I have plenty of nick names: Ping-pong, Yum-Yum, MADMAN, Beast from the Far East; the list goes on. For a first name basis though, you can call me Ben. I am 18 years old, and I've got a lot to see and learn.
I am currently attending Cal Poly Pomona as an undergraduate attempting to acquire my Industrial Engineering degree. Outside of my educational career, I am a part-time recreation aide at the Louie Pompei Memorial Sports Park.
Like many teenagers my age, family and friends come first. They contribute to the person I am, so I am forever indebted to them. Also like many people in my age group, causing trouble comes naturally. But when I'm pinned down by authority and can't visit friends, my attention refocuses on my hobbies - attending to my car, and listening to great music.
Over the years, I have learned a myriad of lessons and of the many, there is a quote that expresses my ideals as an individual - "Don't live for plans; live for the moment."
