Fernando Alvardo Blohm


Today was the first day of our class at CELOP the E050 English for Academic Purposes, Having students from different parts of the world adds more to the fact that most of us joined this class seeking to further improve our grasp of the English language. It's more like a window from which we can look at scenes from different parts of the world at one glance.

Next to me in the class today was Fernando Alvardo Blohm who is a Venezeulan who wants to become an engineer and he has already choose a career in geophysical engineering. He came to Boston about three weeks ago and finds the experience so far to be joyful and exciting. Fernando is aiming to develop his English language skills so he'll be able to apply to study the major he wants here in Boston. From the first day, it was obvious how enthusiastic he was about the CELOP experience, where usually it may take some people time to adjust and adapt to their new surroundings, he seemed to be doing pretty well in socializing with classmates and vividly participating in class; he is a guy with delightful personality.

His hobbies are numerous, like photography and with good computer skills he's also into graphic designing and editing images, He enjoys walking and jogging - which would definitely not be without thei as it is his “favorite musical instrument” - he likes different genres of music like inditronic and rock, he's also a huge movie fan; his favourite movie is "Requiem for a Dream". Fernando has travelled to many countries in South America; went to the UK and speaks different languages besides Spanish, and recalls Cancun, Mexico, as his favourite place. He enjoys adventurous activities because of the "adrenaline rush" and he hopes that one day he can do skydiving.
