Read the beginning of Joseph’s personal narrative.

My aunt Sophia is a painter. She started painting when she was a young girl and went to an art school later in life. Now, she makes her living selling her paintings all over the world. When I was in elementary school, a classmate made fun of a drawing I made of a horse. It made me feel like I was a bad artist, so I told myself I would never draw again. I refused to do any artwork, no matter what anyone said. That changed when my family went to visit my Aunt Sophia when I was twelve years old.
