Assignment#1 First Blog Post

My name is Jan Patrick Villanueva, and I have been called J.P. since first grade at the suggestion of my First grade teacher Mrs. Ericsson. I am 18 years old and currently live in Union City, I have lived there for about 13 years of my life. What I enjoy most is listening to Jazz, Classical Music, Watching Anime, reading Manga, playing Trumpet and Guitar, Building Gunpla "short for plastic gundam models", Playing video games, and using my PC. Currently I have just gotten into playing the guitar, building resin figures or "Garage Kits" and I plan on playing trumpet in a Jazz band once I get a decent class schedule. Two things that I think no one else in the class has accomplished is that I have won 3 WBA "Western Band Association" Marching Band championships, and in 2006 which was my senior year in high school, My associates and I in the James Logan Wind Ensemble were invited to the Ninth Annual National Wind Ensemble In Carnegie Hall in New York, not only to listen to the national wind ensemble but to be featured as a guest ensemble. This event took place during memorial day. I hope to widen my experience in this class by learning about the library and it's on-line features so that I can have another resource that I can use not only for research, but for learning about new things so that I do not have to stay ignorant to what I do not already know about the world's history.
