About Me

Hi, my name is Edwin Raya and I’m a rookie blogger. I’m not really sure what goes into one of these but I’ll try to give it my best. I’m currently in my second year as a Statistics Major. I have lived all of my life in Sacramento, California before coming to UCSB. Transitioning to Santa Barbara wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. Every friend I have made in the past year has played a role in my life that I just can’t get over. I have a wonderful family at home as well as an awesome family here at UCSB. They are the ones who keep me motivated and on track with my studies. The ones who have shaped me into the person I am today. Without them, I wouldn’t be able to get up in the morning. When it comes to this class, I look forward to the challenges of writing as well as getting to know my fellow peers.  

Ever since elementary school, my favorite classes have revolved around the world of mathematics. That same passion I saw as early as in my childhood followed me throughout high school and has led to where I am today. I simply love math, inside and out. I don’t really want to get into any specifics about my future but all I can say is that I’m thinking big. With the help of my friends and some hard work, I will attain my goals. My experiences brought on by my school have undoubtedly shaped my visions. My friends, coworkers, and classmates are all part of the environment that is molding me into who I am supposed to become and ultimately preparing me to be a contributor to the rest of the world.

If you have made it this far, I’d like to thank you for taking your time to read my weird blog.
