Hello Costa Rica


On August 2009, I will have the opportunity of a life-time. As I take aim, at a new direction, seeing and traveling the continent of Central America. I believe in learning, providing there is information out there to be attained. I also believe it opens and widens one’s perspective, breaking down barriers and educating one’s mind. There will be plenty of time for sightseeing and tourist attractions as well. I have come to the realization this would be the perfect opportunity to expand my horizon, considering the financial crisis of the country and also the lack of employment. As America looks to bounce back after eight years of downward spiral.

As a writer who has the expressive component of an artist, the best way to showcase talent, is being in an environment which allows one to do so. What I hope to gain by traveling to the Eastern Hemisphere, is finally knowing I am capable of being independent, without the assistants or aid of family and friends. Another reason for exploring these options is actually taking the time to see what else lies for me. Many times people spend all their time focused in one area, instead of having an opening mind and adapting to changes as it comes, so they remain in the same circumstances, therefore missing out on what could have been window of opportunity. Change is an important attribute, as mistakes are made so the person can me molded and sculpted to reinvent themselves, because without change, I believe a person dies, or let me put it in another way, the personality they need to go towards their achievement dies, so they remain stagnate never evolving or maturing. Most importantly the reason for the drastic change is doing the one thing I love doing in the whole world. Writing! As I take the opportunity working with youths who have special needs and developing them into the persons there are. I will assure them the confidence and knowledge they need to survive in the world.

In the current times when many children are lost within themselves in a competitive world, where guidance is no longer present, and a generation consumed by the lust and greed of the mighty green dollar, I am looking to instill self confidence, so they can strive towards their goals provided they will be meet them. I believe if children who are molded the right way, they can be productive in bringing out their talents. My intentions is to develop their characters, and instill a belief and purpose system in their minds, so they can flourish throughout life.

During the time of my travel, I will finally have the opportunity to learn a second language. As I travel to historical coliseums, bridges, monument, museums, statues, restaurants, and etc. I will be keeping a daily blog, explaining my daily encounters and exposures with the local natives. In my daily blog, I will record my daily activities, traveling and comparing the similarities and difference we share as a people. In doing this, the writing that I love, becomes refreshed and defined, as I look to develop my own writing persona and unique style. I hope traveling brings about a new chapter, and change in my life, as I look to go towards my dream of becoming known through my poetry, short stores, autobiographies biographies, screenplays and creative writing. In doing this it takes me closer and closer to my dream of becoming a well renowned writer. In doing this my life will become enriched and fulfilled. Look out world here I come!!!!!! I will keep you posted. Thanks One Love.
