They will join the work force, continue their education later in graduate school, or do both, and will begin a fresh start in the real world. Most are excited for the possible opportunity of getting a job that pays higher than minimum wage along with not having to wake up for an 8 a.m. But what about what they are leaving behind?

I’ve been drawing and painting pictures (whether it was on walls or on paper) since I was two. Growing up, I knew that I was choosing a profession most people would — and have — denounced as not a “real,” sufficient job that would provide a steady income. None of that was important to me, as I have never really cared much of what other people think. I considered it a real job and I knew that I couldn’t see myself doing anything else so that’s all that mattered. READ MORE |
