Hobbies
Soccer (Futbol) is my number one favorite sport. I have fallen in love with the sport ever since the second grade, which was when I joined my first soccer team. I have played on a team for 14 years of my life. I believe soccer has shaped me into the person I am today. Through this sport I was able to learn about teamwork, responsibility, determination, respect, passion, and so much more. I believe sports are a great way to learn about yourself and your strengths. I believe this is a sport that I could play for the rest of my life.
Snowboarding has become a sport that I have grown to respect very much. It is a great sport to embrace one’s thoughts. I think about many life issues while I snowboard. It is quite peaceful and exhilarating at the same time. I have snowboarded for about 12 years now and I plan to continue honing my skills in this sport.
Technology has become a huge part of our everyday lives. During my free time online I have the tendency to research new emerging technologies. Normally, focusing on productivity for my macbook pro. A small example includes implementing Parallels, which is a useful virtualization application that allows me to run multiple virtual machines on the macbook pro. In the end, Parallels problem solved the issue of compatibility. Now, I have the freedom to download and run Apple applications or PC applications without hesitation.
Traveling has always been a passion of mine. I realized that getting out of my own comfort zone is the best way to see how I will interact with my surrounding peers and how I manage problems whatever it may be. I have travelled to China, Taiwan, and South Korea for an internship with ICSN Group. I believe visiting China and Taiwan was a huge culture shock to me. Not being able to communicate might have been the biggest obstacle but understanding the culture, lifestyle, and ethics is what I gained in return. I also, studied abroad in Rome, Italy. This was an eye opening experience because of the extended amount of time I lived in Rome. Everyday I was exposed to the culture and lifestyle. At first I had no clue what siesta was and thought of it as counter productive for a business. But sometimes it isn’t about what I think it’s about embracing the change. Overall, traveling is indeed a great experience and I would encourage it to all. It helped me get through problems one step at a time and allowed me to understand myself a little more everyday.
