Text describing myself. 

I consider myself now at days relax and nerd.

I don't really like to describe people because I think we could fall into stereotypes or labels, then in general I tendency to be a positive person. 

During elementary school I was nerd too but I was not calm, I was a girl with a lot of energy who wanted to play all the time, I remember a picture of me bored in the classroom waiting my classmates finish their exercises because I was faster. In secondary school I got a lot of problems because I was very restless person with a young personality  It is important to mention that my secondary school was the very traditional and conservatory with boring rules, no way to arts or expression space however every year I was one of the best students, a student with one of the better grades at whole school.

There are many social rules that do not have sense to me, for example, punish students for changing hair color or do not let permise to in the school just because they were late, or bureaucracy paperwork this type of rules many time are imposed for people that is very institutionalized.

My streats is that I can work so hard for what I want, my weakness is that I am very emotional person. 

In conclusion I am a regular human! 

Thank You for reading Mr. Angeles.

Hello teacher, it is too sad that you could not read the other one, I was very inspired and I wrote a lot of interesting stories, unfortunately I did not pay attention to the timer.

But here it is again. Thank You so much

May 4th 2024

Dear Sam, I hope this mail finds you well. Long time ago without writing you a letter right?

I am sad because I did not see the time and the platform closed the chance to send the last one.

I just want to talk about the Sandoval teacher in secondary school, do you remember him?

He inspired me because he was a teacher who believed a lot in his students, the particular case that I wrote about before, He used to motivate and make us work hard on our own goals, he made us identify how important values were in our life.

And he really took care of us, as much as he could, also he prepared us to have real practices and all the time he motivated us to apply for a high school that would move us to the national universities like UAM, UNAM or IPN.

We were some of the worst students in that school but at the same time we were part of the best academic score at the same time, and many times when we got in trouble, he defended us very hard. Also he used to ask row by row if we had lunch this afternoon and if not he bought us food.

He teaches me a lot about life and of course!  a lot about Dibujo Técnico.

Have a good day Sam

See you in a few hours.
