11) Are you a self lerner? Which skills have you developed by yourself?
Tooco are three vowels and two consonants arranged around randomly next to each other. Tooco could have been “Torcuato” or also “Conrado”, but finally became someone named Francisco. Tooco could have been an architect, but short was the ride between beams and scaffolding, and finally he decided to go into the illustration world by himself.
