Hi, my name is Jack. I am a Hispanic-Canadian 18-year old that has grown fed up with the education system in my country, everything is concentrated and based on academic success and none of it on personal development. After coming back to school from a week off I found it very hard to get back into everything, having anxiety attacks more often and just wanting to let go and do something for myself and my own development. I have been looking at many different options ranging from teaching English in Cambodia to joining the Canadian armed forces. Finally, I have settled on wanting to spend a semester scuba diving. I was scuba certified 2 days after I turned 12 and have been in love with scuba ever since. Living in Canada, however, is not the best place t be a scuba diver that is why for the past 5 years I have been dreaming of diving in the red sea, the great barrier reef and the big hole in Belize. Now is when I feel is the right time to pull the trigger and dive into my dreams and fantasies and leave my beloved home to a warmer more fish-friendly climate and experience the life I have wanted to live since I was a child.
