Daniel Motta

Daniel Motta

Major?

Undecided

Where are you from?

Waukegan, IL

What are a few of your extracurricular activities at Carleton?

Men's Volleyball player and Woman's Varsity Coaching Assistant, KRLX Radio Show DJ, Choir, Latino American Student Organization member.

Song you play (or movie you watch/ or book you read/ etc.) over-and-over? Why?

Black Bird by Sir Paul McCartney, I can't defeat the urge to play it when I'm around a guitar.

Any special talents (walking the tight-rope, juggling fire, etc.)?

My forefathers have passed on a keen hand-eye coordination, allowing me to kick-butt at video games, and some sports. I am very grateful.

What's the one thing you're glad you brought for your first term? Why?

I am really glad that I brought my open-mindedness. As a kid I was not exposed to so many intelligent and well-represented views, and they have truly taken an effect in my life. As an example: I am a college vegetarian--and I broke the freshmen 15 myth.
