Is there anything in your life that you are very passionate about?
Definitely drawing, psychology, maths and science.
How long have you had this passion and what started it?
I started drawing at very young age. I was very good friends with my older cousin, she's a great artist, and it's partially because of her drawings that I got so motivated and interested to improve and become as good as her. She mainly draws animals and anthro figures, and even though I went a whole different way (manga), she was still a huge motivator to me.
I've just always been interested in the psyche and you know, the way the brain works and the way people think. I absolutely support the theory of Sigmund Freud, and it just always amazed me. I can't exactly remember when I started to have this interest, it just sort of occurred, maybe I read about something somewhere, I don't know. Also, my zodiac is a scorpio and they are known for being amazing psychologist or being involved in psychology in general lol, just something I thought was worth mentioning.
When I was young I despised maths. Well, it was only a subject of maths, namely calculus, in elementary school. I have ADD, which makes it extremely hard for me to concentrate or calculate things in my head, and it was absolute hell for me. My school was very controversial and the teachers picked on me and that made it even worse, obviously. When in highschool though, they drop calculus and start focussing on mathematics in general, and that really got me interested. Now, I absolutely love maths and it's one of my favourite subjects in school. It's interesting, and also gets me to my next interest, science.
I don't follow any scientific subjects in school, that bums me out, but my head teacher told me that a different course would just be better suited for me. Anyway, I've always been interested in the universe, the starts and planets, the chemical reactions regarding that, and everything else around science. I just started watching television programs about these kind of things, and I love the mathematical side of it as well, obviously haha.
Do you plan to pursue a career out of your passion?
I have absolutely no idea what I want to do when I finish school. I love drawing, but I just can't imagine how I would do something with that, I just can't visualize it. And as much as I love maths, I don't really want to become a mathematician, because most of the time that ends up as a teacher, which doesn't really appeal to me. And it's not like I can be a rocket scientist either, so maths is not an option. I was thinking about becoming a psychologist, but then when I think about drawing, I get the feeling that I'm not taking fully advantage of the 'talent', and that it would be a waste not to pursue that. And as for science, like I said, I don't follow any scientific object in school, so that is not really possible for me, but I don't really mind a lot.
