Twenty year old Queens, New York native, Edwin Torres is on his third (non consecutive) year at York college. While undecided about what he’d like to do after college (he’s the first to disclose he’s extremely easy going and lazy) he knows one thing. He’d like to graduate. Currently Edwin is working on a B.S. in environmental health science. EHS is the study of human disease in connection to the environment. For those that meant to google it and now won’t have to.

He tells me it’s a thing that happens to all boxers. In fact Fudge lived years beyond it’s expectancy.

Mentioning competitive one-on-one fighting video games has his favorite genre. He’s counts the crossover video game Marvel vs. Capcom as his favorite.

Cortes showed up to the Aztec’s land planning on conquering it to be part of Spain. He did not want to negotiate with the Aztecs, he just wanted their land, with or without them. The Aztecs thought that he was a God and gave him extreme amounts of gold when he first arrived, but that did not satisfy Cortes. Cortes held a meeting with the leader of the Aztecs, Montezuma, and captured him, causing the Aztecs to fight the Spanish to get their leader back. Once the Spanish started to make a move to defeat the Aztecs, they realized that they were all dead or extremely ill. This was because the Aztecs were not immune to the Spanish diseases that came into their land, spreading over their people. Cortes eventually got the Aztec land, making it a part of Spain.
