Me

My name is Leonardo Blanco, and I am a junior at Whitney M. Young Magnet High School. I am involved in the Band program, and soon I will be joining Jazz to play the saxophone. As you have figured out, I have an affinity for music, and in my free time, I play the saxophone and piano, and also I am attempting (but failing) to learn to play the guitar. Once I'm finished with music, I spend the rest of the day on the internet or I take much-deserved naps, but obviously that's after I do my homework (supposedly that's how it works). Anyway, although science seems to be my favorite subject, I am looking forward to English with Mr. McCarthy this year, because in the few days that have passed, my perspective on the works of others has started to evolve so that I am able to analyze them more explicitly. I hope that I eventually have a deep understanding of Beowulf, so that I can rethink how I perceive poetry. I usually read fantasy fiction and nonfiction, but not poetry. Even if it still doesn't become my reading of choice, I will be aware that there are different types of  literature with different purposes, which let people expand their ways of thinking so they can continue making society more knowledgeable with every passing moment.
