Creativity and my sister

As i grew up and i begun to engage in different forms of self expression i realized how much creativity ran in my family. At the age of two my little sister had already begun to show signs of artistic abilities. She loved animals and to this day that's all she ever talks about. My sister has told us that she would loved to be many different things but they weren't too different from each other. Being a vet, an illustrator and a story book author. These three things are connected because they usually all involve animals. She would even go as far as to make puppet shows which involved some type of conflict between two different creatures. Her favorite animal is the wolf and any other creature that involves a dogs characteristics. I was never entirely sure as to what got my sister into story telling and drawing but her passion for it is just as strong, if not, stronger than my ambition when i was her age. I remember one day walking into her room and finding dozens of short stories with illustrations scattered all through out her room. I read a few of them and i realized the potential that she has to actually become a story writer. I told my sister that if this is what she loves to do, then she should pursue her dream without a doubt. With all the potential and wild imagination that my sister has, i would hate to see it all go to waste. I want to encourage my little sister to continue to strive for the best, and do what makes her happy.

I honestly can say that with the imagination that my sister posses, she can become a very good artist or story book writer if she wants to. All she needs is the encouragement of those close to her to keep her going. My sister can be a bit of a goof ball at times, but in the end that all just molds into who she is as a person. Her personality is expressed in everything she does from playing, drawing and writing. Her happy attitude is always shown in her work which in my opinion, is what makes it so great. Another thing that i realized is that a lot of her ideas are unique, some of which i would of never thought of such as, the penguin who learned to fly. her stories are usually very short, with vivid illustrations that she added for fun. I hope that in time, she will continue to strengthen her artistic abilities and create more pieces of work that will grab the attention of others.
