Matthew Saldaña

My name is Matthew Saldaña. I was born in Harlingen, Texas on December 19th 2001 and am the youngest of three children. I am 17 years old and a senior at Weslaco East High School. Before high school I went to Margo Elementary and Mary Hoge Middle School.

My main goal as of right now is to attend Texas A&M University in College Station just like my father and sister have. I can’t until the day that I get to wear an Aggie ring.

My favorite sport is basketball; I played with my school for two years. I enjoy playing basketball more than I enjoy watching it on the television. I enjoy listening to classic rock and country music. My favorite rock artist is the Eagles and my favorite country artist is Jon Pardi.

I have recently found interest in politics as I am reaching the age where I am allowed to vote and participate in the U.S. government. I also enjoy agriculture, I am in Queen City 4-H which is the equivalent to FFA, but not with a school. I have raised goats and rabbits for pretty much my entire life. I have recently been raising laying hens. I have also participated in woodworking.
