I'm shy. But as you ask me..., what
do you want to know? My name is Richard Armstrong
Rivero, I am 10 years old and I am a fifth grader.
School? Center Victuro Acosta. Yes, right here in
Manati, near my house.
I already know your following
question. Yes, I love the art. My mom says that
since I was in preschool I used to dramatize short
stories. Of couese, I didn't still know how to read,
but she read them to me and I didn't forget them.
Almost all the short stories were by Herminio
Almendros. I began this way.
When I was in fourth grade I had
reasons to be much more motivated. In my school all
the classrooms had to dramatize plays. Abdala, by
Jose Marti, was assigned to mine. The day of the
setting members of the House for Culture were there
and I was performing in that moment. It seems they
liked it, because they selected me for future.
A little time later they asked me
to participate in the Festival for Children, in the
municipal cinema. It was held in February this year.
I was the presenter and I dramatized a monologue. I
was the most outstanding in theater. The monologue
is in the book for fourth graders. I began there as
amateur.
Recently, when the municipal radio
station was put on air, the student organization
created a group of children to make programs to this
population. A she classmate and I have recorded
several programs. The audience says that it is
interesting, because the topics are related with the
children, such as vacations, care of nature, formal
education, patriotic symbols, art of reading...Nervous?
No, never.
I have had several interviews in
the radio station and one feels more and more relax.
Recently there was a pothole in a program and I
began to improvise until I covered it. Nobody
realized!.
Theater is what I like the most. I
like to performe in front of the people. The cinema?
I like it alot. I know the names of the movies and
of the actors and actresses. Although I also like
reading. Perhaps, one day I decide to write. Nobody
knows. But firstly I need to study a lot.
I don't memorize my recognitions,...
why don't you ask to my mom? She has all that in a
paper. Please, don't make me to tell you. Mommy, let
me see the paper. Look, here they are. Note them
down: Outstanding in the 14th Provincial Forum of
Science and Technique, Guest to the Municipal
Assembly of the Committees for the Defense of the
Revolution (CDR), Participant in the Provincial
Exhibition of Interest Clubs of the Red Cross, Award
in the municipal event ECOJOVEN, Guest to the
Provincial Cucalambeana Folkloric Party, Head of
Group, Certificate El Beso de la Patria, Member of
the Headquarters Fuerzas de Acción Pioneril... they
seem to be enough. Thanks you for comomg to see me.
