    This photograph belongs to my last belt change (green belt). This moment was very important for my career as a martial artist, after the ceremony many things changed at school. They weren’t teaching me anything new, but the teacher humiliated me in front of everyone when I didn’t remember any concept. Two months passed and I didn’t feel comfortable in school, I stopped going to class for two weeks to reflect about that. When I returned to class my teacher told me "I resent your presence", those words hurt me a lot since I considered him as my father. At that time I stopped going to that school definitively and I looked for other alternatives to continue learning. Luckily at that time one of my best friends had opened his little "American Kenpo Karate" school and he continued to teach me. To go to that school I had to travel by subway for hours but they were worth it. Regarding my previous school the teacher told all the students that I was a traitor, I learn...

My favorite technology is the Playstation 2, because  since childhood I play with that videogame with my friends and family.  In my free times  use Playstation 2 to distract me, it’s been a great tool to overcome my anxiety in this pandemic. I’ve had this videogame console since I was 5 and it still works perfectly. It brings back hundreds of memories of me playing with my best friends. I recommend using this video game console with fighting games to enjoy with friends, this console was released 20 years ago and still is the best there is. If you have the possibility of acquiring it, do it, you will not regret it. PD: my favorite games are Dragon Ball Z budokai tenkaichi 3, God of war 1 - 2, The simpson hit and run, GTA San andreas and mortal kombat shaolin monks.

 When I was a child, I dreamed of being a professional cartoonist, but my family did not support me since there are no stable jobs. However, I took many courses in drawing and animation to learn the craft in some way. Animation was the first step to studying film, I learned a lot about compositions, plans, editing, etc. At the moment, I study something that I love and enjoy a lot, but in this context it is difficult to do a better job because of our limitations. However, I think it has helped us to learn to make the most of the few resources we have, both creative and technological. My first goal as a film student is to make a movie soon. some drawings I’ve made.
