About Me
 
My name is Elvin Aviles.  I'm 27 years old and I live in Jersey City, New Jersey.  My family is of Puerto Rican descent. I teach two classes at The University Academy Charter High School: United States History 1 and The History of Sports.  I've been at UACHS for about a year now and really enjoy working there.  It can be challenging at times, but I really like the environment.  UACHS is affiliated with New Jersey City University, where I am currently trying to earn my masters degree in Educational Technology.  I also teach 11 and 12 year old sunday school at The Cityline Church, where I attend. My fiancé and I (pictured to the left) met eachother in Brazil, and I'm the best thing to ever happen to her . . .  that's going to get me in trouble.
 


My Interests
I like to do a lot of things, in fact there aren't many things that I can say I don't like to do, for some amount of time.  There are two things that I really can't stand.  Musicals and reading.  I know, I know, I'm a teacher and I hate reading.  What can I say?  And as for musicals, well, Jess, I really liked the ones we went to though, it's the other ones that are bad.
My favorite ways to pass time are playing sports, especially basketball, playing video games, watching movies, eating, going to church, traveling, spending time with family and friends, and, most of all, spending time with my beautiful fiancé.
