My name is Alejandro Vega, I am twelve, and in sixth grade.  I homeschool through the Placer County Office of Education Home-study Program.  History is one of my favorite subjects in school.  My favorite part of being a Lego Guard is working on the presentation of our research project.  I really enjoy our coaches, Alan and Heidi, who have been a great help to us, and are just plain great people.  This year has been the best year of my life, and I have expanded my knowledge quite a bit, especially about energy conservation.  I have learned to enjoy the fact that when we are at a competition and when everything goes wrong and breaks down just to have fun.  I really enjoy all of my teammates as well, and i am great friends with all of them outside of LEGO.  My hobbies are bike riding, backpacking, and hanging out with friends.
