Jaime Vasquez

My name is Jaime Vasquez, I am a 17 year old senior attending Weslaco East High School, in Weslaco, Texas. I am currently the captain of the varsity basketball team and a three-year letterman. I became a member of the National Honor Society my junior year and am continuing my senior year. I was selected Rotary Club Student of the Month for the month of November and will be giving a speech at the event. I am currently ranked number seven in my class of about 460 students, which places me in the top 2%.

I plan on attending the University of Texas at Austin and studying in the field of Biology in the College of Natural Sciences. Looking further into the future, I plan on applying to medical school after my expected three years in Austin. Upon completion of medical school, I would like to seek a career path in the field of radiology. My dreams include owning a large house with available land to own a ranch of my own. Best case scenario, I hope to be able to retire after only about 10 to 12 years in the medical practice and spend most of my time with my family.
