During his spare time he likes to workout, run, play soccer, and ride his motorcycle. His interest to take the course Muslims in America was provoked from not simply learning more on the Islamic tradition, but in wanting to learn how members of the Islamic faith relate to the sociological and political environment that is set up in America. Given that he takes pleasure in learning views from different cultures, he felt this class could bring something additional to his worldview.

-Adolfo states, "I always tell the truth, even when I lie."
