Hello! My name is Jesse Rodriguez and I am a senior here at UNC! I don’t really have any astronomy experience other than the occasional Netflix documentary. I am a Nutrition major and hoping to get into a second degree Nursing program here in the spring. I’ve pretty much always wanted to be in healthcare since I was a kid and I love Nursing because of it’s flexibility.
I am hoping that I am able to get an “A” in this class and to expand my knowledge of the Cosmos. I am fascinated by the Cosmos because it is extremely interesting to study and one day I hope I can share this knowledge my children when they start asking questions about the cosmos. One area that particularly interests me is Black Holes. This interests me because I want to know more about why they exist and if they are any threat to humankind. I am also interested in the mission to colonize other planets. I feel like humankind will set foot on Mars sometime in my lifetime.
