My name is Anthony Perugini and I am from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I use the regular school email at aperugini18@jcu.edu . Because I am the third, named after my grandfather, it was always easy just to be called Tony.  I have a great passion for football specifically but in the realm of sports/athletics as well. Dieting and fitness has become a large part of my life partially to enhance my athletic performance but to look and feel great as well. I have always seemed to do very well in the sciences, hence my double major, but have always either struggled or did not enjoy most english courses I took. In the long run I plan on either being a Pediatric Surgeon or become a Biomedical Engineer.

I have always done great working together with people. In those situations, through human interaction, I seem to take from the discussion a lot more than if it were more singular efforts. I am a relatively open and personable person, it does not take a lot for me to strike up a conversation with someone.

The internet has to be the single greatest technological advancement in history. It allows us to be connected in so many different ways. We can now keep up with people even if they are thousands of miles away through social media sites such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. We can locate a plethora of information just through a simple search on google instead of having to go to different libraries to try and find the specific information that we need. We can keep up to date on news or other events that we may have missed. To me social justice means social equality. No person should be treated differently for having a different color skin, a different sex, or come from a different standard of living. Everyone should get an equal opportunity; it is what we do with that opportunity that defines who we really are. Some of the main social justice issues are racism, sexism, and poverty. I have tried my hardest to avoid many of the stereotypes that are related to social injustice. Working a lot in the inner city of Fort Wayne, I had first had experience proving that everyone is the same no matter what situation or financial standings you come from.  Everyone deserves an equal opportunity. We should all be held to the same standards and if we meet those standards then we deserve that opportunity.

Some of the questions I would like to know is where the Professor would like the course to go, specifically what areas he would like to focus in on. Along with that I would like to hear everyone's true opinion on things such as racism and sexism. It would be interesting to see how our views or ideals vary from person to person since we are all coming from different areas across the country.
