I feel that my classmates are better than me.

I don't mean to sound like an emo, but I have a bad feeling that all of my classmates are artistically better than me. There are a lot of factors that make me think so. For my psychology project, we were required to make an essay and a piece of artwork about three emotions. I decided to do some abstract work about the emotions. I got my project back last week and when I got it back, my teacher spoke to me about how I did. All what I can say is, "At least I did well on the essay." I looked at my classmate's art and my jaw dropped after noticing how much better their's seemed to be more than mine.

And even today when I handed in my projects, I felt that everyone else was better than me. My skateboard design was a basic snake design with a gradient effect in the background. I thought it was really cool and I still do. And for my Moku toy, I knew I was handing in the right thing and I handed in something which I felt was a replica of my toy that I drew. It looked almost exactly like Moku when I drew him. When I looked at everyone else's toy and skateboard, I felt overwhelmed. The skateboard had wilder designs and the toys were bigger and more complex than mine. I am afraid that if I actually get into the industry of digital media arts, people won't hire me simply because "I'm not as good as everyone else." Which is one of the reasons why I considered switching back to my computer courses or transfer to a different course where I don't need to really worry about competition.

Fortunately, I am good in essays. I remember last year in Seneca, I took a course in Canadian Music and my professor sometimes told the class how important it is to have good essay writing skills, because a number of the classmates didn't really have the best skills. But I knew that I have good skills, because I got very good marks in my essays. I got B's and A's in my essays. What I can learn from this is that we all have our own strengths and weaknesses. I can understand this, but if I am not good at Digital Media Arts as everyone else, then finding employment may be very difficult.
