About Me

Hey, my name is Santiago Giraldo and I am 15 years old. I play soccer for South Florida Football Academy. My hobbies are fishing, playing video games, watching movies, and trying new foods. Things I want to do in the future are become a professional soccer player, travel the world, and become successful. I was born here in Florida, but my family is from Colombia. I am in 10th grade and am planning to go to college. My birthday is May 3, 2010. My favorite food is pasta but I also enjoy may foods. I like to go to theaters to watch new movies almost every week, especially with my sister. My favorite candy is Haribo Gummy Snakes. My favorite brand is Nike and hope to be sponsored in the future by them. I want to travel across Europe and South America to learn more about the world. I live in a family of 4 with an older sister who I enjoy doing a lot of things with. 

Why I Chose this Course

I chose this course because I wanted to learn more about films and the production that goes into creating them. My dad is a cameraman and an editor, so taking this course could help me learn how to use a camera and how to edit clips and other things necessary in this field. Also, I chose tis class so I could get closer to completing 7 AICE courses necessary for the Bright Futures Scholarship. I have always liked film so this would help me understand and enjoy the details that directors implement to create good movies.
