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.
