The Urban Experience Magazine Welcomes... Arturo Rodriguez Hello readers, Allow me to introduce myself! My name is Arturo Rodriguez and I am elated to announce myself as an intern for The Urban Experience Magazine for the next few months. I was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs but have spent most of my life in the small town of Warrenville, Illinois. In my family, I am the youngest of 4, and the only boy to be born. Most of my family come from Mexico; my mom is from Monterrey, and my Dad is from Puebla. In 2018, I graduated from Wheaton Warrenville South High School in Wheaton, Ill. Later that year, I moved to Des Moines, Iowa to continue my education at Drake University. Currently, I am in my Senior year, majoring in both English and digital media productions. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy reading and writing, playing video games, watching and analyzing movies, and hanging out with my friends. I am huge comic book nerd, who also likes to watch the on-screen adaptations of comic book stories. Another one of my favorite pastimes is watching basketball, mostly Chicago Bulls basketball. Now that I have given you all a bit about myself, I want to reiterate how excited I am to be working with The Urban Experience Magazine. The organizations mission to educate, empower and promote leadership with its readers stuck with me. Oftentimes, when I write, I always try to give readers a new perspective. I don’t just focus on telling a story, but I try to make it a conversation. I want you to read every word I write and hear my voice. Overall, if you take away anything useful from my writing, then I know that I have done my job right. These next few months at The Urban Experience are going to be a lot of fun. I am excited to be featured in this magazine and write alongside some amazing people. Keep an eye out for my name on future articles that will be feature in this magazine. It is honor and privilege to be writing for all of you. Thank You! Arturo Rodriguez
