from secondary school to college, lam had a very simple aim which was to study the subject that interested him most. but when he was filling out his application forms for college and choosing art as his major, his family suggested that he should take other majors like architecture because it also involved some art. lam attempted to tell his family many times that it was not like that, but his family would not accept it. one day, lam got so mad that he walked away. lam knew that what interested him could only be found in art, so he chose to study art. his family was worried about how hard it is to earn a living as an artist, but lam still decided to study the subject that engaged him most. therefore, he chose the fine art department.
