Just saw the Forbes It video and I have to say it's a great compliment to the book. For me, I'm lucky enough to come from a good family, a good group of friends I grew up with, but I always felt there was something missing. My passion had always been movies, still is. I talk movies, imagine movies, obsess about movies. I always felt left out because grown ups would talk about news, friends would talk gossip and I would talk movies. Long story short I tried so hard to fit in. I wasn't bullied in school but was hardly included, tried to have a big group of friends, only had 2-3 real ones. At the time that bothered me. It took me to the extent of almost giving up on my vision since I was so scared to take the shot. After I graduated from psychology I didn't even see myself in an office seeing patients everyday.
I then decided to leave my home in Costa Rica and moved to NY to become an actor. This also gave me the idea to mentor the next generation. We have, not the right, but the duty, the responsibility to be ourselves and, with billions of people out there there's no way you won't find your community.
