My Mindmap.

This is the very first mind map I have ever made.  As long as I can remember I have been doing some form of art.  My interest was finally able to shine through when I began working at the age of sixteen and had money to spend on myself. I started with embroidery and over the years have done many other disciplines.

I when to art classes and art weekends but I still felt these were not fulfilling what I wanted from art. In 2010 as my last child left secondary school I decided it was time for me to make some plans for my future so I enroled with GTI to do a portfolio course. From there I got into GMIT but due to financial diffculties I had to defer it for a year. 

I have now started my first year in Art and Design and even thought it is going to be quite hard for me to start studying again after thirty six years I intend to try my very best and hopefully be one step closer to my dream of a craft shop on the south west coast of Cork or Kerry by the end of my college years.
