When I was younger, the arts were an extremely important part of my life. It was a mode of communication that came to me more easily than others, such as speaking or writing, and I found that I used it more often. I was able to express myself in ways that were not possible for me to do so solely through the use of words when I used art. Through my drawings, paintings, and sculptures, I discovered that I was able to communicate a wide range of feelings, ideas, and stories.

In addition, art provided me with a means to excel and differentiate myself from my contemporaries. Despite the fact that I had a lot of trouble in school, I discovered that I had a natural talent for art. Because of this, I was able to earn recognition and praise from my instructors as well as my classmates and my family members. It helped me feel more confident and gave me a sense of accomplishment at the same time.

In addition, I was able to release the stresses of everyday life by immersing myself in the creative process. It enabled me to forget about everything else for a little while and concentrate solely on the process of creating something new. This allowed me to take a much-needed break and assisted me in better managing my anxiety and stress levels.

In general, the arts played a significant role in my formative years, serving as an outlet for expression, a path to personal growth, and a way for me to escape reality.
