College has caused me to lose many things that I have hold dear. Art and writing mostly. maybe not college directly but things brought on by college. I use to be praisied for my art. In middle school I was artist of the year every year. In high school I knew all of the art teachers and they were all impressed with talents that I possesed. Though looking back I never thought I was anything special. I still don't...I have been able to convince others of my abitlities but not myself. I should work on that.
