The first day of art class brought us more than just a lesson on how to work with pencils and paper, but an opportunity to create something that would last a lifetime. It did not take us long to realize that the real work of art was the love and happiness we would forge through years of lessons and experiences. After getting to know each other in class we quickly began hanging out after school hours on the soccer field where we learned the competitive and sometimes down right ugly side of each other. It laid the foundation for what became a beautiful story that if drawn by a real artist, would be a priceless piece forever treasured by millions of people.
