Hi Misaki~Sasaki,

Sorry to hear that you have had so much sadness in your life. The last two years must have been very hard for you and your family.

Your input is greatly valued in this group, but your family commitments, school & work have to take priority.

Do you have any goals in mind/place following your graduation?

Yes I do Chris, thanks for asking. After graduation I'd really like to go to school to be a artist that makes anime, it might be harder for me to do that do to my ACT scores so I might take them again.
Also I am going to go to college to be an occupational therapist, but the art and anime is my passion.

Misaki_Sasaki,

You are wise to have a secondary job lined up alongside your creative passion. An Occupational Therapist is a very caring job and the rewards are ten-fold. - The biggest one being that you will have oodles of spare time to follow your passion.

Have you heard of the 'First Taste Art Community' founded by Adam Lewis LaValley?

I believe, they are a brilliant group of young anime artists, but there again I am privileged to have inside knowledge that their artwork recently captured the attention of an independent film maker. - Although, the offer had to be declined I believe he is still very supportive of the group.
