It is not always great to take the safe path. You should take risks and not suffer. I love the fact that she followed her dream and it did not matter to her what other people told her, well later on in her life. \"there is no joy taking the safety path\" that is so true because you don\'t have fun without making mistakes. It took her a while to take the path that she is on, once her mother past she changed her path. Her mom didn\'t accomplish her dream so Cheryl didn\'t want to go without making the right decisions.

She is a amazing artist. She showed me that it is never to late to follow your dreams. You should find something that you love. I can\'t imagine her being in real estate but I can imagine being a artist.

Cheryl Foster is a strong willed woman. She had to go through so many obstacles just to reach her career goal. This video was impressing because she never gave up on finding what her dream was but what hit me the hardest was when she was discussing the passing of her mom. I can relate because I lost my mom a few years ago and I know what it\'s like to appreciate the small things in life. It\'s a big change to go through but it exposes a new way of life. However, it\'s up to you to want to make the change.

I am truly and utterly impressed at Ms. Cheryl\'s account of her story about the roads she took to achieve this destination of her career. It really speaks true volumes about the reoccuring theme that is happening with people when choosing their endeavors. In relation to Ms. Cheryl, she is absolutely right that the education was a sure thing and Art was not. There are always jobs available everywhre as a teacher, therfore making that the \"safer\" path as opposed to Art, it\'s much more intricate and dispersed in where you will find opportunites to explore, to utilize your talents. I am glad though that she adressed this issue because it\'s much better to take yourself out of your comfort zone and get out there, try something that stimulates your senses, awakens you, intrigues you. If she had chosen what everybody else wanted for her, she would be in a sense conforming to societal norms and not doing what is best for her. She would be dragging herself through life, instead of really living it. Instead she chose to do what she always loved and that\'s going to pay off in all spheres of her life, not just money and outward acceptance.

Cheryl Foster is someone i could really connect to just her artwork alone is amazing and shes a kindhearted down to earth women. After her mother passing that just made her an even stronger person because she did lose her bestfriend but that gained her more perserverance and made her artwork even better then when she first started.

Hearing Cheryl Foster\'s story left a huge impression on me. She was discouraged from doing what she loved and because of that lived a large part of her life unhappy. When her mother died, she realized that she didn\'t want to take it anymore and just did what she loved doing and is happier than ever.

Cheryl Foster is someone you can look up to. I look up to her because she is doing what she loves even though people tried to put her down and tell her that she couldn\'t make a career out of that. People were disappointed that she wanted to be an artist because they thought she couldn\'t go very far with that. She spent much of her life doing a job that she didn\'t even like because of this. She just did it because it payed the bills. She took a risk by sticking with what she loved in the end and it all paid off. She is happy in life because she took a risk and playing it safe isn\'t part of the way she lives. I think everyone can learn from Cheryl\'s experience.

Mrs. Cheryl Foster impressed me in so many ways. She spent 20 years of her life being a real state appraiser, and she dramatically suffered because of it. Pressures of her family drove her to choose this. She has always loved art ever since she was a little kid. Art has always given her happiness. She finally chose to do what she loves and realized a revelation when her mother died. Because of this, she decided to be an artist and now she is happy with her life. I think that\'s the greatest thing a person can gain through her job.

Cheryl Foster giving me an amazing speech. She\'s inspire me by her voice and her story, like she said when people told her to quit being an artist and become a teach to get education but she\'s stood up and just do what she wants to do. She was suffur, I understand that but she stands up and become what she wants to become and ignore what people telling her and that really inspire me. I SUFFER QUITELY!!! Sometimes all I gotta do is turn around telling the world just watch me and I\'ll prove to you that I will become what I want to be.

Cheryl is now one of the people who have inspired me when it comes to my future. Sometimes, playing it safe isn\'t always the best option because most of the time you aren\'t happy with where you are in life if you were to play it safe. It can only get you so far in life, because it is YOU who is suffering here, not anyone else.

It\'s a relief knowing that there is no rush in finding your passion. It might take months or even years to figure it out, but it doesn\'t matter. Once you find your passion, it will be worth it.

I like how she says that now that she is doing what makes her life worth while she could not work in a day to day boring job ever again. She has her life and she has her children and she is the happiest she has ever been. She is doing what she wants while she still has her health and life.

I really liked how she turned her life around. Being safe and doing all the right can only take you so far in life. It makes you feel like a zombie. Like you are only doing the bare minimum to get by. If you do that your whole entire life then by the end you realize that you have wasted your time on pointless things. It would be awful to realize you are dissapointed in every choice you\'ve ever made because you\'ve never taken a risk and done what you\'ve really wanted to do.

I think that it is intersting to hear a story of how Foster went from real estate agent to artist. She said herself, she didn\'t want to suffer anymore so she took her love of art and turned it into a career that made her happy. I like what she says at the end of the video about how everyone has their own idea of happiness even though it may seem strange and different to others.

cherelin was very inspiring for me , like her i have my family members telling me that art is a hobby not a career so i shut it away as such , but it eats me up inside every time i know i had a chance to create art and instead i was doing something that wont even apply to me in the feauture

every day I wake up I\'m taking a risk. A risk of failure. But sometimes it\'s that fear that spurs you on and beyond.

Cheryl put into words what I have been going through since my 40th birthday. I am so inspired by her. She has given me hope that there is a point to my boat rocking. Thank you for this interview.
