Guidance for the junior years: 

Art along with different activities is one of the best ways to express yourself and your emotions. You don’t need to a professional artist or being good at art to do it. You should take your Pen/pencil/Brush/knife in hand to express yourself without thinking how people will react to it. Every artform and every single art is different, unique and special as it contains your emotional state from the time when it was drawn.
Also keep your surroundings clean and as much Environment Friendly as possible. Every single Step you take no matter how small affects the whole world, don’t ever forget it.
