Paulo's Story

My passion is liberal arts.

I discovered the arts early in my life, but my passion developed this year as a freshmen. The reason for that is, I never had an art class before this year. Now, I understand the meaning of art and what it represents. Furthermore, art and writing is so free flowing that it could be anything at all, so it is sort of like my personality. To add on, since I found out how art works from my art teacher, she showed me how easy it could be and you really do not need to have much experience to begin. Since I discovered it, I have been so diligent to make everything I create and write unique.

A Note from Ms. Aubry, Paulo's Teacher

Paulo is the perfect candidate for the San Jose Area Writing Project Teen Institute because he is curious, confident, passionate and driven. Because Paulo's community is under-served, an opportunity to step outside of his 'normal' and discover an artistic community outside of his typical experience could change the trajectory of his life in the most beautiful ways.

Last thank you

Almost a week from today my creative writing program at San Jose State has ended. While I am still heart broken about its end, because the program has given me clarity for my future career, a writer. Writing is now an outlet for my creativity mind. My idea for my future has been morfied because of your contributions. As I finally have an understanding of me because of you.
Thank You -Paulo Orozco
