1. Where are you from?

● I was born and raised in the United States but ethnicity wise I’m Latino from

Mexico

2. What do you define as success?

● What I find as success is being able to take care of others in not even a financial way,

but in a way where you can be someone’s good friend, someone dependable to those

you care about

3. What do you define as failure?

● This one is a little harder just because I don’t believe it’s ever too late to change things

up for yourself. I feel like it’s better to say you can’t become a failure but you definitely

could have done things differently in the past that would have made you consider you a

“failure”

4. What will you do after college and why did you decide to go?

● Once I’m finished with college that’s when I will hopefully get a job and then save up to a

point where I can afford my own place. advance in my career. I decided to go to college

because I felt like it was the best stepping stone to achieve my goal.

5. What is your favorite thing to do?

● My favorite thing to do is study, study about everything.

6. Where do you see yourself in five years?

● This I don’t think I ever will know, I’m a firm believer that certain things are predestined,

so whatever hit me was never supposed to hit me and whatever missed me was never

supposed to hit me.

7. Are there any events in your life that inspired you to your goal?

● For a long time I thought that trying to be better than everyone else was the way for me

to achieve what I wanted in this world, but at one point I spent time with those next to me

who were better than me but had humility and showed me by their character that you

could be better. I wish I had learned that earlier.

8. What did you learn from this experience?

● Just live your life, everything happens for a reason. I don’t see why you should worry

about the small things in the world. But we should deal with our responsibilities when

needed.

9. Do you have people supporting your goals in life?

● Yes I have good friends and family to be with and I’m very happy. I’m glad with the

people around me and I try to be grateful.

10. What motivates you to do well?

● It’s a lot of things, motivate me, whether that’s family, my future, my friends or anything

else that I can’t think of right now. Everything that I do though is to better myself though.

11. What’s your favorite hobby?

● I enjoy working out because it’s beneficial to my health, even if I do it once a week or

something.

video games all night.
