WHY!!!???

I decided at 40 years of age to go back to school because I love art and wanted to get a degree in the field of art.I had no way of paying for this endeaver until a co-worker told me about WIN Job and how they were paying for associate degrees for people who were in Hurricane Katrina (I was) so I applied and was accepted! Good news until my caseworker told me that the only thing on their list that had art in the title was Graphic Design .I said ,"sign me up"! Little did I know that the "graphic " was code for computer at which I was not very familiar with. I struggled the 2 years in Mr. Jones' class and came out with a B average but I am no more a graphic designer than when I started, just a little bit more savvy on the computer.I still do art, but mostly for friends and co-workers who genuinely like my work and regularly ask for more.So in a way I am an artist and that is enough for now.
