A Little About Me

Hello everyone! My name is Giovanni Delgadillo and I am, as all of you are, a freshman at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I come from a small city in the Los Angeles County known as La Puente and I graduated from La Puente High School. During High school I was involved in extracurricular activities such as the DoSomething Club and the Virtual Science Challenge Program. I was also involved in sports such as Cross Country and Track and field. 

I decided to attend UC Santa Barbara because it was offering a lot of good amount of money, it’s a great institution for my major and its near the beach. Initially I wanted to attend UC San Diego because of the same reason and I thought that it would be a better school to choose over the other’s that I’ve applied to for my major but UC Santa Barbara is an exception. I am a pre-bio major but specifically majoring in molecular biology. My career of choice is becoming a medical scientist so I can help in finding cures for many other diseases that are a threat to human life. Overall, I enjoy learning about science.

I enjoy listening to music specifically bands from the 80’s. My variety of music is still quite short although I do love listening to what I listen to. Specifically I love listening to heavy metal bands such as Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, and black Sabbath. I do play guitar but I am still learning how to perfect my playing. I have never gone to concert but I am hoping that I get to see one of the bands that I've listed and others.

My time here in UC Santa Barbara has been pretty god so far. The campus is beautiful and I really enjoy the weather and the sight of the beach. I decided to do FSSP because I just wanted to get an early start for the transitioning to the fall quarter and I also wanted to get some of my General Ed’s finished. So far I haven’t really spoken to a lot of people yet because to be honest I am not really that social. However, once you get to know me you’ll realize I am an awesome person, I hope. I have met some new friends but I am willing to make new ones to.  I am really hoping that we’ll have some awesome years during our time here at UC Santa Barbara.
