I am dreaming, no wait...living!


Latina.

Secluded from a cliché family.

I have dreams.

First generation college student in a Masters program.

You read right.

A drive to fulfill those dreams.

Worked from the age of fifteen.

Architecture school from the age of fourteen.

Passionate teachers pushed my motivation

Graduation one.

Derogative professors hindered my self-motivation.

Proud parents pushed my motivation.

Graduation two.

Love and family are left to fulfill those dreams.

I love

I care

I have dreams.

Repeated lessons hinder motivation.

Unmotivated professors hinder my self-motivation.

Successfully repeated lessons push my self-motivation.

Supportive parents push my motivation.

Passionate professors push my self-motivation.

Motivation pushes my self-motivation to create innovatively.

I had dreams.

Ten years or architecture school and still going.

I am living.
