Advertising Quote by Julio Torres
“My grades were horrible. My ambitions were big and my GPA was low. The New School admitted me, but they didn't give me enough scholarship money and I couldn't take loans, because I didn't have credit and neither did my parents. So I went to two years of advertising school in El Salvador, because it felt close enough to being a storyteller.”
