1) I come from a world where most of the time dreams never come true. It doesn’t matter how much you fight for them, they just keep running away. When I was in college, in my country (Cuba), I was filling a paper like this one telling what I wanted to study as a major. At that moment all I wanted to be was a Designer. I still remember that day perfectly, it was raining a lot, and the restless wind start to get inside the classroom making that unique noise of horror movies. Our professor was sitting in his desk waiting patiently for us to finish our assignment. While we were working on it he stand up and said: “remember that everything you want to be it’s going to change the way you live and the things you like”. I didn’t understood what he was talking about, but now I do. Two years later I was almost done with school. I was happy, dreaming of working at the Industrial Design Building. Then a professor comes to me and says: I’m sorry but there’s no more space in the building. And I asked in a sad tone: Why? ...

Here I have the opportunity to start a new life were everything is possible, I just have to keep fighting, because people that refuse to get nothing but the best, they often get it. Back in my country, family and friends was all that matters. They are the ones that make life so much better; they were always there for me, in the good times and in the bad ones. The school was that place where people of different cultures and religions where united in a wonderful group call students. All this has made me who I am at this moment; a person that never surrenders. And even though I regret some things, I’m happy that they happened that way, because I learned from them that life is all about loving and never giving up. Also I learned that everything happens for a reason,
