Good Friends and Good Times

Friendly Reunion
Friendly Reunion

I had already posted a picture before, but to fulfill the request of Drabik, here is one with a better shot of my face. I love all these people in this photo so much and it was a such a joy to see them again after almost two months being separated. We exchanged weird college stories, college frustrations, ate good food, laughed and even started to plan who’s going to who’s campus next semester.  Just a few more weeks until we can all relax and see each other again. JUST A FEW MORE WEEKS EVERYONE. LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Antonio Lopez

11041807_10205471315049645_3165344296238346896_nHi, my name is Antonio Lopez. I am from Uniondale, Long Island. For the majority of my childhood, I went to a private middle school in Westbury, Long Island. There is where my passion for science began as I was able to work with Stony Brook medical students and construct a presentation, paper, and experiment of my choosing. It was the most challenging and rewarding long term project I had ever done.

The music wing of Uniondale High School is what launched my interests of music and performance. I would hear our jazz band free-form practice, Discuss music and artists with music students, and, most importantly, it is where I began my involvement with the Rhythm of the Knight Show Choir. I sang, acted, and danced all at once with my show choir. I performed in Lincoln Center, the Arie Crown Theatre, and the Hammerstein Ballroom- just to name a few. It was the most eye-opening experience I had. As a result, I have a huge passion for dancing and acting.

These are the reasons why i want to pursue a double major in Biology and Theatre. I love learning about the sciences and I love to act and perform.

The picture I included was taken at Lincoln Center this past march for the FAME show choir competition. That performance was one of my proudest moments with my team and for myself. The audience loved us so much. If you can’t tell, I’m the one wearing the white poofy wig, jumping in the air.

Stevie… Live!

I thought I would share one of my favorite live performances of an artist! This short clip of Stevie Wonder shows his sense of humor, his genius as a musician and it also includes one of my favorite melodies.  There is just something very soothing about it- I always listen to it when I want to relax.
