Dear Sidney:
Where are you now? Are you where I wanted you to be at your age? I have no reason to believe that what you have been through getting where you are at now was anything less than impossible for you. I know how difficult motivation can be for you. Keep pushing onward though since I know you have it in you. Practice until your hands hurt so that you may possibly attend an art school if that is still what you so wish. Study until you have memorized the information so thoroughly you could teach your own professor.
The vast amount of possibilities that are open to you may be terrifying, but you must forge forward and blaze trails that you never would have imagined yourself creating. The fear you feel must be taken in stride. Do not look back in life and wish you would have straightened your back and walked forward. There is every reason for your goals to elude you, but I believe that the achievement of accomplishing those goals outweigh the horrifying possibility of leading an average life.
Art school will lead you nowhere, you will never make it through college, if you do make it through college there will be no jobs for you to have, your student loans will not be paid off until you reach the end of your life, and going to college will ultimately ruin you. Who are they to tell you that no matter which direction you take your life in that it will end in disaster? It is your life and you may do what you wish. Put yourself through these challenges now and you will be more content later on in life. Choose your path wisely as the paths are just truly beginning to open for you.
Yours sincerely,
Sidney Handyside
