Swimming, Watching Movies & Cartoons, Video Games, Learning History, Music, and Reading Manga

As a kid who grew up on pop-culture, media, and art: watching movies, cartoons, doing outdoor activities (not so much anymore), playing video games, listening to songs/music (ex: rock, disco, country music, classical music, swing, & soul) and reading manga shaped my personality to become who I am today. Art has always become a hobby, not as a career which over the years I've changed different courses to meet my career path, but all of them ceased to fail my interest. For years of searching I've always discovered that doing all these hobbies and being happy made me realized that I wanted to be a cartoonist. Swimming helped shape my mentality and physique. Gaming help me connect with others, gaining friends and experiencing fun ways to understand one another. Drawing paved me a path to be creative and free including drawing experience to help prepare for other challenges. Learning history by watching documentary and reading text books was interesting and helps me learn about the past and human politics. Finally, reading manga is my best hobby out of the rest because it's relaxing to enjoy both the story and the art which helps me navigate through the panels in an interesting way which influence me to write and adapt my story and building my own original character and world. Everything I've listed are exactly what kids, teens, young adults do for fun and all of them inspired me to become a cartoonist to write detailed, fun, inspirational moments of my childhood and expressing my ideas and inspiring others to work hard and be happy.
