Hi
there lovely face!
Ever
sat somewhere and had a memory of something that made you really proud? Well… I
just had one of those moments and I just wanted to write something about it. A
little disclaimer: this is not me bragging about something or me wanting to be
cool or whatever. This is just me genuinely sharing a childhood memory that
made me feel happy. :-)
I
love being creative, and I’ve loved it since I’ve been a child. I love drawing
and when you spot me in class during a boring lesson supposedly taking notes,
you can bet I’m doodling away. I don’t consider myself that good, but when I
was still in secondary school I had art class. We were working on a project
where you had to draw a person’s face and most of the kids in my class were
just trying to copy a picture or used pre-printed eyes, noses and mouths. I wasn’t.
I always doodle faces in my notebooks so I just thought I’d wing it.
The
teacher came to look at everyone’s work and when she came to my table she
almost couldn’t believe what I could do at my age, she thought I was very
talented. She even made everyone come over to my table to see it and told
everyone that they should use my work as an example. As I said before I hate
being the centre of attention, but this made me so proud. Someone big – the teacher
– actually noticed that I could draw; she even mentioned I had a talent! As I
was quite shy and insecure, this meant a lot to me. It still does. When I think
back to that moment it still makes me feel happy and proud.
This is something I drew in secondary school, I don't remember in which year though... but I think it must have been the second or third year of secondary school.
The
last few months some people from my school and I have been setting up an “Introduction
Camp”, to start school in a fun way. Pretty much all new students at my school
are going to this camp to have fun and get to know their new classmates. I got
asked to design the logo for this activity and that is also something I’m quite
proud of. It’s now used on the handouts and on t-shirts and it’s insane to see
something you’ve created on a t-shirt that hundreds of people will be wearing
for at least a few days (I will definitely use mine as PJs when the camp is
over haha!).
Again,
I don’t want to come across as someone who’s bragging about things. I just want
to share something that makes me happy. Please tell me something that makes you
happy in the comments. Childhood memories or something that recently happened,
anything, it doesn’t matter. <3
Lots
of love,
Laurie
