Male Female

One day, I was scrolling through my phone, specifically YouTube. I came across a video of a drawing time lapse. Now, I usually did not care for art. However, the final product, which was on the thumbnail of the video, really captured my attention. It hooked me. So I clicked on it and saw how the artist was so focused and concentrated on his art that it inspired me. I thought art was just a hobby that someone enjoyed; I did not find it serious. So I started by searching for tutorials. I began by drawing shapes and outlines of bodies. Now, at first, I was really bad. However, I pushed myself and continued because I wanted to learn this skill. I found myself really relaxed, and my mind would turn off once I concentrated on creating shapes and bringing my imagination to life. This has been particularly helpful for me since I'm a senior student, where I'm stressing over international exams like the IELTS. If I am really stressed and panicked over the exam, I take a break and just doodle. It could be anything: a chair, food, or even characters from my own imagination. All of it helps me.

Who do you think should be more responsible for protecting the environment, individuals or the government?

I think both should take responsibility. The government can make strict low-spilled recycling systems and give more money for green projects. However, individuals also matter. We can save water, reduce waste, and the public transport. Neither side can solve environmental problems alone, so they need to work together.
