The story of my life
Written and protagonized by Ronald Araya Arrieta
I was born in San Ramon, I lived here until I was seventeen years old, then I had to move to Cartago in order to start my studies. There are a lot of things that I like, but what I value the most is to be in peace with myself, to feel free, and there are no specific activities that makes me feel that way, but I’m very happy when I am surrounded by nature, for example when I take tours a things like that.By the other side, I don’t like to feel overwhelmed by TEC, I don’t like stress, I hate my anxiety, I don’t like fights. I consider myself as a peacemaker, and that’s why I try to avoid the situations that make me feel angry, but obviously it’s not that easy.
In my free time I like to go to parties and take tours. I’ve done some volunteering, I like to juggle, I’ve done a lot of those kind of things. But the real truth is that in the end I don’t have too much free time. This year I’ve used my time studying, doing homeworks, projects etc. I also do some sport. Every week I go at least 3 times per week to the gym, and that helps me a lot with my mental health, I also like to run. I read philosophy when I can, but sometimes I prefer to watch videos about it , because it is easier to understand.
My favorite movie is Mommy from Xavier Dolan, because my life is similar at some points of the movie, not in that extreme situation but similar, and it’s also very sad at the end, I don’t like the happy endings.
If I have the chance to travel around the world, I would like to go to Africa, it’s a very interesting continent for me. Actually, I’ve been watching a youtuber during these days that is doing it right now, that’s why my interest for that continent has increased over these days. But in general I would like to travel all around the world.
What makes me feel accomplished? That’s a very hard question, and I think the answer is nothing, that’s the journey of most people, we used to get something, and the next day we want something else, there’s no end for that search, and that’s the reason i think that most of the people are not completely happy during their whole life, that’s my nihilistic way to see the life.
Something struggle with English is to be chill when I have to talk in an important situation, for example I had an interview for a job in english about a year ago, I got incredibly nervous, and my pronunciation was terrible, even worse than in a normal day talking with friends or in class, so that’s a problem I have to fix, that’s why i started the classes at CONARE, and that’s the answer for the next question, in order to improve my english i started to assist to these classes. I also see videos in english without subtitles, series and that kind of stuff.
