Howdy!
My name is Erik Granados and I'm an Urban Planning major from Austin, Texas. But more importantly, I'm a loud and proud member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2015. At this point in time, I'm not completely sure as to what I want to do after graduation. I have though about becoming a bilingual education teacher. I have also loved the idea of working with The City of Austin's planning department. Austin is my hometown which I completely love, and would love to go back and work making the city an even better place. When ever I have free time I read a few of the articles in this page to see how much Austin is improving. Follow the link below to read some articles if intersted.
I have also thought about maybe even getting my masters in Land and Property Development. I mostly want to get a different perspective of what planning is. Most of the classes I have taken for urban planning have been mostly about sustainability and social issues. I think it'll be fun to see a different side to planning.
A little bit more about me, I like to dance and workout on my free time. An interesting thing about myself is that I dance folklorico. Folklorico is the traditional Mexican dancing usually depicted with women in big colorful dresses, and men in big sombreros. This past summer, I began running, and I now love it. I will be running my first 5K sometime this semester. The top thing in my bucket list, is to someday be able to do a triathlon.
I'm glad to be in this class and I'm excited to see what new things I will learn this semester.
