Student essay written in en (native language: French, CEFR level: B2, field of study: Arts)

As long as I remember, I’ve always wanted to be a illustrator and an author. Writing books and comics… That’s why I decided to take a degree in fine art. I wasn’t accepted to the dnmade (I tried twice) so I went to Rennes 2.
After the licence / degree ? I’d like to continue with a master’s degree in illustration or comic. In order to receive advices from professionals, and to meet people of this sector.
You might ask why I want to be an illustrator in the first place, well I want my stories and my characters to inspire people and make them feel better the same way the stories I’ve been reading made me happy.
The main inspiration of this project is my whole life. My characters are inspired by what I saw, read, exprecienced… 
Also for a long time my biggest inspiration was Alex Dupont, she began with nothing, made an incredible story with great characters, she’s feminist… However I no longer admire her nor want to become like her since she had some transphobic discourses….
I was devasted when I heard about it, but now it’s another motivation. I want my stories to inspire people, and be a safe place for everyone.
