Carlos Hernandez Visit Reflection

Our class had the honor of having Carlos Hernandez, a profound author, visit our class. He spoke about his experiences as a writer, novels he’s been working on, and gave us advice on how to be good writers ourselves.

I took away some impactful insights from him. First, to stop being a baby. I interpreted him saying this as to do what I need to do and do it in excellence, no matter where I am. Second, that you can’t get everything done at once. He said that sometimes it takes him a few hours to get his work completed and other times it takes him months. Hearing this meant a lot to me because I try to get everything done at once and end up overwhelming myself. His advice encouraged me to pace myself in my work.

I found that Carlos Hernandez is a very genuine person. After his visit I feel inspired and happy that I got to meet him and hear his wise words of advice.
