It Was Her Choice To Stay True To Her Passion
Emily had always been drawn to the world of art. As a child, she was captivated by the beauty of museum exhibits and loved to spend her free time drawing and painting. Yet, when she shared her passion with her peers, they often laughed and made sarcastic snide comments.
Despite the negative comments from her peers, Emily continued to immerse herself in her art and dreamt of making it her career one day. With Mark Twain’s wise words in mind, she sought out other artists who shared her passion for creativity.
One day, she met a local artist named Paul who saw her potential and encouraged her to pursue her ambition. He took Emily under his wing, sharing his own experience, technique, and network, while continuously boosting her self-esteem.
With Mr. Twain's wisdom ringing in her ears, Emily chose to surround herself with people who believed in her and pushed her to follow her dreams. She worked diligently at her craft and eventually found success, and that also helped her come out of her shell and meet others who shared her interests.
Years later, Emily attended an opening reception for her own art exhibit, where she saw some familiar faces- one group was made up of the same peers who made fun of her ambition all those years ago. They came up to her and said their congratulations, marveling at how talented she had become and complimenting her on the beautiful creations they had just seen.
As they walked away, Emily couldn't help but think of Mark Twain's quote. She knew that small minds like the ones that disparaged her as a child would always exist, but it was her choice to stay true to her passion and follow the encouragement of those who believed in her potential. She carried on walking into a future filled with new creations and new possibilities.
