This is the fourth time the faculty of the IES Juan de la Cierva, gives a degree of Bachelor of Honor: Uncle John Rite trovero centennial and vital man, Juana Serrano delicate poet and painter of land, or of the Ladybug Fonda mage survivor cookers and cream, have been taught by our previous Bachelors school life.
Today we present to you all, to the students who are about to finish your high school studies, to the faculty members present, to a man of much more surprising resources of natural intelligence think sobredotada, of creativity, exploration, observation, invention ... which I personally left me perplexed.
It is Joaquín López Castillo, probably some you may know by Joaquin the barbershop in Pilar Street, others have heard of him as that of Cabañuelas Joaquin.
And this aspect of their skills is what drew our attention to the teachers to decide distinguish with the Bachelor of Honor.
However, to learn more about this man we have known a flood of facets, resources and capabilities we did not know in Joaquin.
Born in Archivel Joaquin Castillo, a district Caravaca field.
Since very little was an awake person, willing to learn everything, to know everything, to work earnestly teachers his father spoke to him of his ability, but the needs were great and pretty boy could not go to school because they had to help at home, in the field.
At age 12 the family moved to the estate of Giles, in the town of Lorca, Totana but very close.
There continues to help the family, but his father who thinks that the field is very ungrateful and hard for a living, has decided that the profession of his two sons would be to tailor and barber.
His brother begins as a barber's apprentice, but soon abandoned the profession because he dislikes; Joaquin see this as an opportunity and takes the activity that his brother had left, entering as an apprentice at the shop of Jean-Marie, who was near the Casino.
There he learned the craft and, after military service, it will play in Barcelona, ​​after the beginning of 1980 opened his barbershop in Totana, first on Avenida Santa Eulalia and then where is still in Pilar Street, although now run by his son and daughter.
In Totana everyone knows by Joaquin on the Cabañuelas, for their ability to predict the time domain through the observation of nature, art that met his father but, as he himself, improved and perfected with personal contributions .
Also many knew his ability to work the rush, because in the barbershop or on curious seen showcase pieces woven with absolute mastery.
We had also talked about his love of hunting, but did not know his inventions to capture live partridges, for viewing and admiring its plumage and then soltartas quietly and can keep flying and raising ... However what has fascinated us has been his role in cutting the stone: we marveled at the carved stone chain a great master, or stone mortars of various sizes and with various decorative motifs ... We also surprised her drawing that showed from very small, because according to the hand always carried a notebook and a pencil in his pocket, and drew everything that caught his eye ...
Joaquin Castillo We discovered that, as a new Ulysses is able to engineer, to create, to learn, to discover and make use of everything around him.
It is a Renaissance man himself, to whom all interested and able to find ways to understand, to comprehend and to improve on nature.
For all that, today I propose a Bachelor of Honor IES Juan de la Cierva from Totana to Don Joaquin Castillo López, with all that involves the treatment of "dominus" as respectable and model for students in our center and to all citizens of Totana.
Let's listen now to the wise words of our director, Juan Manuel Martinez Perez, who will bring us even closer to the capabilities of our new Bachelor of Honor. "
