Overview
About Me
Hello!!
My name is Alejandro Rivas.My passion is traveling around the world, learning about new cultures. I personally like to meet people from all over the world and learn different languages. I speak Spanish, English and Portuguese and currently learning Arabic (Masri). My favorite hobby is to play volleyball during the summer, and walk my beautiful dogs. I am passionate about what I do, and I know what I want from life. One of my favorite quotes is "Live as if you were going to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were going to live forever."- Mahatma Gandhi. I like helping others, therefore I volunteer during the summers and go abroad to places like Haiti and Panama.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of the most amazing things that I did when I was in High School was to be part of a Student Exchange to Walldorf, Germany. I was the president of the German Exchange club in High School. It was one of the most beautiful experiences that I had. I stayed with a wonderful German family, and I felt part of the family and culture. I also volunteered in Haiti and Panama. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life because it opened up my eyes, and now I have a different perspective about the world.
