I am working towards becoming a veterinarian so I wanted to incorporate animals into my piece. My artist was wonderful and constructed such a beautiful sleeve for me.

What would you do with the $25,000?I would try to share this with my friends and family who also have wonderful artwork. If it is $25,000 in artwork I may do an arm piece in the future. If it is $25,000 cash I would use the money towards my education as I am currently applying to veterinary schools.
