My name is Cesar Villarreal, I'm 25 years old. I love listening to christian hip hop, going to the church on weekends, listening to podcasts, among other things.
I chose the translation career because I enjoy learning English and translating it into Spanish. Therefore, I want to keep on upgrading it, so I can use it as a tool to help everyone, not only clients. Furthermore, If I work so hard, I know translation will lead me to different professional areas. For example, I would like to be a Literary Translator. I know it is not an easy profession, but I have the qualities to stand out in that area. For instance, passion, creativity, imagination, strong emotions, reading comprehesion etc.

Conclusion
Analyzing and translating is not easy at all. It took me a while to analyze and understand the different translation procedures, especially because I am not a native English speaker. There are so many aspects that we have to take into consideration before translating a document or article. For instance, semantics, culture, history, vocabulary, phonetic sounds, and even literary devices. But the effort is worth it when we discover the diversity of translation.
