Hello my name is Carlos , I am 19 years old. I am from Chicago like actual Chicago not a suburb near Chicago. I live in Albany Park one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the U.S. My nationalities are Cuban, Puerto Rican and Mexican. I am a theater major and an ensemble member at Albany Park Theater Project (APTP). APTP does a lot of ethnography based work and Theater for the Oppressed. APTP takes real life issues and social issues weather it be in politics or life and interview people based on those issues or have connection to it and we take those interviews and turn them into theatrical productions. I have been doing professional theater for 6 years and have performed over 100 shows. Fun Fact I also have preformed at the Goodman Theater in downtown Chicago.

The reasons why I choose this class was this was one of the first classes that I sat in when I was applying for colleges. I fell in love with Holt’s class and I told her if I attend Wooster I want to take her class. I also like history, in a way I love the stories within history. I also want to learn the history of my heritage so I can better understand where I come from. These are more of my main reasons. Last Fun Fact I want to study abroad in Cuba.
