https://padlet.com/mendezbenito11/bennys_wall Hello everyone, my name is Benito Mendez or you can call me "Benny". I'm a Kinesiology major with a concentration in Teacher Education. (Here's a some information about me!) en-us 2017-08-26 16:39:05 UTC 2025-10-13 22:16:42 UTC hello@padlet.com mendezbenito11 https://padlet.com/mendezbenito11/bennys_wall/wish/182940435 I love to coach and have been coaching youth soccer for six years now! I coach at my local community league and enjoy making a difference in the community. I don't live in the best of neighborhoods and that is why I help these children stay off the streets. There is gang violence and some criminal activity in my community, but I want to help change that. I do this for free and I feel that I have had a positive impact in these children's lives. ]]> 2017-08-26 16:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mendezbenito11/bennys_wall/wish/182940435 mendezbenito11 https://padlet.com/mendezbenito11/bennys_wall/wish/182940560 I plan on graduating next year and complete all my pre-requisites  for the Teacher's Credential Program at CSUF.

I have two sisters and one brother along with two amazing nephews. My family is my biggest motivator in wanting a higher education. I'm the first one in my family to attend college. My brother is in college now as well. This photo is the only photo I could find where my family was all together because we all have busy lives, but are still a united family. ]]> 2017-08-26 17:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/mendezbenito11/bennys_wall/wish/182941594 mendezbenito11 https://padlet.com/mendezbenito11/bennys_wall/wish/182941910 My biggest passion is soccer and my favorite team is Manchester United. I love what they represent as a team and they're the most followed soccer team in the world. They hardly come to the United States since they play in Europe. When they do come to Los Angeles, CA I go to as many games as I can. ]]> 2017-08-26 17:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mendezbenito11/bennys_wall/wish/182941910 mendezbenito11 https://padlet.com/mendezbenito11/bennys_wall/wish/182942212 I have two nephews one is 5 (Jayden) and the other one is only 5 months old (Andrew).
