INTRODUCTORY ESSAY

Do you think that you know me? Well you might believe so but, let me tell you more about me. My name is David Naranjo Diaz, I am twenty three years old and I was born in Aguascalientes Mexico. According to my parents I was always a very active baby, full of energy. Since my first years in this world I started discovering everything which surrounded me. I felt always the curiosity by the unknown things, the new sounds, the new places I visited, the new people I met etc. Now through the pass of the years I am still the same as I used to be in the past. When I was a child I found out that I had a talent to play instruments. I began playing guitar at five years old and piano at seven. I used to be good at it. That is my essence as a human being and today that remains on me, that is part of me, that is what I live for and even though in the current days I am studying a Bachelor Arts in English Language Teaching, music is always inside of me. I consider myself as a patient person, a good listener and overcoat a happy person that lives his days as if they would be his last days. This paper will show you who really David Naranjo is, his likes and dislikes, triumphs and failures, the goals to be achieved and mainly what he expects in life.

I have some likes as anyone else could have. I enjoy playing the guitar mainly alone, although I enjoy playing it for everybody as well. I like watching movies at the cinema or at home, my favorite actors are Al Pacino and Johnny Depp. Something that I have been doing recently and I like so much is gathering on Fridays at night and Sundays in the afternoon with some of my closest friends just to play cards, listen to music and talk about different stuff such as what we have done, how is it going in our week etc, anyway, any subject is great to be talked with them. In addition, I really enjoy performing alive with the band which I work for, that is my job about, playing with a wedding-band on weekends. On the other hand, I dislike drinking too much alcohol and going to night clubs where the music is too high and it is not the kind of music that I prefer to listen to. I dislike watching sports on TV so waking up pretty early in the morning.

I have never distinguished myself as an excellent student, I just try to do my best however, I have won some awards regarding academic issues. I remember that when I was in the primary school I won some awards because of my high grades in the whole scholar year. I obtained one more in secondary school and in the high school too. When I was coursing the ¨propedeutico year¨ at the university I won two awards one each semester because of my high grades. To add, regarding my musical career, I have won some awards in some championships which I have participated as a musician, with my band or as a song-writer. Nevertheless, I have had some failures in other subjects such as jobs, relationships and others fields. For instance, I did not get a job which I expected to obtain I felt a bit sad but now I am over it. I failed in a relationship with a girl who I loved deeply and it was hard to overcome the sadness and loneliness; now I am fine.

Today I have some expectations in life. First of all, I am going to finish my Bachelor art and I hope to start working as an English teacher in the next five years. As a result of that, I expect to obtain a major motivation as a professional in teaching issues. In ten years from now, I would like to be married with the person that I really love, to live in our own house and to go on vacation every year. I would like to have my children with her, three babies perhaps running in the yard. On the other hand, I am going to start studying a Master’s degree to become better in my field of work. I am going to study my instrument once more but in a deep way just like a professional guitarist and maybe I will be able to play in cultural events around the state.

To sum up, I have had the opportunity of living a good life in which there have been triumphs and failures, joy and sadness, where I have won some awards but on the other hand I have lost some other stuff quite meaningful to me; however, my personality has helped me to overcome the obstacles that appear as time goes by and I am totally sure toward what direction I am taking my life. I have some goals to be achieved. Some challenges to be taken and the most important thing to me, finding the path that drives me toward a better life. Every single day is a good day to start taking risks and going into new adventures. That is what I think about life. This it is me, this is David Naranjo.
