My name is Andres Figueroa and I am a freshman at High Tech High International. My three teachers this year are Jocelyn Peck for Math/Physics, Rafael Ancona for Language, and Margaret Egler for Humanities. I have a few goals this year. My most important goal being to learn to write and read much better in Spanish. I also want to read a lot more books. Last but not least, I want to be able to have less difficulties in math. Apart from school, I play sports, video games, and sing. My favorite sports at the moment are soccer and baseball. I have been playing and watching baseball since the age of 7. Something that surprises people is that my favorite genre of music is Metal-core. I like to sing and I would love to start a band. Finally, I see myself going to a great university after I’m done with high school. Hopefully this dream of mine will be achieved and I will be able to celebrate it with my whole family.
