My name is Samalis Santini De León and I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I am currently a mechanical engineering student at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus. I live both my parents, my brother and two dogs and a cat I consider part of it. I love science and math which are the main reason to why I chose to take the path of engineering. Asides from academics I enjoy reading for hours just as much as I enjoy practicing sports such as swimming and skimboarding. Excercises have always been a part of my life specially swimming which I have practiced for nine years already and I almost represented Puerto Rico in the open water swimming competitions at El Salvador in a lake located in the mountains near an inactive volcano. Sadly I didn't go because of some "mistakes" the National Swimming Federation made and I lost the opportunity. I also enjoy yoga, pilates and anything that requires physical effort. I consider myself an outgoing person who loves to try new things when I have the time. Also, I tend to be very observant, maybe too much at times since I am constantly analyzing people in the way they express themselves, their movements, and many other aspects that surprise me on how much it can say from a person. In general terms these are some facts about myself, I hope you enjoy the Lords and Ladies of the Ink blog!
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thought in clear form."
-Albert Einstein
"A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive." (Albert Einstein, 1954)
