Introduction

 My name is Luis Gallegos but I go by my middle name Alfredo. I am currently a sophomore and pursuing to get a bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Psychology. I enjoy swimming, eating, and sleeping. My friends would describe me as random, funny, and hard working. I am originally from Nayarit Mexico; where it is hot year around.  The best part about living in Nayarit was the fact that I lived 10 minutes away from the ocean. I learned to appreciate the ocean and the weather but soon became bored with it. It was too hot and too humid for my liking. At the age of eight I moved to East Los Angeles where I went to school and adapted to my new life. East LA was a big change and learned to love living in a big city. I loved my life in east LA but my mother got a job offering in Colorado. Five years later I moved to Colorado and feel in love with the Colorado cold weather. Not only did I fall in love with the cold weather but I also liked the fact that it was not humid. It was something that I had to get use to but enjoyed the big change.

Spending most of my life in hot tropical places I learned to have an appreciation for colder weather. Making Colorado a perfect place for me to live and love. Because of my obsession with colder weather I decided to choose Antarctica as my geographic landscape. Antarctica is located in the South Pole where temperature can get extremely cold. The coldest weather ever recorded in Antarctica was -89.9 degrees Celsius. Antarctica is the emptiest and coldest place on earth making it a perfect place for me to learn about.
