A Big Decision Graduating from the elementary school, I made a big decision—attending the art class. Since then, painting, which was my interest, had turned into a challenging task. Because I had to study and accomplish many works of art at the same time, I sacrificed most of my leisure hours. I gradually became as busy as a bee. This decision indeed changed my life. The following are the influences. (劃底線處請翻譯成英文) First, attending the art class expanded my horizons. I knew more about art. And, I was inspired by different painting techniques and ideas.
