=Welcome to Mr. Rosas Wikipage!=

=**Mr. Rosas Bio;**= =**Academics;**= =**After high school I pursued a college education in the Bay Area and the Central Valley. At different points in my college career I have studied at UC Berkeley, Fresno State, West Hills College, and Fresno City College. I earned three degrees from Fresno State University; Bacherlors Degrees in History & Chicano Studies (think about it as Mexican-American History) and a Minor in Latin American Studies (history, politics, and culture of Latin America). Afterwards, I earned my California Teaching Credential (license) also from Fresno State. At Fresno State, I graduated with honors and I gave part of the graduation address at the Chicano/Latino Commencement Ceremony in 2002.**=

=**Personal Life;**= =**My family is one of the first Mexican-American families in the Avenal/Kettleman area. Both of my grandfathers were //braceros//, Mexican guest workers who came to the USA beginning in the 1940s during WWII and ending in the 1960s. My mom's side of the family attended school here in Avenal and Kettleman City. My wife is also a teacher. We met in college and she is the most wonderful person in my life. I am a big sports fan. Saturdays' and Sundays' during the fall are reserved for football. I am a huge Fresno State football fan and when football season is over I can't wait for it to start over again. I also enjoy watching Texas, Navy, Air Force, Florida, & Boise State (when they are not beating up on Fresno St.). I would recommend that every football fan watch the Army-Navy game. I was also a huge hockey fan, until the Fresno Falcons went out of business. I will give the Fresno Monsters a chance (I went to a game for my birthday and I had a good time). I love to read. My favorite novel is //Bless Me Ultima.// Usually I read non-fiction books about history. I enjoy watching TV also. I love ESPN, Comedy Central, and the History Channel. I am a music fan, but Tejano/Norteno conjunto music is probably my favorite genre.**= = =
