[00:00:02.686]What I love about the arts is
[00:00:03.910]I get to create, I get to design.
[00:00:06.418]I get to create whatever it is that feels good to me.
[00:00:10.870]My name is Jamaica.
[00:00:12.010]I'm a fine arts student at the University of Nebraska.
[00:00:14.253]Whenever I wanna take a break from art,
[00:00:17.655]I'll either go and skateboard
[00:00:18.975]or I'll go and shoot some hoops.
[00:00:20.722]Whenever you have a challenge, you gotta push past it.
[00:00:23.727]Defend your art just like you defend your goal.
[00:00:28.924]I have a message that needs to be shared
[00:00:30.789]and I feel like each artist has that.
[00:00:33.724]Maybe some people will connect with it,
[00:00:35.406]some people won't.
[00:00:36.729]Art has that ability to bring people together.
[00:00:41.151]I mean I've always kind of had that in mind
[00:00:42.814]that I wanted to be an artist
[00:00:44.284]never thought it was a realistic career
[00:00:46.525]until my professor recognized my work.
[00:00:48.856]She submitted my work, not me
[00:00:51.016]cause I was too scared to.
[00:00:52.749]I didn't think that it was gonna be something
[00:00:54.730]that was going to be valued
[00:00:56.067]and that just meant the world to me.
[00:00:59.512]That is when I knew I could do this for a living.
[00:01:02.978]♫ See the silver lining
[00:01:05.338]♫ Between the skies
