I was always always TERRIBLE at school... and I was constantly drawing in the corner of my classes. 😅
Being a immigrant kid to Korean parents, college was non negotiable even though my grades were all over the place. So! I went to the state college with a degree in art.
I always felt more accepted in creative / artist communities and always felt out of place with people who were more linear.
So one part: I didn't have a choice
Second part: I prefer artistic people and groups :)
How about you?
