About Me

About me
My full name is Christopher John Schiazza. I was born on August 13, 1987 in Bloomington, Illinois and moved to Avon Lake, Ohio at the age of 2. Avon Lake is right on Lake Erie and is about 20 minutes driving time from east of Cleveland. I enjoy playing really any sport, and I have played on various teams for pretty much every common sport, such as wrestling, baseball, football, soccer, track, and tennis. However, I enjoy soccer the most and have played it all my life. I love watching the World Cup, and especially when my team, Italy beats France in penalty kicks to win the championship game. My plans for after I graduate in 2010 are to travel to South Africa to watch the next World Cup. I figure it is a once in a lifetime experience and what better time to experience it then being right out of college. My reasoning for liking the Italian team is the main fact that I am Italian. My grandparents are first generation Americans, they came from Italy, well all of them except my grandpa on my mom’s side that came from Ireland, which gives me a quarter Irish. Anyways, I have in fact been to Italy before. I visited northern Italy and southern Germany last summer and plan to return within the next couple of years.
I am a freshman here at Bowling Green State University, this is my second semester. I really enjoyed my first semester and am looking forward to what this school has to offer. As for my major, I am still undecided, but am leaning towards something to do with history. My dream job would be to be the American ambassador to Italy, but I feel this job is few and far between to come by, so therefore my options are still open. However, I am still keeping my hopes up.
I took this class Ethnics 101, really just to fulfill a credit in I do believe diversity; correct me if I am mistaken. I do however hope to gain more knowledge in this field of study. My town is pretty non-ethnical if I should say. It was a mainly a middle to upper class white city. We did not have very much diversity. In my opinion I never really felt that it was either a strength or weakness. I don’t personally realize diversity too much, I am more responsive to culture aspects of a society then what color skin the people are. I like to know where people are from which goes back to my liking for history in the aspect that I like to think of what has occurred in those locations of the world. Take for instance Italians, they are derived from one of the world’s greatest empires, Rome. Everyone has a history to them and where their relatives have come from. That is really my outlook on ethnics, but I do hope to further this outlook for the better.
Anyways to wrap up about me, I like all types of music. There is really nothing I don’t listen to, from techno to rap, with softer music mixed in, then all the way to Frank Sinatra and Elvis. The range is very wide, but I get tired of one type of music very quickly and have to change to another type. At the moment I am going through a country fad which will probably pass quickly, but nonetheless I am enjoying it. Alright the rest of about me has to be figured out in person, so I hope to meet many people in class and find out about them. Till then arrivederci!!!
