Mr. Hernandez’s Visit was wonderful!
His poetry really caught my attention due to the interesting subjects he took inspiratoin from. As someone who writes as a hobby and tends to be drawn in many directions of interest like mythology, history, and artwork, it was wonderful to hear from someone who holds many interests and channels all of them into his work. Games, Books, Poetry, he happily tries his hand at all of them all from different inspirations. A takeaway from that for me was to not worry about focusing on only one thing, but to rather embrace all my interests and try to use them to my advantage. Maybe they will lead to something new for me.
Another take away was his advice on networking. It has always felt wrong to me to use friends as leverage in business or making friends for that purpose. His advice that it isnt just networking, it is making meaningful friendships with similar interests makes it feel less disingenuous to me.
He was an Interesting speaker, I’m glad he came to our class!
