Hi everyone, as I mentioned in my previous post, I like cats a lot and in this picture you can see the last cat that I adopted from the street: Cielo. She was abandoned in the street, alone in a box, so I decided to take her with me. When I arrive at my home my mother was surprised but she acepted it inmediatly. The photo was taken 2 years ago, a week after Cielo arrived my home. I remenber that I had fallen asleep and she was launched over my chest to meow and meow until she woke me up. I had to caress her until she was quiet. In the photo she looks very ugly jajaja but at present she has changed, now she is bigger and so pretty. This makes me happy because confirm that with love and suport we can help to animals, and if you dont believe me, here is a picture of the present:

Many tastes are going to change with time, but play basketball has been a hobby that I have done from small.🏀 I started practicing it since I was 7 years old. A teacher told me that I was very tall for my age, so he taught me the basics of basketball: how to throw, how to handle the ball, how not to commit fouls, among many others, and after a few games, basketball had already enchanted me. I really liked it because it was easy for me to put the ball in the basket , I was very good ( not wanting to show off ) , which motivated me to continue practicing it. N ow I play almost every weekend and train every Wednesday because I am part of the FAU team. Another of the hobbies I have since childhood is drawing. I always liked comics and cartoons, so I wanted to do them on my own. So I started drawing almost every day, I can't deny that at the beginning I didn't do so well, but as the saying "practice makes the teacher" so I practiced and practiced. N ow my technique in...

I don't know if it's my favorite but I use it too: the smartphone. It is a small device that allows us to communicate and find information we need in the web. It is really like a mini computer because you can do everything with it. I didn't have one until I turned 16, and it was a small cell that my sister was not going to use anymore because she had bought a better one. Then I got a better one, more modern, so the first one I use to listen to music only.  I use my new smartphone every day and to do almost everything: communicate with others, find information, send emails, read, see memes, watch series, play videogames, among other. In simples words, I use it to comunicate and entertain.  And I like it because it facilitates me daily works and I can take it everywhere. If it didn't exist I suppose I would use the computer to replace their tasks, but everything would be slower and more complicated.

Since I was little I always liked to draw, and this was one of my dreams: be a comic artist. W hen I grew up, I discovered the animation, then i also wanted to dedicate myself to doing that. However, after finishing school I did not know if I could really do that, so I looked for carrers that were related to the drawing, discovering desing and digital animation. In the end I chose desing because I could reach more jobs and not just make animations. My experience at the university studying desing has had ups and downs, but in recent years I have learned things related to what I really want to do in the future: to able to transmit emotions. And for that reasonn I would like to be able to work in an animation studio or video game development, either designing characters or their stories.

I currently live with all of them in a big house. My first studies were in a small school called San Francisco Javier, it was very religious and correct. There I made my first friendships and discovered something that fascinated me: the basketball. However I had to leave that school because it dindn't have a secundary education.  Then I applied to a...
