Hello everyone! I am Antonio Vasconez, and I am currently a UNT freshman majoring in mechanical and technology engineering.
Aspirations
I want to graduate and get a job in an enterprise that works towards improving the environment by giving people ecological services for the ecosystem’s benefit. I want to work in a job where I can fix things and find solutions to problems. Personally, I like to be challenged and get better every day. I also want to travel the world and explore different cultures to learn more about the world’s diversity.

Fun Facts
I am a huge Cristiano Ronaldo fan. I started watching football when I was 7, and since then, he has been my idol for almost everything. I have 10 of his jerseys, 5 pairs of soccer boots he used, and something crazy is that I copied his signature when I was ten, and I've been using it my whole life without realizing it. My dream is to watch him play in person at least once before he retires.
How does the project relate to you?
I think this project is very well related to me. As I said before, I am majoring in engineering, and I think that everyone who is going to work in an enterprise needs to know how to work with other people to reach the same goal. I hope to learn the skills needed to communicate with others and learn from everyone to achieve a good result in an efficient and effective way.
