In this photo I was 2 years old and I was on the beach with my mother and my mother's family. I think we were in Cartagena, in the Fifth Region. I remember sitting in the sand, trying to put on sunglasses that were obviously too big for me. Every time I see photos of that beach, I remember a lot of my grandparents because, since I was very little, we always went to that place together. My grandmother prepared delicious food to take away and my grandfather took me for a walk along the seashore. Although I was very small, those moments remained etched in my memory. The beach in Cartagena always makes me think of them and how happy I felt every time we were there.   In this photo I was 18 years old and I was with my friends from university: Fer, Toto, Nacha, Sofi and Maxi. We had finished our first year of university and this photo is from the day we presented our clothing show, which was the final project of the semester. That year was incredible, I think the best I've had so fa...

 This semester has been quite intense, with ups and downs. My favourite class is computational tools because it focusses more on what I like: graphic design. I always learn something new that interests me, and it makes me super entertaining. In addition, the teacher is very friendly and flexible, which makes it even better. I feel like I'm making a lot of progress in this area, and that motivates me. On the other hand, I have not enjoyed the class of processes and prototypes. He focusses a lot on industrial design, which I don't like at all. I don't get along with the tools, and the jobs have been complicated because I feel like I don't have the necessary skills. I don't like the transversal class either, because I'm alone, without my friends, and most of my classmates are from other careers, which makes it uncomfortable. I don't have a very strict weekly plan, but I try to advance as much as possible during classes so as not to leave everything at the end. ...

A teacher that I remember a lot about school is Professor Paola. She taught me math, but she also taught in the computational thinking elective. In this elective, he taught me how to program from scratch using games. She was very friendly and was always willing to help her students when they had doubts, both about math and programming. What impressed me most about her was how much she knew about mathematics, she literally looked like a human calculator. He explained everything in a very clear way, and made mathematics easier and even fun. In addition, in the computational thinking elective, he taught us programming in a very entertaining way, always using games that made learning more dynamic. Thanks to her, mathematics became one of my favourite subjects, and I also learned to program, something that now in college has been very useful to me. Everything I learned with her has helped me a lot in my current studies. The last time I saw her was about a month ago, when I went back to scho...
