My Home Page: Jose L. Contreras

Hello fellow Internet surfer and welcome to my home page. I'm very glad that you made it this far . . . and I hope that you'll stick around long enough to get to know just a little bit more about me and my life. After all, these days, acquaintances that begin in cyberspace are often the most real, vivid, and long-lasting - and maybe that will be true of us.

My Background

I was born in the big city of Caracas - Venezuela, but in 1983 decided to move to Houston, Texas, where I went to the University of Houston and obtained a degree in Computer Science. After graduating from college in 1988, I realized that I love to teach others, and became a Computer teacher. All my family is still in Venezuela. I live in Houston by myself and work as a teacher in an elementary school. I also teach English and Spanish as a second language.

And, before we go any further, just in case (not that I'm looking to get hired, but - just
in case you ARE my big break), here's my resume.

My Interests

I guess that the best - and fastest - way to really get to know me
is by discovering what I like. So here goes . . .
I love to travel, playing with computers, taking pictures of my love ones, and party.
I like to watch movies, but usually I wait until they come out on video. I really hate to sit in the theater for a long period of time

as much time on the Internet as I do - is to learn their favorite sites:
