My name is Martin Rey Rochin Inda. I am a very curious student at Oakland Unity High School and one of my goals in life is to learn as much as I can in order to see the world as it really is. When I go to UCSB I'd like to check out different subjects since each subject has something interesting to offer. Check out Mr. Z's page to see the kind of critical thinking I'm striving for.







These are the Habits of Heart and Mind. We do not discuss them on a regular basis at school, we actually use them instead. We're taught to take care of ourselves and others, to think critically about things instead of simply accepting them, and connecting things we learn to our own lives.
