Talent

    Everybody has some sort of talent, it could be some weird talent, or a normal talent.  Out of all the talents that I have, my best one is drawing.  Most of my dad’s relatives know how to draw, so I grew up looking at all of the drawings that my uncles or my dad used to show me.  When I was a kid I really wanted to learn, well not learn but draw like them.  So I started tracing pictures from my coloring books and tell my uncles that I drew them.  They would tell me that I was very talented, and that I could draw better than them.  Even though it wasn’t true, for some reason it made me really happy but at the same time sad because I knew that I didn’t really draw them.  

    As I grew older I decided not to trace things anymore, but to start drawing them by myself, so I did.  I remember that the first thing that I drew without tracing was bugs bunny.  The first drawing came out ugly but I dint give up, I kept on trying and trying, I think I probably drew it like 5 times then the last one was the best one.  I went up to my uncle and showed him the drawing.  This time really was impressed because at first he didn’t believe me because he thought that I traced it like all of my other drawings, but then he went to go look at my coloring books and he noticed that the bugs bunny that I drew wasn’t in any of my coloring books, so he decided to go ask my dad to see if he drew it or something.  But my dad said no.

    He was really impressed by my artistic skills so he started showing me different techniques of how to draw better, he even bought me special pencils and paper to continue drawing.  And now he says that I draw better than he does because now I even know how to draw people.  I really like the talents that I have and I think I have it because like I said, I grew up watching my uncles and dads drawings and they’re the ones that pushed me to keep on going.
