I'm 18 years old, and I guess I'm not exactly ordinary. I've always been the one who walks into a room and everyone notices right away—not because I'm loud or bright, but because there's something unusual about me. I'm interested in a lot of things: for example, I like to paint with watercolors, but not ordinary landscapes or portraits. I depict abstract shapes, trying to convey emotions that are difficult to express in words. I can spend hours working with colors, combining them so that they "speak" on the canvas. I also love hiking in the woods and night stargazing. Every time I lie on the grass, look up at the sky and feel the world around me quiet down, I think that life is beautiful in its infinity. The stars always inspire me to dream. One day I dream of building my own art center where artists, musicians and writers will gather. A place where everyone can create something truly unique, without fear of being misunderstood.
