Hi, I'm Liliana
A self-employed Web Developer based in San Antonio, Texas looking to expand my skillset and knowledge in Bioinformatics. I'm currently attending Texas A&M University-San Antonio (A&M-SA) getting my Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science while minoring in Business Administration. I'm also a student worker for A&M-SA's Web Development Team and have a background in JavaScript and Python as well as learning other web technologies such as Tailwind CSS and React Native.
Learning Self-Defense with Responsibility
Aside from being a college student and student worker, I am also a blue belt in jiu-jitsu. I have been training for roughly three and a half years, and I love it. At first, I didn't realize that learning martial arts would change my perspecitve on life, but it did. It taught me more than discipline; it taught me humility, awareness, and appreciation for the good things in this world.
There is a level of responsibility that comes with learning how to defend yourself. To me, that responsibility is not about learning how to hurt someone or proving that you can fight. It is about knowing when to stay calm, when to walk away, and how to protect yourself only when necessary. I think there is a meaningful difference between learning how to fight and learning how to defend yourself. One can come from ego, while the other requires maturity, discipline, and self-control. Jiu-jitsu has taught me that the more capable you become, the more careful you should be with that ability.
