Go Tokyo Your Experience
Everyone has had dreams when they were young, but the path to realizing them is often full of challenges. Recently, a netizen shared a touching story on social media about their high school pursuit of a manga dream.
It is gratifying that on his path of pursuing his dreams, his parents and teachers not only did not mock or suppress him, but also gave him great encouragement and support.
That was a difficult story for me to talk about. In high school, I openly stated at a parent teacher conference, ‘I want to become a cartoonist.’ Surprisingly, my parents and teachers did not reject me, but seriously asked, ‘Since I want to be a cartoonist, why haven’t I started creating yet? Let’s draw a work first!’
Under the supervision of his family, this netizen began his own creative journey. He recalled:At that time, while participating in club activities, I racked my brains to come up with a comic plot. Looking back now, the self who was desperately chasing his dreams was really amazing, and I really wanted to give him a hug
Interestingly, this netizen admitted that he was not serious enough at the beginning. Until one family meeting, the family seriously asked him:Where’s your manga? You didn’t even draw it! Tell me all your creative ideas
Helpless and forced, he hastily shared four story ideas. In order to avoid repeating such scenes in every family meeting, he finally made up his mind to create seriously.
In the end, he gathered the courage to submit his work to a well-known comic magazine.

Although his work did not pass the selection, this experience benefited him greatly.Thank you to my parents and teachers for their encouragement and supervision, which gave me the opportunity to fully pursue my dreams
This story has sparked a warm response on the internet, with many netizens expressing envy for the support he received from his family. Some netizens who have parents also expressed that they should take this as a lesson and become open-minded parents who know how to encourage their children to pursue their dreams.
What is even more reassuring is that this netizen did not give up on creation due to the initial failure. He persisted in drawing comics while continuing his studies at university.
I am very fortunate that I followed the advice and went to college at that time. It is these learning and work experiences that have shaped me into who I am today. After more than ten years of persistence, I can finally make a living by drawing comics
I am also very grateful. Although it is located in a super rural area, there is still a bookstore selling paper
This heartwarming story tells us:On the path of pursuing dreams, the support and understanding of family members are like a spring breeze, giving the seeds of dreams the opportunity to take root and sprout.
Even if the initial dream is not fully realized in the end, the growth and emotions gained during the pursuit of dreams are still precious treasures in life.
