“Are you an
Art major?” asked the
Professor teaching the Art Appreciation class.
Surprised, Elizabeth shook her head.
“Pre-med.”
“Well, you should be,” she said, as she
stood before the self-portrait Elizabeth had
done for an assignment in her class.
Elizabeth was going to become a doctor.
It was a goal she could certainly achieve. She
was a good student, and she loved science.
But in the quiet recesses of her mind,
Elizabeth remembered telling her parents as
a child that she wanted to grow up and be an
artist.
