INTRODUCTION
This is one of the best times of my life, as I encounter a moment that always dreamed. I grew up in Medellin, Colombia where I had the opportunity to live different experiences, know different places and cultures, which led me to choose and define the career I wanted to pursue. I always saw the real world different to the world that I had created in my mind and imagination, and thought: Why humanity does not risk to give better experiences for the world ?, Why always the same? from that moment I began to imagine, create and investigate how I could do something different to the rest of the world, and was at that moment that I decided to study architecture, this brings me to another level of imagination, creation, feelings; and more becoming the first person in my family who chose this career, I feel happy and motivated to keep going. I came to this country 10 years ago, and as I passed my process of adaptation and knew this new culture, I hindered my entrance to college, I began to inform and fight for this great dream. About 3 years ago I started to make it happen, that's why I care, love and respect what I do. Now I find myself taking a second step, and want to continue fulfilling it in college where I always wanted to study since I came to this country, FIU. Since I started my career, I've researched and FIU is the best university offering Architecture program in Florida and this prompted me more to want to finish my studies there. I know FIU will give me the opportunity to continue growing in my career and have a thorough knowledge about what I want to give as an architect, providing the best to the society, taking them to different experiences and creating unique spaces. In my opinion Architecture is art more complex since from a single point we can get to transform this into an architectural space, symmetrical and balanced, with the power to create buildings in the human environment, creating spaces with meaning where humans can develop any type of activities. Architecture is the art unavoidable which determines that lifestyle, behavior and becomes involved the psychological mood. Mankind by nature searched for ways to change and evolve, so the architecture is not left behind, always sought ways to create new spaces and designs. My future goals are to give the world something unique and special, bringing my knowledge to different parts of the world regardless of economic status, offering to the new generations a point of motivation and inspiration, and to be a guide in the field of Architecture. This brings me to start a new chapter in my life, starting my own firm, doing my work accessible to anyone in society, considering that this may affect their quality of life.
