Hi Steemit! I’m Hong. This is my first post on Steemit, I'm so exciting. I am 19 years old. I am Thai.I’m currently a English student at the university in Bangkok. I chose to study in English major but actually I’m more interested in music, art and design.
I started to like music when I was 5 years old because my father is a music teacher and when I grow up I know my father was a musician, so I want to be a musician like my father. I started from singing in small church. And I became interested in musical instruments. So I began practicing guitar. I choose to play guitar because when I saw my father play guitar I feel he is very cool. I spent 2 years learning to play guitar. After that, I learned to play drums, piano and other musical instruments. I invited my friends to set up a band when I was 15, as I was a singer and play guitar. We have been playing music in various events. And we enjoyed it a lot. It was a very happy moment.
But when I graduated from high school, my mother doesn’t want me to study music or art, design. I was angry with her and I didn’t talk with her for several days. But I know my mother wish well to me, so I chose English major because I want to improve myself in the language and I don’t want to study math anymore ha ha.
After that, music and singing became my hobby. When I have free time, I usually record videos while I sing and play guitar. And I upload it in my Instagram. And sometimes I sing when I'm sad. Although it makes me sadder, But I like to do it ha ha ha.
Another thing I'm interested in is art. I love drawing and art since before I was interested in music. I can draw all day, it made me relax and forget about the strain. I was chosen as the person who painted the school shirt logo. I think drawing is what I do best in my life and that's what I'm most proud of, because I practiced it by myself. I never learned to draw. But when I was at university I didn’t draw so much because I didn’t have enough time to do it. When I look at my old drawings It made me think of those moments. And my friend also likes to hire me to draw a picture. It's a job I love ha ha. And this is some of my drawings

Finally!! Some people may sad because they don’t study what they love or good. But I think it is good to do what you love goes along with self-improvement. There will be times that I miss doing what I love the whole day. But seeing yourself develop is a good thing, right? Finally, I hope you will be happy with your life. And thank you for reading my post. Love you all ♥

Welcome to Steem @honghkd.

Do read A thumb rule for steemit minnows - 50:100:200:25 for starter tips.

Spend time reading Steem Blue Paper to know how Steem blockchain works and if you still have any queries ask them on our Ask me anything about Steemit post and we will try to answer that.

All the Best!!!

Hey @honghkd - Amazing artwork. I'm also new to Streem, as a new person, its nice to see other new people coming to the platform. It assures me that its not a place thats dead, but one that still captures peoples interest.

Welcome!

Hello Hong! I enjoyed reading your self introduction and impressed by your drawings. Indeed, you are good at it.

It is good that you understand your mother only wishes you well with the course that she wanted you to take. I have known people with different cases in terms of the courses they took. There were those who have taken what they think is what they wanted to do but ended up to be someone else. I also know people who claimed that they were forced to take a course they do not like but ended up enjoying it as their career. Lastly, there are also those who said they were forced to take a different course but were able to find a way and mix their course with what they love to do. I think you can do the last example and mix English with what you love to do.

English is an interntional language which will make you more marketable in the global workforce so that is to your own advantage. While you love arts like singing and drawing, you can utilize your English knowledge to compose songs or get an inspiration from for your drawings. English language and arts are not extreme strand of knowledge. Both are under Humanities so I am almost certain that you can find a common ground to practice them both.

Welcome to Steemit and good luck on your studies! 😊

Edit: Since I like your post, I featured it on my article Pay it forward: Learning what you do not like and making the most of what can still be as an entry to the Pay it Forward Curation Contest. This contest is open to everyone so you are also welcome to join.

Thank you for reading my post and good comment for me. I'm very exiting to be part of your article.
But I don't understand about Pay it Forward Curation Contest but I need to try!!

You're welcome. 😊

Do you already have some exact ideas what you are going to post about? Some art of yours? Or even some series of posts perhaps?
I've also just recently joined Steemit myself and I find the community to be really chill for the most part, however I guess you won't really be into the stuff I post about :) it's about gaming

Thank you for your interest in my post. I will do it better.

Welcome to Steem @honghkd. i hope you will do great here.

Thank you. I hope that too!!

Welcome to Steemit. This is a great community for those who get involved.
I think your artistic talent is wonderful! I also am a bit of a musician - I play piano, tin whistle, recorder - have played other instruments in the past, but my best instrument is always voice.

It is good to have English as a major - it will give you employment even when the art isn't selling. But don't give up on your dreams either! There are many times when I wish I had gone into music and drama instead of being "practical."

Great post - I found you from @macoolette's Pay-It-Forward entry.

Wow, I used to tried to play the tin whistle, but it too hard for me haha. Thank you for your good comment for me and thank you for your advice.

Welcome to steemit @honghkd :) I was a high school English and ESL teacher in Canada for many years, so I totally get what you're saying about math haha

Your art is beautiful! Here's a tip: for posts to be recognized as your own work, when you show photos of your art, include process photos too ... that way it "proves" that you did it :)

I found your post because @macoolette featured you in her Pay It Forward Curation contest entry; we'd love to have you join us with a post of your own next week ... it's a great way to start developing your own community here too :)

Thank you for your comment. If I draw another picture, I'll follow your tip. I don't know how to join it. But i will try!
