Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: My names Antonio and i’m 18 years old. I love to play video games and talk with my friends, and am currently coming to community college for a manufacturing degree. Something personal about me, I struggle with social situations, and it’s hard for me to start or keep conversations going. I also struggled with weight issues, but now I have lost 80lbs and love going to the gym every day.

What Inspires You Every day? : What inspires me is seeing the mistakes of other people around me, and knowing I can do better. Also seeing what others have done with their life, so I can work towards a certain goal. 

What is some words of wisdom you live by?:Some things you can’t change, and you can’t get mad at that. One example of many from my life is asking a girl out, which took a lot for me, and being rejected. Although that sucks a lot, what can you do? Simple things like that you gotta take a second to realize that there’s nothing to be done, and eventually you gotta just smile it off. 

What is your ultimate goal in life? : My ultimate goal is to be able to support my mom and dad financially so they don’t have to work, or struggle for money. I have little plans along the way to complete that goal, but that is what I’ve always wanted to do.

What is a positive message you would like to give others? : Be yourself. It’s said a lot but that’s because it means a lot. If you’re not comfortable with who you are, you will hate yourself. I know. It’s important to not care about what others think of you.

What questions would you like to ask others?:Why have you continued this far in life to get to this point? What keeps driving you every day?
