Thank you @alejos7ven for creating this amazing contest

How I got into my profession

I got into my profession at a young age, I started to experiment drawing pictures and making animations on paint. First at 12 years old wanting to experiment and draw I would go and draw cartoon characters trying to make them as good as possible. At this time I would probubly spend like half an hour before I got bored from it and I would stop, later I started to think and visualize on what would be interesting to do and I started to do some experiments as usual practicing and trying to recreate my thoughts on the screen. For me it seemed as fun even tho I would not succeed at it all the time I would still try every day and I would repeat this process for a long time spending around 2 hours just drawing in microsoft paint. When I was 15 I started to think about my own business, I wanted to create something big, something that is lifechanging for everyone. I started to work on it and not waste any time, I would work every day and every free moment I had I would put it towards this business and this idea that was only in my mind and almost no one belived me when I told them about it. But deep inside me I knew that it is possible so I created a logo for this company that I will soon register, then I remembered that I would need some advertizment so I got back to work and in 1 month I created an awsome advertizment for it, in the process of doing all this work I became better and better graphic designer, I learned about a lot of different aplications and softwares that allowed me to create even better designs. Some time later my gym needed some designs for their T-shirts so I got in to action right away and created their official T-shirts. That got me some reputation as a young designer and people started calling me when they needed some designs done. This is where I started to charge for my work, untill that point I never earned anything from my designs even from designing the gym T-shirts. I got so busy with offers that people started to offer me money and leaving me tips for my designs and that is why I didn't wanted them to feel like some pay more then others and some dont even pay becouse it was unbalanced so I put 1 standard price for designs and people loved it. I also want to mention that I never went to school for designing or art it was all my own wish to do and I learned from actual artists and designers in my area and from the internet. Today I earn more then an average paycheck in my country, I am in process of designing a video advertizment for my gym (the same gym I designed the T-shirts for) and I am very close to openning my very first business and all of that while being 17 years old. I am sure that my career is just starting and the best is yet to come.
