Alejandro Vitanza Introduction

Greetings everyone.

My name is Alejandro and I’m majoring in business management. Some of my interests include sports such as golf, kickboxing, soccer and basketball. Listening to music is probably what I enjoy doing the most. I could spend a whole afternoon listening to a good record, which range from rhythm and blues to electronic music and everything in between. To name a few of the artists I enjoy listening to and highly recommend include; Nina Simone, Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Armin Van Buuren, ATB, and the list goes on. I believe music takes an important roll in every ones life. You can tell a persons mood by what they’re listening to, you can change a persons mood by playing some hyped up music, like “You Get What You Give” – from the New Radicals. Enough about music, you can tell I’m a musician, even though I don't play any instruments.

I was born and raised in Honduras, a Central American country with a very wide range on climates and touristic attractions. I lived closed to the north coast, in the city of San Pedro Sula. One of the most important cities of my country I might add, they call it the “Industrial Capital” of Honduras. My family decided to come and reside in the US back when I was still in Junior high, hence we moved to Baton Rouge, FL. The change was radical but my siblings and I had no problem adjusting, I speak on my behalf of course. What I miss the most is probably the food; the beans here in the US are never like those from my country. If any of you do travel a lot, I highly recommend you visit the north coast, including the Bay Islands, which are amazing! Most of the gastronomic menu of my country consists of fried beans, and pot roast, there’s just something about the flavor you wont forget, trust me.

I look forward on taking this English course; since reading is another thing I enjoy doing. I am acquainted with most of the readings assigned to this course and some have been of my interest for some time now, like The Road by Cormack McCarthy.
