Mateo Vallejo

My name is Mateo Vallejo. I am a senior at Weslaco East High School and currently a part of the English Independent Studies Class here. I have a mom, dad, and two sisters. My favorite color is neon green and my favorite tennis player is Rafael Nadal.

I am a part of Interact Club, National Honors Society, Varsity Tennis, Debate, and I recently founded the Union of Students Advocates.

My goal in life is to do something I can never become bored with. I hope that whatever I end up doing will help others in the world and help promote improve society as a whole.

I am very interested in philosophy. I love asking the deep questions that evoke critical thought. In fact, I am currently researching philosophical concepts in order to write a paper on the meaning of life. I believe that if we ask ourselves questions that would never be asked on a random day, we are taking a step forward into a deeper understanding of the world as a whole and our knowledge will rise exponentially. If you can push yourself to understand topics that are infamous for being impossible to fully understand, you can understand anything.
