In ancient times people used to struggle with several common tasks such as writing a message, storing data and making it available to one or several recipients in a way that it did not involve too many steps to make it possible to be sent. So as the time past human race looked for ways to facilitate all those procedures in a more effective and quicker way than before. And all that became possible once humans improved their technologies.

In my early years, I was completely illiterate regarding to electronic matter, I was a mere boy with no purposes to use those technologies, mainly because I was not aware of their existence. As I was growing and started my school courses, I was introduced to pc´s and then taught to use them first with puzzles and games designed for the PC mainly oriented to little children. Later when I enrolled to the junior high school I was taught how to use school programs, such as Microsoft Windows environment as well as its productivity software, because at that time the teachers already wanted students to be able to deliver their school assignments in a more formal way, instead of having them delivered in a handwritten form. Also during my junior high school stage, I was taught to search the web, event that helped me with my academic assignments at that moment. Furthermore, it allowed me later to communicate with people overseas, and at the same time to know more about other trends and cultures.

Nowadays, I am more literate concerning electronic technologies, it could be said that I am more involved on the matter. The electronic technologies besides making my current work more easier, has also allowed me to enhance my use and knowledge of the English language. Moreover taking English courses in the school, I feel that using electronic devices and surfing the web have made me improved my grammar as well as the acquisition of more vocabulary. But the latter had not only helped by improving my native and foreign language, it has also allowed me to facilitate daily tasks. The use of the current trends and technological advances have also made me capable to finish my work more quickly, as well as to communicate with anybody anywhere.

In the future I expect the technologies to suit me when it comes for me to teach, to provide me the tools to deliver a meaningful teaching, all that in the professional matter. In other issues I want to become able to manage all the upcoming technologies, as well as to become aware of the new technologies that facilitate my professional work as well as my leisure time.

To conclude I must say that as humanity evolves, the methods and ways to communicate also do. So no matter which language people speak there will be always a way to shape communication, all thanks to technology. So then humanity will not struggle as long as technology moves forward at the same time.

Introductory essay

I was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco on November 3rd 1988. I am the second of three children. I had my pre-academical studies there in Jalisco, and at the age of 7, I moved with my whole family to the state of Aguascalientes, once both of my parents finished with all working relation at that moment. So once I arrived to Aguascalientes, I continued with my studies and my life until nowadays.

I began my life being a happy little boy with lots of wishes and goals, willing to become someone in life. Later on, I enrolled to the elementary school as many of the children of the age, where I had my first contact with education, where I soon realized that I really liked to study even if it was hard. Besides studying during my childhood stage; I attended to events such as my mother and father´s sibling’s weddings and my first communion when I turned 10. Also during my childhood years, I had too many accidents, the ones that I remember the most, were the ones caused by my reckless actions that as any boy used to commit at that age. One of those were when I split my head open, once in the front side and one in the back side. The first one occurred while I was staying at my aunt´s house; I was playing indoor football with my cousins and suddenly I stumbled with a misplaced rug and fell down onto a sharp edge end of one of the living room furniture. The second one happened at a waterpark, when I was coming out from the pool I tripped, fell backwards and cracked my head open right in the nape. Also during this step, I travelled lots of times; I travelled mainly to national beaches like Acapulco, Manzanillo, and Puerto Vallarta. So to summarize I had a happy childhood indeed.

Nowadays in this step of my life I had faced the most disappointing moment, which was my retreat from my first major, an engineering focused on computer software development, the BA was actually named as Computer Science Major. I drop out of that major because my knowledge on the matter was not enough for me to fit with what the career really demanded, so I struggled with several subjects because I was not enough prepared to study them. Once I passed through that bitter moment of my life, I retried again for another major, which had no business with the previous one, because in that particular case, the major chosen was mainly focused on English teaching as a second language, a choice that was deeply far from what I had chosen before. I am currently taking this major which is actually known as ELT, A major which I had coursed by a year and a half, and I had come to develop a like for it. Moreover my current studies, I had been practicing a new sport known as Parkour by some ones, and known as Free running by other. It is a sport pretty different and more complete than the ones known by me, so that is why I had kept practicing it until now. I had had also among my present activities, a freelance job doing pc maintenance. And as far as I know my life remains the same until now.

What I hope for the future is concentrated on several goals. On one hand to be successful with the professional matter and all the things that come with, such as being a good English teacher, a translator or an interpreter; but that will only be possible if I work hard and try to be the best. On the other hand, to focus on my personal life; to find someone to spend my life with and to possibly shape a family. But as many people say: "No one is owner of its own destiny". So I do not know what might the future would have for me.

So to conclude I must say that if someone is expecting to fulfill his / her goals, in this case I have to make an enormous effort and never give up. The person has to see back and realize what factors made him/ her the person who is nowadays, in order to be able to discern what they are capable of, and then become able to reach his or her own objectives.
