My name is Pablo Aguilar. I’m 18 as far as I know. I don’t know if I really am a good judge for myself. I think I might be biased.
I am proudly Mexican, from the super city Mexico City. I really don’t like to write or speak about myself. I am not the best topic for a conversation. As I am required, I will tell you now about my likes and dislikes. I like life, in a lot of ways. I like love. I like to appreciate what surrounds me. I like that refreshing breeze you go outside of a pub in the middle of the night. I like the sunset while walking over warm pavement, next to people whom I love, having an ice-cream. I find really poetic the sound of the ice cubes against the thin glass covered in the outside by freezing-cold sweat and filled with a refreshing beverage for me to share with someone. I like the way life arranges things for us to have a surprise every day. I like the way I love, and the way I am loved. I like politics and diplomacy. I like power, but then, who doesn’t?
My dislikes are specific things in life. I don’t like Crocs. I don’t like hamburgers that have ingredients that taste like plastic. I don’t like the way the keys in my keyboard take a greasy black color, different from the original one. I don’t like navy blue, or maybe I do, I don’t know, my girlfriend has changed the way I see life a bit. I don’t like orange fluorescent color, it makes me sick. I don’t like when I know I must do something, but I can’t do it for some reason.
I don’t think I have a lot of prejudices, or at least I don’t remember one of them. I don’t think I am a very talented person but I believe I am capable of achieving whatever I desire. I think my strengths are inside my brain. I have abilities with languages, philosophy and mathematics. I think I am a good public speaker, and a good leader. I try to be a comprehensive man. I try everyday to be a better person, especially for those who try to be better for me.
About my personality, I am a person with so much love to give, yet cold-hearted. Some say I am bad tempered, but I think I get as stressed as anyone may be under pressure. I am a very reflexive person, sometimes too much I think. I usually am very ironic.
Socially I am a versatile person. I think I can get along with almost any one; I try to be a comprehensive man, adjustable to the situation. Intellectually I am sure (sorry for the humbleness) that I am a very developed man. Emotionally I am, now, a successful person. I have a very successful and lovely relationship with a woman I love. I have successful relationships with my parents, my sisters, my friends. They are not perfect, not one of them; but that way I love them. I don’t know if morally I am a good or a bad person, but I am sure that I have some values that I like and that I follow as a way of life.
A memorable event in my life? Am I being charged per hour for this therapy? I don’t like living in the past, you should all stop living in the past.
A memorable event in my life could be happy or sad. But I’ll take the happy one. Once, not a long time ago I met a girl, a lovely girl to whom I became friends for reasons that may sound weird to a methodical audience. One day, I casually mentioned to her that Sir Paul McCartney was visiting Mexico and that he was giving a concert, but that sadly I had no budget and no one to go with. And she said: just leave it to me. And so I did. After an odyssey she got the tickets. One week after she got the tickets we decided we wanted to be part of each other’s life. One week after that decision that definitely changed my life, the concert had place. What a night. A night to remember. What a concert. What a person to be with. The first serious date I had with a girl, and what a date. Not only because of the date, but because of all she went through so it could happen. I will never finish to thank her.
There is something that I value above all, and that is my capacity to live. Because from that comes my capacity to love and to feel. I value what people around me do for me. I appreciate the lovely relationship I have with my girlfriend. I know that good relations don’t fall from the sky, but have got to be forged with will and understanding, and through it all I know we will be able to do it.
My family is a normal family, a regular family, just like the Monsters or the Adams. I’ll start with my father. He is 64 and he’s retired from being a psychologist specialized in human resources for over 40 years. He is currently bravely fighting against brain cancer; and he is an admirable human being for me, simply for that reason. My mother is 51 and she works for the Ministry for Education. She is a teacher, specialized in children with learning disorders. I have got to clear that she hasn’t taught a group for over 20 years. I have got two sisters, one of them, the eldest one, is 25 and she works in the marketing area for Pepsico, Mexico. She’s my half-sister, daughter only of my father. I love her very much because, although we haven’t lived together ever, she’s been an example for me in many ways. Then, I go in the middle. After myself comes my younger sister. She’s only 15. She makes laugh a lot; together we have a lot of fun. I love her a lot to. I know some might think that I’m rushing things, but I will include my girlfriend here. Now, I don’t want to be misinterpreted. I’m not saying we are getting married or having a baby, not yet. It is just not the time. And maybe this is not the place to describe what I have been through with her, but I can tell you that it has been a lot, through very dark and difficult times. I place her here, because of all she has done for me and my family. To thank her for what she has been. There are some things in life that are never thanked enough, and she’s been there to do those things.
Well, basically my life resumes (and what an executive resume) to that. I hope you do something better out of yours.
