The reason why I choose the theme of domestic violence and children’s parents divorcing at a young age, is because it is a problem that is happening behind closed doors. I have seen it firsthand, when some of my friends shared it with the class in my 5th grade year, and everyone got very emotional. They got a lot of love and support from the class. Children shouldn’t have to experience something like this at a young age, which can lead to scarring emotional and mental problems when they become adults. The parents can pass bad habits down to their children, and so on. The scene I drew is about a poor family that has an abusive father. Year after year they were behind on bills. One night the father decided to injure and degrade the mother. The daughters took a brave step and decided that enough was enough. They called the police and eventually he was arrested. I included the police, because in my opinion, their service is not appreciated enough because of political issues and other controversy in the U.S. Ever since the father’s arrest, the family has been living happier than ever, exploring new opportunities. When there is a problem, it is better to cease it than to set it aside and wait for someone else to solve it.

“Chance”. All it takes is one second to give a person a chance at a future or improve your own.
