I remember since I was a kid I've always wanted to be an architect. I loved everything about architecture. Thourghout my young years I learned and practiced how to draw just to make sure i can make it in the field.  But nobody what I will be in for when I enter college and the journey beyond. I did not know about the upcoming sleepless nights, the harsh critque, and tideous work.  That is when I learned you can't just LOVE architecture, you have to  have a PASSION for it.  Love alone will not get you through the tough times. Love alone get you through the stress. love alone will not get through the harsh words of  a bad critique. You have to have the passion as well. The passion drives you to stay up an extra day to perfect your project and see the joy of creating the perfect design.
