My name is Yadiel R. Ortiz Jiménez and I am currently 20 years old. I live in Quebradillas, Puerto Rico, a small rural town located to the north west of the island. I live there with both my parents, a younger sister and a chihuahua called Mia. I study in the University of Puerto Rico in Rio Piedras. My goal is to graduate with a bachelor degree in biology so I can study to become a pharmacist. I enjoy drawing, reading and spending time with friends and family.
My collage represents how I view my internal and external journeys. There is a sense of duality represented mainly by the two wolf facing each other, one is black and the other white. This represents a personal view of the world and that is that there are many sides to a situation and I want to understand all of them before I reach a decision. Wolves are a mayor theme in my collage because from a young age I have identified with them. I categorize myself as a lone wolf but at the same time I like how they are portrayed as family animals since they live in packs. This represents my journey to find my own pack a place where I fit in and belong as an equal. Wolves are also portrayed as serious creatures which I am generally described as. In the background of my collage there are many pictures of landscapes most of them with bodies of water. I have always enjoyed nature, as I find it is a great place to relax and meditate. I also identify with the water element because it can be calm and nurturing but it can also be a force o be reckon with is what I strive to become. Water also references my depression, which can be a sea where I float on its surface or a place where I can drown in. The pictures of a battlefield and fights represent the challenges and inner struggles everyone goes trough on there journeys both physically and mentally. There are several paintings which reflect my love for the arts as well as other nerdy references which are part of who I am and in a way have molded me into the person I am today. This collage also represents values, ideals and what enjoy in life.
I can't really comment on how you are based on how long I've known you because we haven't really talked that much. But from what I've seen these past two months you are a very hard working and dedicated person. Your metaphor with water is very interesting take on depression as I have often seen that reflected in my stepfather; water is also unpredictable and should not be underestimated as something so important to human life can also bring about death. I look forward to working with you in what little time we have left in the semester.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your opinion with everything concerning to the wolves theme. It's interesting and admiring how you really classified it in different ways and still be able to see yourself like one. I'm sure you'll find you're own pack as how everyone is also doing in this world. Where we want to find ourselves and others who we can connect with. Good luck on your major also! Biology is a very fascinating study and really hardworking, I've seen how organized and determined you are going to do great.
ReplyDeleteI loved the metaphors you employed, and I believe that you won't have any trouble finding your wolfpack. In the two months I have known you, you've shown great character, determination, creativeness and a positive attitude to adversity. I have no doubt that you'll become a successful doctor, or whatever you set your mind to. Keep on running and you'll find people along the way. Great read!
ReplyDeleteWhat captivated my attention the most was how beautifully you utilized the wolf metaphor to express yourself. I think everybody is always searching for that sense of belonging and I believe you'll find it because there is always someone who you can identify with, someone who is just like you. Your future is bright and you can do anything you set your mind to.
