Smalll loan of a million dollars

If someone gave a small loan of a million dollars, i would probably don't know how to spend it.

I would buy a lot of things, like a couple of  super fast cars just because I could, then, maybe a house but i think that probably would be better to invest it in something that gave me even more money to spend it after i gained it. 

Of course i would donate a part of that money to help people who needed it more than me, but would be cool if I had it.

Definitely, if i had that money, I could live for ever without moving a single finger.

Mail

Hello Sonia, as you said I'm writting the presentation mail talking about my dreams.

The truth is, I never had a clear goal to achieve in my life, because since I was a kid, I never stoped thinking about all the possibilities that someone could achieve on his life. There have been a lot of ideas in my head since always. When I was a child, there were the classical ones, like being an astronaut or something like that, but recently, about 2 years ago, I became interested in visual arts.

I started drawing things I liked, and they were not so bad, but I've always felt like there was a hole on everything i've done, because it wasn't mine. So I guess that my dream would be like to create something by myself and then do an animated series or somehing so the people could enjoy it.

The past year I've been working with a friend who's studying an informatic cycle, he had to create like some kind of animated videos, and he asked me if I could send him  some designs for his charaters, so I did. In the end, I don't know how it ended, because I sent to him my first design, but then he didn't need more, so my early carreer finished there. That helped me to grow the interest in drawing. 

I think that's all, thanks for reading and good night :)
