Entry 13: Influential Person

Before I moved back to Taiwan I had no idea what I was interested in and I had even less clue as to what my future is going to be. I was always the kind of person who followed whatever my friends did. What ever I was interested in was because someone else told me it was interesting and never because I found out myself. The only things that I found interesting myself were video games, but so was everyone else. I wanted to be unique but couldn't. However when I moved back to Taiwan a person changed the way I acted and helped me find my interests. That person was my art teacher. He was a very interesting person himself and always encouraging me no matter what I chose to do. In his class I learned to open up to people, to make more friends, to not be afraid of being different. To be different is to be unique and he was the one who opened it up for me. I found my interests in art, a path where I can express myself freely and openly. I no longer had to hold back the things I wanted to do.
