Q: What did you like to do in your free time?

Q: Where did you like to spend time at?

Q: How would you describe yourself as a 17 year old?
A: Not as good looking as I am now, but probably in better shape.

Q: What did you plan on going to college for?
A: Originally, I wanted to be a history teacher, but I had trouble staying awake in my first two history classes in college, and I was good at Spanish, so I decided to try Spanish.
Q: What was your favorite memory?

Q: If you could go back and change anything, what would it be?

A: Now, I have a wife and two sons, and instead of spending all of my time on myself, I devote all of my time to my children. Plus I have a little bit more money; a little bit.

Q: Do you have any advice for your students?
A: As much as you sometimes feel that you hate school and hate to do your homework, I would work as hard as you can because all of the hard work that you do now in the coming years will decide how much money you make for the rest of your life.
