It would definitely be painting. Since I was a little kid, I loved painting because my grandma was actually an artist. She loved everything about painting: she does natural, people, food, like everything you can paint. So when I was young, I was always watching her and watching how she paints and how she brings things to life. So I wanted to become like her when I got older. So I started to watch YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, like everything I need to learn how to paint, even though I sucked at first. But I would take a paper and paint whatever I thought of because this was my desire. I wanted to learn how to paint. So I started with a video about drawing a letter like Y or L, and it turned into a strawberry or whatever food. So I started to do it, and it was pretty bad at first, but it really improved. And from this skill, it helped me a lot in university and school because I started to gain more marks on how incredible my painting was. And I started to go to museums of painting and started to take information about the painting and why they did it and why it had to be like this. So my desire and love for painting has become better and better that I started to teach my younger sibling and my younger cousin how to paint because I always loved painting. And when my grandma passed away, one thing in my mind: I want to paint. I want to do what my grandma loved. I want something that will always keep me connected to her and make me think of her. I don't want to forget that my grandma used to love painting. I don't want to forget how passionate she was who painted. This is the only memory I have of her, and I will keep drawing to think of this amazing person, amazing artist, the person who inspired me to be an artist.
