My list consisted of the obvious; sports stars, influencers, celebrities, movie stars, youtubers and so on.\u00a0 But I soon realised I didn\u2019t want to draw any of these people, I didn\u2019t want to be just another \u2018fan\u2019.\u00a0 So I began to look on a smaller scale.\u00a0 Who do <em>I <\/em>know that inspires me? Initially a few people came to mind, Mum, Dad, coaches and teachers.\u00a0 But then I looked towards my grandparents, so I flipped a coin.\u00a0 My grandma.\u00a0 That\u2019s what the coin decided.\u00a0 I realised, how much I learn from these people and how much they have influenced my life.\u00a0 My grandparents inspire me to become as caring and loving as they have been for me throughout my life and being the glue of the whole family.\u00a0 When I become older and begin a family of my own, I hope to become as great of a grandparent as mine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-boarding-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2020\/03\/IMG_9552-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2020\/03\/IMG_9552-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2020\/03\/IMG_9552-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2020\/03\/IMG_9552-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the beginning of the term in Art, we began talking over the project that we would work on in the following weeks, a charcoal portrait.\u00a0 After establishing the topic and what we would be doing, it then came time to decide who to draw.\u00a0 My art teacher asked us to write down a list [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3585,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","article_category":[],"article_tag":[12],"class_list":["post-3521","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","article_tag-robson-house"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-boarding-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article\/3521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-boarding-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-boarding-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/article"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-boarding-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3521"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-boarding-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-boarding-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-boarding-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_category?post=3521"},{"taxonomy":"article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thebuzz.net.au\/shore-boarding-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_tag?post=3521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
