I. Introduction Attention Getter: " First I dream my paintings then I paint my dreams" Van Gough Reason to listen: What makes an individual unique is their passions. Painting has been one of my passions since I could hold a paint brush. Even though I am not great at painting‚ it still is apart of who I am.
