Hi. My name is Maria Flores.
- 00:03 - 00:04
I'm 18.
- 00:05 - 00:07
I will be turning 19 this year in May.
- 00:07 - 00:08
So I'm excited.
- 00:10 - 00:14
Um, I'm Salvadorian, and I was born in a Salvador.
- 00:15 - 00:18
Um, I moved to California, and I lived there from
- 00:19 - 00:21
when I was about one to about 10 years old,
- 00:22 - 00:25
and then we moved here to Texas, and I've been
- 00:25 - 00:32
here ever since u m I graduated from Cyprus Park
- 00:32 - 00:34
High School last year, and I was actually a part
- 00:34 - 00:37
of the first graduating class, so that was pretty fun.
- 00:38 - 00:42
Um, ever since I was a little girl, I knew
- 00:43 - 00:46
I wanted I want to become an engineer when I
- 00:47 - 00:47
grew up.
- 00:48 - 00:52
Um, as of right now, I'm not 100% sure on
- 00:53 - 00:55
what specific field I'd like to pursue.
- 00:57 - 01:01
But, um, if I had to choose one right now,
- 01:01 - 01:07
I say I'm leaning more towards chemical engineering because I
- 01:07 - 01:11
think it would be really fun and interesting to be
- 01:11 - 01:18
ableto to create, um, medicine or medical devices from scratch
- 01:19 - 01:23
and be able to improve the quality of life for
- 01:23 - 01:23
some people.
- 01:25 - 01:31
Um, some of my of my hobbies, I'd say, um,
- 01:32 - 01:35
spending time with friends and family and going on road
- 01:36 - 01:38
trips and small adventures.
- 01:40 - 01:43
U m Some things I'm good at.
- 01:44 - 01:47
I just say I'm a pretty good problem solver.
- 01:48 - 01:55
You m I like working with numbers and math and
- 01:55 - 01:56
I'm a pretty good cook.
