My name is Jose Estrada, and I am from Guatemala. I am pursuing a career in creative writing and advertising. I’ve always enjoyed writing; I wanted to be an author when I was a little kid. I used to create my own books on Word, not realizing I would go on and pursue a writing career. The difference is that I don’t want to be an ordinary author, as I know times have changed. With the advertising world growing, I decided to incorporate what I love to do, writing, into the creative field. I seek to improve my knowledge through passion and hard work.
Throughout my 21 years, I’ve had a hand full of passion. Apart from writing, I am fond of combat sports—competing in W.A.K.O Kickboxing— motor racing, guitar playing, and watching movies. Even in my passions, I have experienced ups and downs, but I’m still going forward with much to learn. For instance, competing in a combat sport toughened my persona. Of course, you will get punched and perhaps even beat up at times and lose. The thing is, no matter how many times you fall, you have to get back up. With the right mindset and discipline, overcoming adversity is the easy part. Nonetheless, I have indeed failed in my life. When applying to colleges, I was rejected by what was supposedly the college of my dreams; however, we are not taught that dreams change.
I am halfway through my degree at The University of Tampa and have started taking my advertising minor classes. FMX 210 is a class I wanted to take. The fact that it is based on digital media, through skills in Adobe, caught my attention. I look forward to improving my skills and, better yet, understanding what goes behind design and creation. I expect the class to have a lot of work but not overwhelm me because of its clear instructions and timed due dates.
