Nature, buildings & life.
Since I was a kid, I've felt a deep connection with nature. I still remember the smell of the wet grass after the rain in the backyard of my childhood's home, how my cousins and I tried fishing in a little lake near and the countless pets we had. All that was when was under 11 and I lived in a little town in the south of Mexico where I born.
But things changed drastically in my life when my mother and I had to move far from home. I realized that life in the city is completely different. But it really help me to see life in a different point of view. When I was in high school, I felt interested in how city planning works and how the tall buildings could be constructed.
When I was 16, I was determined to study architecture, civil engineering or environmental engineering but choose one of them was really difficult for me but as some older people say "life takes you to the right place".
At 18 I had to move again to start my university life in Mexico City, the experience was sometimes difficult and hurtful but fun and powerful. And I learned not only the academic stuff but everything that help every day make a better version of myself.
Right now, I've already finish my career in Civil Engineering but I want to make a masters degree in Renewable energies, I have a nice job and I study English in ENALLT because I want to make an certification next year. I'm still following what I think is the best for our society, our planet and for me but I have to work really harder.

Move to another city can be an extraordinary experience, but also can be very uneasy let behind all the people you loved. However always can meet so other people, have new friends and acquires new experiences.

ResponderEliminarI think it's really powerfull your desire of helping our planet, it is something we have to pay attention immediatly. Your major is the way to it.
ResponderEliminarEvery change is hard to face, but at the end you always keep the good experiences.
It is great that despite the fact that your university life was sometimes difficult, you can see the things that you have learned and not only academically. Keep chasing the things that you want.
ResponderEliminarI think it's awesome how you could manage all that stuff, i mean, the way you used the new things that were in front of your eyes when you arrived, and how it change your way of think. i absolutelly agree in "life takes you to the right place", i really feel that.
ResponderEliminarChildhood experiences tend to define us in many ways.I grew up in a town too and the contrast to a city life is big and the change can really hurt .
ResponderEliminarSound like life really took you to the right place and now you have an Engineering degree and a good job, congratulations and good luck with taking the certification and your Masters.
I also share that connection with nature. Certainly and sadly in the city we lack of green areas, they are not well distributed , those spaces are very important for the well being of humans.
ResponderEliminarYour masters degree sounds very interesting, it will be a good combination.
We all need to change in order to safe the planet; it is awesome that someone is taking it seriously.
ResponderEliminarIt must have been really dificult to chango of enviroment, but I bet you wont regret it once you can the oportunity to do what you love for the rest of your life.
Keep up the good work!
This is one of the reasons why I enjoy what I do: as a teacher, you get so many people evolve and move on with their lives. Keep working on your improvement. It's a long process and only you can decide where it will take you.
