“They always say time changes
things, but you actually have
to change them yourself!”
- Andy Warhol
I picked this quote because not only is it true, but Andy Warhol has always been my favorite artist since high school. He is my role model in the art industry.

became a Super mom.
Photo by: Sarah Schlipp
How I became a super mom was in 2013, is how I learned how to manage so much in not much time. I have to learn a whole new schedule which is always changing,
but I still push myself to get where I want in life. I want to give my daughter a better future then what I had when growing up.

6. The journey
begins.

Being a single mom isn’t very simple or easy when going through so much at once. The journey began when I finally said goodbye to her father which is never easy on
kids she was very very young, but I had to be the protector. So after struggling and still struggled I added on more to the plate then I should have, but at the same time I
wasn’t getting younger and it was now or never. These easter eggs that I decorated resemble to me as each thing I have on my plate that I juggle around every day.

7. Who I am!

I was a full time college student at full sail university for graphic design. I struggle to get there and struggle to finish and to accomplish my 18 year old goal.

Housewife.

I am a housewife even though I am a single parent, but I do a lot around the house for my daughter and my mom which makes me a housewife. I cook, I clean, I garden,
and I bake. I can do anything if I put my mind to it.

11. I’m a Gardener
Photo By: Sarah Schlipp
I have always been one to go outside and enjoy nature and learn more about being a parent and teacher to my daughter. So I plant flowers and plant vegetables so I can
teach my daughter how they grow and how to pull weeds.

12. I am an artist and a
Designer!

I love art and designing things. I always have while growing up it has always been apart of me, but took me so long to realize that this is my heart and soul.

13. I am also a photographer!
Photos by: Sarah Schlipp
I am a photographer, anything that looks interesting I will take a picture of or if something I do with food and it looks like that is a photo moment I’ll take a quick snap
before I get back to cooking. The moment has to be there and the feeling for me to snap a picture.

14. Art is the
passion that I
strive for.

Feeling an image is through emotions, is what I enjoy to capture for others to see.

15. My childhood was
about art and
using my
imagination!
Photos by: Sarah Schlipp
While growing up I tend to myself I really didn’t have too much of a childhood except drawing and using my imagination, but a lot of my family members wanted me to
grow up faster and no be my age. So art expresses who I am and the love I have for art.

16. I also help
support fund
raisers like
ALS!
Photo By: Sarah Schlipp
I did a mile walk to help raise money for people who have ALS. I have met a football player who had to stop playing football because he was diagnose with ALS. That
year I never knew what it was until one of my own family members ended up being diagnosed. So I took pictures of the group that I was supporting.

17. My goals of
things that I
am good at!
Photo by: Sarah Schlipp
Goals that I am good at are I capture moments that are there. I tell me story threw my art and the use of color or the lack of color. My emotions get put into my art and I
am very passionate about what I do and how I do it. I love to learn even if I am under pressure that is what makes me push through it all.

18. Crafts!

This is something I saw posted on Pintrest and thought I would give it a try. Not very simple, but it was fun making something for my daughter so when she grows up she
can see how much I love everything that has to do with art.

19. Illustrator!

This was an assignment for a class I took at Full Sail University.

20. Photoshop!
Photo/Art By: Sarah Schlipp
Another assignment for a movie poster that we had to pick. This was my childhood movie so there was no doubt I wasn’t going to pick this one because this is my
favorite movie as well it looked difficult to do and I take challenges.

21. My free time.

I have some free times on weekends where I have a babysitter (my mom), so I can enjoy my free time with friends.

22. Hanging with
friends that I
love.

I like to hang out with friends because I normally never have time for people. So I make time on weekends to spend it with friends or family.

23. I love to learn and to
keep learning!
Photo by: Sarah Schlipp
Learning is something we all do some learn faster some learn slower. I am a mix if I learn faster is because I already know how to do it and just getting a little over view
on it. I learn slower when something I don’t know too much about, but done a little of it.

24. What pushes me to
keep going is my
daughter!
Photo by: Sarah Schlipp
I’ve always wanted to go to college and always ended up dropping out because nothing I picked suited me. There was no spark of passion for the course’s I chosen. I
finally found that at Full Sail University took me two years to get in, but after having my daughter I realized its now or never so I went for her and she is what gets me to
keep pushing myself to better myself and our future.

25. I am strong and
competitive!
Photo by: Sarah Schlipp
I am a very strong person I have been through so much my whole life and I keep getting stronger the older I get. I can be very competitive when I know something that I
am passionate about I will not give up until I win!

26. I’m a hard worker and I
never give up!
Photo by: Sarah Schlipp
I am and will always be a harder worker no matter what. I strive for knowledge and learning. I have notes around my house that has: NEVER GIVE UP! that is my other
go to medicine to help me keep pushing as well.

27. No matter the circumstances that you
may be going through, just punch through
it.
