(Objetos Encontrados)

This is the story of a friend of mine, who was just in the limbo of decisions. Lets call her Angie and her story begins back when she was in high school. 

Angie, who lived in Colombia, was a very smart girl, but the thing was that she was rather lazy. Instead of studying, Angie preferred to watch TV and chug on candy and snacks. She used to play the guitar and in fact, she was pretty good at it. I remember she once told me she had won a various amount of prices and diplomas over her talent.

However, as I told you, she was not outstanding in her general high school courses such as math, language, or physics.  As a matter of fact, I used to think she was a very active person but as soon as we stand inside the classroom it was like if all her energy was drained, so you had to carry with yourself a power bank or extra batteries to re charge her.

Just as every human, Angie had a true passion, technology and design, Her dream was to pursue a degree which fused both, and she found just the right one. In a university far far away, in the north of Mexico, was the Tec of Monterrey with an available bachelor degree of Digital Systems and Robotics Engineering.

Angie realized she HAD to go there, so she set

things that distracted her from a productive life aside, abandoned the over consumption of candy, ad started to show interest in those classes who were difficult for her.

Angie had reorganized her life, in a matter of months, she found herself in Monterrey, in a whole new country, she new that not even the sky was the limit. But this did not went well for long. She had no one to stop her form doing what she loved and trying new things. She started spending in apparel and stuff she really did not needed, and her money was running low.

When she was starting her second semester, she had to set her priorities up and place new years' resolutions. Convincing herself to accomplish them, she started a successful second semester.

Semesters went by, of course she had ups and downs, but every week was as magical as her first ever. Angie was getting near to choose what to do in her future within her career. She already knew since she was able to watch TV, she wanted to work with cartoons. Ever since she had the chance to watch TV, she would go straightly to The Looney Tunes, she loved them, and was always intrigued how these were made. 

Unfortunately, these sort of preparation was just available in Europe, Spain. Now we had a new problem there. What was great about Angie was that she never saw a problem, but a challenge. She tricked to lock herself up from stuff that kept her from achieving this new goal.

Did she made it? Did she not? Well, lets say that last time I talked to her she was dining on some hot paella with a bunch friends while finishing a project for Wild Tangent Games. She has been an inspiration for many around the world.  

"Get distracted form life very once in a while, it refreshed your body, but never loose sight of your goals."
