Me

Hey everyone!

I am Carlos Alberto Peña, a first year here in UCSB as a Pre-Comm major. I am from Pomona, CA, down in the Los Angeles Area. My passion is soccer—the real football—and I hope to make it as far as I can with the sport. As of right now I have made t as far as to the club level here in UCSB, hopefully I can make it to the Division I team within the next few years. I affiliate myself to a few different teams, all in different countries of course. I am an LA Galaxy, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chivas de Guadalajara and Juventus supporter. Why do I love the sport so much? I believe there is nothing like it. I strongly believe that you learn so much from football; for example, you learn passion, technique, quick thinking, control, and balance. I have never seen a sport with more passion than football, and I do not think I ever will. I love listening to Frank Sinatra—and similar artists like him such as Dean Martin and Nat King Cole—I just love the classic feel and the soothing sensations I get from listening to this kind of music. Odd enough, I do not know where my love for this music came from, I just started listening to it. Another cool fact about me, I think it is cool, is that I enjoy reading comic books—mostly DC Comics like Batman, Superman, Green Arrow and so on. I hope to someday try to create or work with DC Entertainment so that I can have a say on a television show or movie. That is one of the reasons as to why I chose to be a Comm major. A communications degree can help me get into many different areas that I enjoy. I love the film and media area, sports broadcasting, sports reporter, and publicity and i believe the communication degree will lead me in the right direction.

Sinceriously,

Carlos Alberto Peña
