Hobbies / Activities

I enjoy playing all kinds of sports, especially basketball.  I enjoy running or going on a bicycle ride to different places.  Ever since I became certified, scuba diving has become one of my newest hobbies.  In addition to scuba diving, traveling all over the world will soon become another hobby of mine.  I believe in community service, since it is good to help out the community.  I attend a Catholic church and spend time helping the church community any way possible.  I have also joined a Latino Fraternity to learn about different cultures and travel to different parts of the country.

Why Did You Attend SJSU?

I attended SJSU because I wanted to major in Aviation and I had heard that SJSU had the best Aviation program in California at an affordable price.

What Is Your Favorite Class At SJSU?

My favorite class at SJSU was a scuba diving class.  I was able to learn something new and adventurous and I was able to get an advanced certification through the school.  Now I can go scuba diving any where in the world, thanks to the professor and the school.

Who Is Your Favorite Professor At SJSU?

I have four favorite professors, which are:  Professor Franks (Scuba Diving), Professor Huang (Aviation), Professor Batalha (Physics) and Professor Sanders (LLD).

What Are The Highlights of Your SJSU Experience?

My biggest highlights here at SJSU have all taken place in the 2005 academic year.  During the 2005 academic year, I joined a Latino Fraternity, became part of freshmen Student Orientation and Leadership activities and became a Student Ambassador.  These three opportunities have increased my experience here at SJSU greatly.

Who Is Your Hero, Idol or Mentor?

My first hero is my mom who has always been there for me and got me to college by herself.  My second hero is God who has always looked out for me and has guided me in the right direction.

What Are Your Plans For The Future?

My plans for the future are to become a very successful man working any where in the Aviation field and becoming a pilot at the same time.  If I do not become a pilot for career purposes, then I will pursue it as a hobby.  Once I am settled with my career, I want to get married and start a loving family.
