My delights

My name is Daniel Espinosa, and I am a critical thinker, there is not a thing I don’t overthink. I am 14 years old, and I was born in Cuba. I love to exercise, especially running, and I also practiced karate for four years. My favorite movies are all the Mission Impossible movies, and my favorite show is The Blacklist, it is very intriguing. For fun, I also love to hang out with my friends and family. I also love to play video games and watch fun, entertaining science videos. My favorite type of food is a good steak, preferably a New York strip steak, with a baked potato. The best restaurant in Miami is obviously Outback; it can be anywhere, not necessarily in Miami. The coolest place to check out in Miami is the Frost Museum of Science. It is a great place to go if you are interested in science or if you want to see cool science interactions.

The future

For the future, I plan to stay in Florida and work as a nutritionist. My goal will always be to help people. I am planning to get a full ride to UF for their dietetic program. I also want to explore the world and visit different places like Germany, France, Italy, the Maldives, and Greece. I want to achieve these goals by working hard from now and passing important classes like this one. I also have to make good financial decisions and avoid making reckless choices.

Achievements

I have had the honor of receiving numerous Paw awards and being named Student of the Year last year. More than anything, I am grateful to God for all the things I have accomplished in life, even outside of school. This year, I am setting my goal to earn a 5 in every AP class I have, which includes Spanish, English, Biology, and Psychology. My strengths are that I am very dedicated to whatever I set my mind to, and I am also very consistent. I do well in every subject and consider myself a well-rounded person. One of my weaknesses is that when I don’t get the score I expect, I often beat myself up about it. This usually leads to stress, which is bad for my health. One of the most important things in my life is to continue becoming a better version of myself every day. I frankly believe that in order to get better at what you are doing, you must set goals and constantly try to improve.

My best moment

My most exciting moment was on a cruise ship with my family, heading to the Bahamas to see the beautiful beaches. While I was there, I felt so excited and grateful to have the people I love with me. It was fabulous because of the food, activities, and places we visited. Moments and places like this are the most exciting for me because I get to enjoy them with the people I love and care for.

My embarrassment

The most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me was during a karate belt exam. I had to break two boards with a punch, and I failed badly. I felt like the world had fallen on me in that moment. There were people everywhere and cameras pointing at me. I felt this especially because my sensei was looking at me, and I thought I was going to fail the exam.

Favorite assignment

My favorite type of assignment I have done before is drawing ones, like the one shown in the image. These types of assignments are effective because they force us to put in effort. Therefore, it is beneficial because the effort helps us remember better, especially when drawing a topic out. In this assignment, I had to draw three pictures about the Scramble for Africa, a historical event when most imperialist countries exploited Africa. It was so effective that I still remember many details. In this class, I would love to have debates. This is also a fun and entertaining way to practice my argumentative skills.
