opportunity

i want to do many things. i want to learn many things. i want to improve my skill in arts. art school and learn techniques. culinary arts also. and i want to make pots and collect them as well. i love to be really good at painting. do free art. but the problem is the money. i'm in an average type of family, having an average lifestlye. problems come and go.. you know what i mean? and we are all three who are in college right now. i'm quite shy to ask my parents to ask money to them to enroll in an art school or do the things i want to do. that's why i thought, the lucky ones, the very wealthy people get the best opportunities in life. they can do and have anything. but why do most of them go to waste? i mean, most of them do drugs, etc. is that how people are, when they have everything? just wondering.
i realize that, we learn from out problems. we get determination or sometimes its where we get our dreams. its like, its a step to move forward and get to what and where we want.
