We had this conversation a few years ago and I think about it still.

Gabby is like my older sister/yoda like figure. Anything I’m dealing with she always gives advice that, actually helps shifts my perspective? We became close two years ago when we were both going through some stuff, and became even closer as we moved past our troubles.

Hey,thank you so much! and god- there is a lack of middle easterners in animation, its pretty sad. 

It was definitely the same!! My parents wanted me to go into computer science- they were adamant when I first told them that I would only be able to do anything art related as a minor. It was difficult, but the key is persistence and hard work.I looked up schools with credentials and tried super hard to get in. I hyped it up a lot just so they have less anxiety about me finding work. Spent most of my time drawing and improving instead of socializing at school. It wasn’t particularly healthy but it was a short term thing that helped broaden my prospects long term-and I don’t regret it. They loosened up the more they understood what animation entails and realized how serious I was about it. So research where you want to go and keep your parents in the loop every step of the way.It’ll hopefully wear them down.
