The life I couldn't erase.

My art teacher once told me that when you draw something you put in a lot of effort, you give it your best. You give it a part of who you are. You amend it, play around with it because its your picture. You add color to it in whatever medium you like. You shade it and blend abstract. Change reality. Create something new. Discover and explore your imagination. But you cant erase it. So he'd never let us use an eraser in his class. All the drawings he accepted were the ones we only had one go at. Things couldn't be scribbled at cause art work was supposed to be pretty. So we had our mistakes put out on display on each final draft. We learnt to be more careful. Some kids thought it was a pathetic idea but I threw away all of my erasers.
