About Me:
My name is Cesar Javalera. I am currently a senior at Chapin High School in El Paso, Texas, where I'm enrolled in the Pre-Engineering Magnet Program. I will be graduating this June. Afterwards, I will be attending the University of Texas at El Paso in the fall of 2023, where I will be pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. I have always been interested in the technical aspect of things, which is why I want to pursue a career in Engineering. In my spare time, I enjoy exercise, reading, socializing, and anything else to keep me a relatively healthy individual.
