with my life, but i am an artist. i want to be an interior designer, or work in merchandise marketing. i feel i really need to become more confident to be successful in either of those fields.
