“What makes me the happiest in my day is getting to do what I like, like drawing and doing all my hobbies. I like to draw because it’s fun and I’m good at it. Drawing has helped me with stress in school because I really get to relax when I'm doing it and I don't really have to think about everything hard going on. And my favorite thing to draw would probably be people. I feel like I would mainly just draw at home because I feel most comfortable at home and I guess all my materials are there.

So if someone's really good with a pencil and paper then they should try drawing as a hobby.’’ – Naira Ali, 10
