About
My name is Christopher Medellin and am currently an undergraduate student at the University of Texas at San Antonio studying Philosophy with a minor in History. I am fascinated by philosophy and History because history is an important part of the human experience and offers perspectives into how we can live better lives. As for philosophy, I have devoted much of my life to searching for knowledge. The goal of all philosophers is to search for truth and wisdom which is why I mostly study philosophy. In the last couple of years, I have interned with the c city of San Antonio and have volunteered in the community, which exposed me to other areas of interest and the need to help others. I have made the dean's list for the last couple of years and am always interested in learning more and making good connections for my future.
