This page is being written as a requirement for my ENGR0011 class but the content in the page is mine and what is posted is my choice and is not the position of the university and does not reflect on the university policies.
I am Pierangeli Rodriguez and I am 18 years old. I am the only girl and the last of four siblings. I was born and lived my whole life in Caracas, Venezuela, the most beautiful country in the world; unfortunately, I had to leave, and change my home to a very nice city: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I studied in one of the best schools of my city, where I learned lots of things, academically and non-academically, and where I made everlasting and unbreakable friendships.
Moving here was one of the toughest things I have ever made, because I had to leave behind everything that I had, had built or ever was, and say goodbye to my friends, with whom I have spent my last 15 years, to never know when I am seeing them again.
Coming from a family of engineers, I decided to study Materials Science and Engineering because I am interested in materials interactions in a subatomic level, as well as different processes and reactions between different materials. I have always enjoyed studying chemistry, physics and math, and that lead me to select my major, but I also like the humanities and enjoy studying new languages, and the arts, particularly architecture and painting, as well, as stained glass and glass modeling (arts that I have always liked and practice in some occasions).
So, though I like to study science and I do my best for it, as a human being I think it is important to keep cultivating the humanities, in particularly lectures of good materials that help our self-development.
I also like to practice some sports, particularly swimming and Squash, though I also like ping-pong. Regarding watching sports, I love to watch hockey, football and baseball, being a devoted fan of the 3 Pittsburgh teams (the Penguins, the Steelers and the Pirates).
