Hi everyone, I am Aron. I am in my fourth year of undergrad for my BA in English at SDSU, although this is only my second year as I transferred from Southwestern Community College. I was born here in San Diego and it has been my home for most of my life. I truly think it is America’s Finest City.

After I graduated high school, I chose to enlist in the U.S. Army as a medic. I was borrowed and lived a few years in the south, mainly between the Kentucky and Tennessee border, before returning back home to San Diego. A really cool moment in my life came when I lived in Africa for nine months and got to work with a group of children at an orphanage. They were incredibly energetic and smart kids which I had the pleasure of seeing on a near daily basis. They asked to read to me and I with them in our free time together.

I have really struggled with a lot of different aspects of my life since going back to school, including picking the right career path or major. I tried my hand at engineering, nursing, etc, and failed tremendously. I do love reading and writing though, and being able to choose what to think about or why something is important. So, my hope is to one day teach English and reinforce that same thinking, especially in these trying times. Because it is absolutely necessary. I look forward to learning so much from Professor Pressman and everyone this semester!
