I am Joven Romualdo. I was born a Filipino, but I was raised in Canada. I’m a simple person that enjoys many things in life being able to create, draw, and express myself through the arts. I do not like to interact with people I barely know, so the friends I already have are very important to me. I really do care about the things I create, and I am self-critical when I see something that doesn’t fit me.
I was growing up, and learning things at my Elementary School Mundy Road. I have never questioned who I am and never stopped being myself. I only started when people started to question who I was, where I came from, and what I was. The thought stayed in my subconsciousness but I didn’t care because I already knew who I was, a person who smiled and braved things through without a care in the world.
It all started when I was a small baby. I was around three my mother and I moved to Canada to live with my father and grandparents. I do not remember much but I do remember that I lived on Marmont str. moved to Hillcrest str. and back. We lived in Hillcrest for seven years so moving made me feel like I lost everything I built up. These events don’t affect me much now but during the time they happened, it felt like the end of the world.
In elementary it was easier for me to draw whenever I wanted because I usually had a lot of free time, and most of the time the teachers encouraged me. I always drew a lot of cartoon animals and cartoon people because that’s what I always watched on tv, cartoons! In high school, I have decided I wanted to try Drafting Design and Animation because, I want to prepare for possible careers I may pick in the future like animation or something more advanced like 3D modelling.
If anyone were to ask me what I wanted to be I would say I want to be a person who enjoys the things they do. I am currently learning how to do those things properly but in the future, I will be able to do what I want as a job. I want to be an artist, animator and many more. Because I have my friends, family, and people who care for me, I can do anything. I would call myself a metaphorical panda because panda’s get to do what they love every day, they will do their bamboo eating as I create my own art. And that, I say, is the best thing of all.
