Hello, class, my name is Oscar Macedo. I am a first-year Electrical Engineering student from San Jacinto, California. My parents are both from Mexico; my father is from Jalisco, and my mother is from Nayarit. I have many interests that tend to vary. I really enjoy watching and playing sports, primarily soccer. Soccer was a major part of my life for many years, as I’ve played it for many years. Many of my happiest moments that I’ve had were through soccer and the memories shared with my teammates. Especially during my high school soccer days, a lot of meaningful moments will be remembered.

Some of my other interests consist of music; music is a really big part of my life. Any time you might see me, an AirPod might be in, listening to something. I appreciate all types of music and don’t discriminate against any genre. Music has this ability to make me happy; even if it’s sad music, just listening to it makes me content. This is thanks to my parents, who have raised me with their very distinct types of music that helped keep an open mind when it came to it.

The communities I belong to tend to vary as of recently since I came to college, it expanded drastically, as seen in how I now belong to the Tenochca community dorm (T-Nasty) or even the engineering community. These are all new changes that I have had to adapt to in my life. However, back home, the communities were similar and stayed the same, as it was home, school, and work. For my school community, I belonged to San Jacinto Valley Academy, where I spent twelve years there and even graduated from there. Even though I hated it there at the time, I am thankful for all the memories it gave me. My work community was a construction company that built scaffolding. Scaffolding is a temporary structure used in construction that goes high up. I spent a couple of years working there whenever I had the chance. It was an amazing place where I learned many life lessons. However, it was extremely hard work, and labor were I would be completely dead every day. My father always tells me to study and focus in school because of “Las tablas te esperan” which means the planks are waiting for you. That’s my father’s way of saying to study as best I can becauses their are harder things in life.
