Hello, I'm Adrián, a passionate learner and educator. I was born in the city of Puebla, Mexico, and I've always been fascinated by building, fixing, and understanding how things work. I'm studying engineering, which has strengthened my curiosity and my desire to share knowledge with others. I firmly believe in responsibility, teamwork, and the power of helping others. To me, unity always makes us stronger and better. Outside of academics, sports are an essential part of my life. Running and playing basketball keep me energized, and I love exploring nature—especially mountain climbing, taking advantage of the incredible trails my city has to offer. Music is another passion of mine; playing the guitar and singing are moments where I truly connect with myself. I'm always open to new experiences and learning opportunities, and I love sharing my enthusiasm with those around me. 
What are you most proud of/biggest achievement in life so far?:

My greatest achievement so far has been getting into my university. It is one of the most competitive in my city, and every year, many people aspire to be part of it, facing a challenging admission exam. When I checked my assignment and saw that I had been accepted, I felt immense satisfaction and pride because it was the result of my effort and dedication. Without a doubt, my next big achievement will be completing my degree and continuing to grow professionally.
What is your favorite hobby/sport/thing to do during your free time?:

My favorite hobbies are reading, playing video games, playing basketball, and mountain climbing. I enjoy each of them with enthusiasm, as they allow me to relax and make the most of my free time. My favorite sport is basketball, but I also enjoy swimming and working out at the gym. However, if there's one activity I truly consider my favorite, it’s learning. Whether it’s gaining knowledge for my university studies or developing skills that help me in my daily life, I’m always looking to grow and improve in different areas.
What is your favorite thing about working with children?:

What I enjoy most about working with children is the opportunity to teach while also learning alongside them. Children are naturally curious and love discovering new things, which is something I deeply relate to. Seeing their excitement and enthusiasm when they understand something new or achieve a small milestone is incredibly inspiring. That energy and joy motivate me to keep learning and improving every day.
What impact are you most excited to make this year at CCB?:

This year at CCB, I am excited to contribute positively by helping others learn and grow. I am motivated by the idea of sharing knowledge, fostering a collaborative environment, and bringing in ideas that can improve teamwork. I believe that even small actions can create a significant impact, and my goal is to be a positive influence that inspires others to push themselves and develop new skills. I am committed to giving my best and learning from those around me so that together, we can achieve great things.
What goal or camp philosophy do you really want your campers to learn this summer?:

This summer, I want my campers to learn the importance of teamwork, resilience, and self-confidence. In a camp environment, every experience is an opportunity to grow, face challenges, and discover new skills. I want them to feel confident in trying new things without fear of making mistakes because every mistake is a valuable lesson. Additionally, I want them to learn to support one another, understanding that together, they can achieve much more. My goal is for them to leave with the confidence that they can overcome any challenge and with unforgettable memories of learning and friendship.
