                        <p>I see myself as an artist that will learn from the community 
                          and give back. I have seen so many different types of 
                          art in my lifetime that are both fascinating and dull. 
                          I want to be able to make my own art that will carry 
                          my message of how society should be and make it speak 
                          aloud to people. I have always thought that the meaning 
                          of art was to speak through colors and images rather 
                          than words. To put that idea in context for myself I 
                          would need to create art that carries my message to 
                          people so they can understand and feel what I feel about 
                          society. That is what I believe is the job of an artist 
                          in the world, to be able to let people know how everything 
                          is changing with their art. The fact that there are 
                          so many contemporary artists now shows how artists are 
                          able to express art in ways never done before and can 
                          get people to notice very easily. </p>
                        <p>There is an unlimited way for one to express their 
                          thoughts now, such as music, television, art, etc. I 
                          really want to use art as my primary way to express 
                          myself and use my mind. I will take it as my duty as 
                          an artist to make sure my art carries the purest and 
                          most meaningful images so many people can change their 
                          ways when they see it, into better ways. I am always 
                          a person that likes to help others, that is why I want 
                          to become a doctor in the future. That is why I wanted 
                          to be an artist, so I can help others by spreading my 
                          messages of a good society though art. Art is such a 
                          beautiful thing so I am proud to call myself an artist. 
                          Even though I need to improve a lot, I really hope I 
                          can change people in good ways with the art I am going 
                          to make and also learn from the people in societies 
                          actions. </p>
