Part 4 of our mini biographies. Thanks all for reading and supporting. Enjoy the read!
Interview:
Q1: Where are you from?
Born and raised in good ol’ Missouri. Specifically from Monett, MO.
Q2: Where is your family from? If they are from outside the state, what brought them here?
My family is originally from Zacatecas, Mexico. The lure of the American Dream, a better life for their children, and the unhindered potential to prosper is what brings many people to the United States, and these were also the reasons for why my parents decided to come to this country.
Q3: Are you an observer or a talker?
I am observer. Communication is made up of two parts: talking (the projection of an idea) and listening (the analyzation of that idea). However, very rarely is there a fully engaged listener. Although you are withdrawn from your environment, you are completely engaged in it in a deeper meaning; you respond to it in a deeper level. The most profound effect of being an observer is that you can make sense of everything you see, hear, feel, etc., and, in a way, create your own world of understanding and then project that world to others; whether that projection be an idea, an influence, or even a simple joke.
Q4: What was your favorite childhood television program?
My favorite childhood program is probably either Dragonball Z or Mobile Suit Gundam.
Q5: Are you a morning or night person?
I’m a night owl for sure! I can’t deal with being groggy and tired, so if I’m up, I’m up for a long time. That usually means staying up late at night.
Q6: Are you a collector of anything?
Not currently. If I had the money, I’d probably collect cars!
Q7: What is your favorite food?
Oh, the hardest question! It would either be pizza or Chinese food. Might want to throw in tacos somewhere in that list too!
Q8: What do you do for fun?
I usually just spend time with friends, play some soccer, or anything that has to do with cars!
Q9: List 3 of your best personality traits:
Driven, loyal, observant
Q10: Write in 3-5 sentences a short narrative of a time where you learned something valuable that you’ve applied in your college years.
People come and go in life. Those that come and go, are life lessons; those that do stay, should be cherished. Tomorrow is never promised, so be endlessly grateful for what is now. If you are going to give something a try, give it your all. Half-assed efforts only give you half-assed results. Finally, everything that has a beginning must have an inevitable end…but while you journey to that end, make the journey count.
