Who are you? Why are you here?

Hi, my name is Salmaan Sultan and I was born in San Diego, California. After my father recieved a job offer from General Electric Health Care my family moved all the way to Howard County, Maryland. I completed my elementary, middle, and high school education in Howard County. I basically know most of the town, so If anyone ends up visiting Howard County in the near future I can steer you around pretty well. I have two brothers whom are currently in Medical School and one sister who is working for a financial firm in New York City. The one sport which I have consistantly/competitively played throughout my life is tennis. I have played in numerous junior and amateur tournaments all along the mid atlantic. Tennis is a passion which I hope to carry with me for the rest of my life. One of my older brother's Shan used to work as a DJ at a popular night club in Washington D.C. and has recently got me interested into mixing/scratching records together and deejaying parties. Before he left to med school he gave me his turntables as my graduation present, so over the summer I worked as a DJ for mostly sweet 16 birthday parties and graduation parties. Over the summer I worked at J Crew in one of the local malls. Working at J Crew really improved my social skills and self confidence. I applied to UMBC because several people told me it had a excellent economics program. I decided to enroll for this class because I'm interested in different forms of communication throughout the media. My main goal in life is to hopefully go to a grad school and earn a masters degree.
