What's up my name is Alan Castillejos, and I am from Odessa, TX. I am the son of Dr. Javier and Vicki Castillejos and have lived in west Texas my whole life. I grew up basically an only child even though I have two older sisters. Tania, the oldest, is 17 years older than me and Linda, the middle child is 13 years older than me. They both graduated from Texas A&M and are married living their own lives. Even though I never really grew up with them I still remain close to both of my sisters.
I love to play and watch all sports. Throughout my life I have played soccer, football, basketball, baseball, tennis, ran track and cross country. However, once I advanced through High School I had to drop all of the sports except football and soccer. I played football and soccer for the Odessa Permian Panthers, which is also known as the team from the book and movie Friday Night Lights. Now that I am in college I only play one sport for the tigers, soccer. Since I had to choose between the two, I chose the best and my favorite sport in the world.
My secret fact that not very many people know about me is that I am Guatemalan. My family is from their and even though I have never lived their I have dual citizenship between Guatemala and the U.S.A. Guatemala is a very beautiful yet a poverty stricken country. It has many beautiful views as well as over 20 volcanoes. It also has Tikal, the capital for the ancient Mayan civilization which is now extinct. Overall Guatemala is a unique country which I enjoy being a part of. Being a citizen of Guatemala allows me to play soccer for the national team. I am currently on the sub-20 national soccer team and will be qualifying next summer for the u-20 world cup 2011 in Columbia.
I have never really had any computer training other than high school classes. I like computers but have never really had a chance to learn how to use them effectively for research or other things like blogging.
