I want to be an artist... there I said it!!!

I remember attending my pre-school graduation, and they asked me what I want to be when I grow up. I had recently found out that you can make a career from drawing, and it was called an Artists. I was really good at it too. They had asked all the other kids, and i was the second last one asked, and I just kept quiet because I didn't want to say Nurse, police lady, doctor, teacher. I just wanted to be an artist. At the time I thought people would think that it was a wack career so I just didn't answer. My mom was so annoyed.
