J-Tery's Bio: 
My name is J-Tery. I’m 38 years of, born in Chuuk F.S.M. Raised there for 6 years and moved to Guam USA and grew up there for the rest of my grade school years. I follow 2 older brothers and a sister, the rest of my siblings are younger than me. I grew up in a big family, well-mannered and polite mainly because of our religious beliefs. One of my older brothers has a naturally gifted talent in drawing. He drew amazing pictures out of his mind that’s well advanced for his age. I believe he was 10 when he started drawing amazing pictures that looked 3D and I was impressed and every time I see his drawing, I would wish that I could draw like he does. So, I started by tracing over his art which would always make him so upset but still did not quit drawing and I didn’t quit tracing either.
 
I would spend most of my days practicing to draw . Then in 7th grade there was an art contest. The topic was something of unity and I was blessed with second pick for $75.00 for the art that I drew and this was an Interscholastic art contest in Guam and I also won first pick for $100 for a cultural art contest.  I took advance art in 8th grade, handicraft and carving. I love to sing although I am not blessed with the talent to play any musical instrument. I am still blessed with the ability to draw. Drawing also sooths the soul and I believe this because when I draw, I forget my pain.
