So I had to write a one-page life story, but I wrote a page and a half. I thought I’d share it with you guys if you were curious 🙂

All my life I was never too sure of what i wanted to do. I was either always following in the footsteps of someone else or just doing whatever people told me to do. It started out from college where I went to California State Long Beach, studying to be an engineer, just like all of my other friends. I knew for a fact it wasn’t what i really wanted to do, but I just saw the money it came with. One thing that I did enjoy was breakdancing and creating videos for my small YouTube channel that I had at the time. I used my YouTube channel as a platform and a diary to be able to track my improvement and also to give me a reason to record something. Because I was not used to the freedom college came with, I ended up focusing more on creating content and dancing versus my studies, which ultimately lead me into failing my classes. At that moment I knew that engineering wasn’t meant for me.

The following year I attended El Camino Community College, but changed my major to Radiology Technology. I saw it as an easy cop out, good money, and I can still create content on the side with the flexible schedule they gave. During my freetime from dance practice, school, and work; I found myself watching YouTube videos of Video Game Let’s Plays. I found myself hooked watching 30 minute videos of people playing through agame and giving commentary and reactions to what they’re feeling and witnessing. Later along the lines i felt that, “I can do this too!” So I went to my local Best Buy and bought a cheap webcam and a cheap microphone with whatever money I had in my account. Although the classes were easy enough for me, I did not have the passion to pursue the career. At the same time I was undergoing a ridiculous issue at one of my current jobs. Later, my boss forces me to quit my job, but it gave me somewhat of an epiphany that, “I don’t want to work for anyone but myself.” At that point i decided to take my YouTube a bit more seriously.

Overtime I started to see personal and exponential growth on my YouTube, I ended up meeting with some of the people I used to watch and befriended a lot of them. I received my first paycheck through my YouTube and learned that if I really put my heart into something I am truly passionate about, I can achieve what I want to do and turn my passions into a career. I later started attending Santa Monica College after getting my A.A in Biological and Physical Science to learn more about the Content Creation industry besides YouTube. My professor suggested me to try using my skill set into getting into the PromaxBDA program. My heart and passions still lie on YouTube as HERMSAUR. I already created a platform for myself to create an earning for the things that I love to do, but I also learned that what i learned on my own time can also give me another career if ever I choose too or if YouTube fails me. At the end of the day I just learned that I’ve always been a Content Creator and that I’m meant to pursue that career.
