My first job was delivering newspapers to my neighborhood just outside Columbus. I was eight. There were a lot of papers so instead of biking I pulled a wagon. A hundred and thirty houses. I do this every Saturday morning for two years.
But one Saturday there was a soccer game I couldn’t miss. And it was looking like the papers weren’t going to get delivered.
So I got my ass out of bed at three a.m. and stuffed those papers in their plastic bags, loaded the wagon, and set out into the dark with a flashlight without my parents knowing. I delivered all hundred and thirty papers before their alarms went off.
Just kidding I did like twenty houses and then the wagon broke so I got scared and ran home. But man my heart was in it. I was gonna get the job done because I said I would. I think I am the same way today.
My parents woke up when I came back and they were pissed. We got the wagon and finished that night. Shortly after I resigned as paperboy.
RIP Sansa. <3

Born and for the most part raised in Brazil. I then moved to Virginia when I was 15 and finished my raising there. I always say I’m a “Southern-American South-American” because of that. I got my BFA in design and shortly after headed to Brandcenter, where I found my creative voice in advertising.
I don’t usually smile in pictures but we were happy that day.
