My name is Matthew Rodriquez. I am now a sophomore in college. However, college is not the only struggle I encounter in my life. My hobby has caused me to face many obstacles in my life besides school. I have faced many opponents blocking my way to my dreams. I’ve learned to wear headgear to keep myself safe and on track with what I need to do. On my free time I like exercising and occasionally go on a diet for a specific deadline.  I like pins of all kinds, as long as they are for me. I tend to be a competitive person, so my hobby has taken a toll on me for not allowing defeat. I think of it as a good thing because no matter what I do, I always strive to do my best. At the end of the day, hopefully I come out as the winner and get my hand rose. I look forward to working team all of you.
