About

I am only child and first in my family to attend a University and studying for Civil Engineering. My strength is my stubbornness, meaning if there is a task that I am given I will focus on the task until completion; and if I need to redo the task I will redo it until it is right or if changes are need to be made. I will not complain if I have to work on my days off. I don't see the workplace as a place to work; I see my fellow workers, my managers, and my bosses as my family. And just as my real family I'll be there for them when they need me.

Goals and interests

Career goal

My job path is to work for a Civil Engineering firm after I completed my Bachelor Degree. In the future I hope to start my own Civil Engineering firm.

Graduate school interests

After I obtain my Bachelor Degree, I think about going to Grad School after I'm more secured.

Outside the classroom

I like to read Japanese Comic Magazines and animation shows on the weekend. I help my mom on her handmade crafts. When I have the chance or in vacations I jog at a park for two hours. I play with my three dogs and take them out to walk. On Sundays and on occasions were my mother has the day off from work we go to church. Almost every night I read the Bible in the morning before I start my day and just before I sleep to forget all the stress and frustrations of the day. In my free time I write books of sci-fi, historical sometimes mix both genres together and make stories of what pops into my head.
