On February 27th, author Carlos Hernandez visited the students at Stevenson University. His work consists of publications in poetry, fiction, science fiction and etc. Hernandez is currently getting ready to launch a children’s book titled Sal and Gabi Break the Universe with his contract with Disney. In addition to his work in book publication, Hernandez has also written and designed a video game titled Meriwether.
During our class panel, I enjoyed how authentic and humble Mr. Hernandez was. He began by speaking on his childhood of being a first generation American. In addition, he gave advice on how to overcome writer’s block, self-doubt, and writing in one creative workspace. I appreciated when Mr.Hernandez admitted that it takes him months/ years to write pieces of literature. I could completely sympathize with him when he stated that because I personally cannot write a good quality essay or blog post in one sitting. Overall, I feel Mr.Hernandez is the epitome of how working hard will lead you to success.
