A growing experince

I can't belief this semester is almost over!!! when did this happen?! It's been a CRAZY semester. Lots busy, stressful moments which means lots of growing moments. I'm very grateful for this semester. I've been working on my portfolio as I've been in school and it's been very hard to do both things at the same time. I've spent LOTS of hours on one art piece and I feel like I work so slow but in reality things just take time. I've had lots of moments when I didn't know what else to do, but moments of inspiration will always come at some point. I'm been very grateful for one special professor who has been helping me this semester. I cannot even express how grateful I am for Boston. She's my Character Design professor and she just loves teaching and helping her students. Her class goes till 10pm and she would stay after class to just look over my progress and help me see how I can improve it. I really appreciate her staying extra time to just  talk to me. Also, she has to drive all the way to Salt Lake because that's where she lives. She's a great example to me. I just wanted to talk a little bit about her because she's change my life. I'm not talking just about helping me have a better portfolio, but about serving others and loving it. I can tell how excited she gets when she gets to help. She doesn't have to tell me how happy she is, I can just tell. I want to help others and do it because I love that person, even if I don't know that person very well. Going along with service, yesterday another art professor told us that art can become a selfish career and we should never let that happen. He explained that as artists we are trying to become better and better every time. He said that when we find ourselves thinking about ourselves and our talents and how to become better artist, we need to stop and think of others. He explained that we should use our talents to help others. Service is just so great! It brings blessings to our lives and to those we serve.
I usually don't post stuff online but I decided to post this piece that I've done in my character design class. I'm still working on it but I'm almost done :) Thanks Boston for all the things that you have taught me!
