Introduction to Me


  Hello, my name is Eric Seldin and I am from Coconut Creek, Florida. I was born in Boynton Beach, Florida but I moved from Boynton Beach to Deerfield Beach when I was little.  I have moved several times in my life, but all in the same state. I moved from Deerfield Beach to Coconut Creek when I entered the 4th grade.  When I entered the 4th grade, I learned that my parents were getting a divorce. It took a huge toll on all of my family. But, as time passed, the emotional stress of the divorce lessened and it made us stronger.  What helped me through the divorce was learning how to cook. Since both of my parents were chefs, they taught me how to cook and I picked up on it very easily. I went to high school in Coconut Creek and I graduate with my class with an NAHS cord. I really enjoyed high school and the experiences I had there. I was generally a good student and got good grades in school. I now go to Florida Gulf Coast University and I couldn’t be any happier. I love that I am going to this school because everyone here is so nice and willing to help each other out. I love where I am living. It is my home away from home. My roommates are really cool as well and I get along really well with all of them. We really like to hang out with each other and the friends that we have made here. I have met so many people who are really out-going as well. I really like going to college because it gives me the right amount of space from my parents. I am looking forward to learning in College as well as wanting the College experience. I feel that being in College so far has really helped me grow up a bit.  I am able to take responsibility for myself. If something happens, it is all on me.  I am also happy because College is teaching me more about myself. I am at Florida Gulf Coast University to receive a Bachelor’s Degree and Resort and Hospitality Management. I have always been interested in hotels as well as resorts and I have always had a fascination of traveling the world. I want to make and own hotels around the world.  I want to incorporate the different cultures into the hotel I run, so, each hotel of mine you go to will be a different experience. I hope this gave you a good description of who I am. I hope you all learn about me as the class goes on and I also look forward to learning about you.
