My Photo scholarship 2010 entry

The southeast part of Puerto Rico which goes unnoticed to any tourist but is land for pro-surfers and amateurs. During summer and winter I love waiting for that call the night before when one of my friends to wake up earlier than any other day to a 30 minute drive to Maunabo's tunnel to get to one of the surf spots what I consider my playground. The first step in the sand releases me of everything that I ever know and my basic instinct are: taking pictures, surfing or meditate. It's my own little piece of heaven only few lucky ones get the chance to see it even many locals never get to see this. I want to be chosen for this scholarship because this is the only thing I know that I would love to do with my life since I was a little girl. I've kept maps around my room I never wanted to be a doctor I just wanted to travel the world not any idea whatsoever could filter through my head unless it was about traveling. Later on as I was growing up I discovered a passion that would help me feel as close as traveling and that was photography, I could stare endless hours to picture taken by national geographic experts and see how flawless there work is. I picked up quickly on digital photography from what i would read in books and on the internet,sadly no one here teaches photography or support this art. Here in Puerto Rico it's very difficult to have that support from your family to go and thrive for a career in photography. I proved to my parents I could do it by being accepted into the University of Puerto Rico Fine Arts Department, finally i got credit for my talent. But I know that will never be enough for myself until I get out and explore and exploit my talents. I want my chance to actually test theories and knowledge of photography instead of just reading them in books.

Unfair and unjust

I am a girl who's here but really just wants to get out and find a new place to call home. I dont have any problems at all and within wrtting the sentence before i do not mean that im running away from my problems but i do know that I wanna move on from this place its not that im better than anybody in this small town in fact I love my town here in Guayama Puerto Rico but I just feel and know that there are bigger things and more adventures out there. The sad part for me is never having the money to go anywhere i come from a middle-low class family that can only pay the basic expenses and only a few extra things.BUMMER...

Ever since i was a girl ive know that i always wanted to travel i didnt want boys to like or wear make up I just wanted to travel. Everybody here laughs at the thought of me just wanting to travel in life but hey its not my fault just like some people only like sports and some people only love science I love to travel.It seems unrealistic to some people but hey thats just how I am its unfair for me though that i never have the resources to travel to anywhere i want to because well im only a teenager living with my parents and my parents have otehr things to worry about but at the same time the pressure of a puertorican society is overbearing i mean over ehre you cant study your true passion without being criticize because the things is that here whats really important for "them" is the MONEY the job that gets you the highest salary so students tendo to pic careers within the STEM system not that i hate science or math im top in my class but theres more to life than being a doctor,banker or a lawyer ever since i was a girl i knew that these jobs were to stereotypical and dare i say BOOOOOORING...

all in all thats life here in puerto rico hasta luego amigo ficticio
