How I decided to be an architect
Since my earlier childhood I had a crush with houses, and I loved to see those magazine's advertising of apartments and houses. I could imagine I was living in those drawings, walking from room to room... And for an 9 years old it was pretty awesome, to see in a 2 dimensions so many possibilities! And when my parents gave me some Lego bricks... Oh! That was the real start of my projects!
But the word "architecture" and its meaning just came to me when I was at the high school. Until them, I thought I wanted to be a civil engineer. For you abroad Brazil, here we have specific functions for architects and civil engineers: the first only designs buildings, houses, object designs, master plans, constructions managements; and the second bridges, highways, industries, structure calculations... When I realized that what I wanted to do was only design of buildings and houses, I was presented to the Architecture world!

*Generally you can't start sentences with "and", but for storytelling (which this entry is) it's ok. Same thing with the use of "...". Nice job!
