About Alexander Lewis

Hey everyone, my name is Alexander Lewis. I am a freshman here at Nichols, and I play on the men's ice hockey team. I was born and raised in Canada. Originally from the east coast, my family and I moved to the city of Toronto where I have lived the majority of my life. I am a General Business major and I hope to go into a profession involving law. My biggest hobby is playing hockey. It is a large part of Canadian culture to play hockey, and I have been playing my whole life.

My favourite team is the Montreal Canadiens.
Coming from Toronto, being a Canadiens fan is a sin, and I never hear the end of the harassment from my friends from back home. My father was born in Montreal and I grew up watching them,  and its a cause of many heated arguments.

Although its people gave me a hard time for my hockey affiliations, growing up in Toronto was an unreal experience for me. I was given the opportunity to learn a lot about many different cultures. It is among the most multicultural cities in the world. Just by my house, I was at a corner where China Town, Little Italy, and Little Portugal all met. The kind of people I met, the festivals I attended, and the foods I ate while in Toronto offered me an amazing experience. Over the summer, there is a different festival every weekend. From the Tastes of Danforth (a Greek Festival) to the Junction Arts Festival (a street fair to show case amateur artists), I as able to learn a lot and see so many cool things. I am very grateful for the city I grew up in. Feel free to check it out for yourself: http://www.toronto.ca

I am for the first time moving away from the city I grew up in, and it has been a hard adjustment for me. I like to keep up with news from back home, and I often read the Torontoblog. It has updates and news from around my community. I like to keep up with things so I am not behind when I go back home Here is a link to the blog: http://www.blogto.com/

For this course I want to be able to have a better understanding of computers and technology. In the professional world we are living in today a clear understanding of technology is the key to being successful. I hope this class offers us those tools to move us ahead in the working world
