what to say...

Coming from a first generation family, I was always encouraged to work hard, to speak up for myself. However, I am not the greatest with words. Sometimes my tongue tends to spew out the words before I can even comprehend what I said.

I would find it much easier to just let my work speak for me. I want to create imaginable things that could do all the speaking for me. Often, I find myself drawing, my mind running nonstop of all the possibilities I can create. If I can’t properly put it into words, why not let my drawings, ideas, or designs do it for me?

When I was in middle school, we had to write about what we wanted our future careers to be. English wasn’t always my best subject, but somehow, math was. I understood numbers more than the words of a book. I knew the moment I found architecture was a mixture of STEM with a touch of art, I was a goner.

That was also my first time I got an A+ on an English paper.

I know that I am still growing, not only with my work, but as a human. I know I can push myself to be the greatest that I can be, to make my own mark onto the world.
