Diego Hermosillo Hanon (translator)

(1)

Hello, there:

Don't really have much to say here, really. Born in a rich-ish familly, in a touristical city, with loving parents and siblings. I basically had most of my life fixed for me. Would-be detractions for many were really more a gift that I have learnt to cherish, such as ADHD, and the out-side of the box - that sometimes forces me into. Was taught english throughout my childhood but my "studies" were expanded upon through videogames, which eventually allowed me to read entire books.
If you were to explain "first language" as the first language you spoke (and why wouldn't you?), well, yes, spanish is my "first language", but considering I spend most of my time listening to songs, videos, television shows, whathaveyou, on top of reading loads of scientific journals and books in english, I guess you could easily consider english my "main language", you know, on top of my "first language", if that makes sense.
As I said before, I was born sort of upper-middle class, and like any father that has his chances, mine has employed me in a number of different jobs. He's a lawyer, but the jobs range all the way from delivery man to translator. This is when his friends quickly took notice of me, freelancing for lawyers, translating documents foreigners need to read. It has kept me alive and my studies, and I'm thankfull and all, but I think it would be better to start translating things I actually enjoy, instead of bureaucratic paperwork. No offence to anyone who, god forbbid, enjoys such a thing.

In my college degree there's the obligation of an extra language; hopefully one day I'll be translating in german. I'm motivated into learning as much of everything as I can, so I won't stop at german if there's no need.
