About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Self-Realization

ABOUT ME

When I was five years old I used to take the bus to school. Everyday after school I'd be exhausted so I'd fall asleep. Since I was a pretty small dude, the bus driver would know to check the bus, and he would wake me up when I got to my stop.

One time we had a substitute bus driver and he forgot to check if anyone was in the bus at the end of the day. I woke up a couple of hours later at a bus depot, not really sure how to open the bus doors. I jumped out the window and then walked to a nearby office. It wasn't until I got to the office that I started crying. Not because I was scared that I had woken up in a bus parking lot, but rather, because I only knew Spanish at the time and the office ladies were asking me questions in English.

PHILOSOPHY

That it will never come again, is what makes life so sweet.
