Blog 1


My name is Brad, I am a senior psychology and sociology major and this is my last semester at UMBC. I was born and raised in Baltimore City and moved to Abingdon, MD in my junior year of high school. The last two years were spent with long commutes to Poly to finish at the same high school. Driving has become a large part of my life ever since. My full time job requires me to take service calls all over the state of Maryland and not to mention the hull from my house to UMBC everyday. One of my passions in life is SCUBA diving. I teach SCUBA under Steve Deem at UMBC and other colleges in the Baltimore area. Until recently America only was the east coast for me. At the end of August I made my first adventure off the east coast to Vegas. America is the land of opportunity and diversity in my opinion. Even though I have traveled very little and never left the country I can see the diversity in American culture. I also believe that if you work hard enough and want it enough you can accomplish anything.
