How would people describe you as a person?

Pretty calm person, chill yeah . That’s from people who just know me but people who like really know me it’s a different thing.

How are you different around people who really know you?

They know how I could be really serious or when I’m really passionate about something, for example photography, they could tell when I actually really care about it compared to like other stuff I don’t care about. You know people can actually see the difference.

What do you do outside of school for fun? Why?

The gym, I want to build muscle, also it’s really good. It helps me focus and like any extra energy I have I use it at the gym and it’s just a big passion of mine.

What Career would you like to pursue? Why?

Drop shipping and photography but mainly drop shipping because it’s going to make me rich quick and faster but photography is just something that’s always going to stick with me because it’s just something that i really found i like taking photos especially it’s a big thing that i could take for my whole life, take photos of my family.

When people get to know you, what are they most surprised to learn about you? 

That i’m not quiet, I like to talk most people think that i’m a quiet kid surprisingly.

What’s on your phone background? Tell us why you chose that. 

My dog. My dog has passed away, one of my neighbors had killed my dog and they actually were making accusations. He was saying that my dog had bitten them and I know my dog didn’t and we never saw blood. He had threatened to whoop my ass. He came to my house and started screaming like a little kid saying some stuff like he wanted to fight me and he was just being racist and he was just acting childish being a grown adult. Being racist because he started making jokes and cussing us out in spanish like he was trying to mock us. I didn’t really pay attention to him. I understand that my dogs ran out the gate but that doesn’t mean you have to go out and kill my dog, that’s why I have him as my background. I grew up with my dog, he was my best friend.

How have you grown from that traumatic event?

It showed me how big of babies people are nowadays and how sensitive and how they can make a big deal out of something so small. Either you could talk one on one like a normal human being instead of trying to kill someone else’s pet. It helped me control my anger because i was going through alot during that time, i wanted to kill his dog out of hatred but i was like, no, i’m not going to gain anything out of that so i just let it go, i moved on. 

Tell us the story about what you are most proud of yourself for. 

Stopped smoking, I have been clean for 2 years, getting close to 3. I did a lot of stuff that was just bad for you, especially growing up. I surrounded myself with a lot of bad people. The people you hang around with you become them. And it ended up happening. First I just wanted to try it, then it led up to wanting to do it all day. I’m glad that now that i went through that it helped me mature quicker than most others because now when you go through the school, you see everyone go to the restroom and do drugs but it’s no surprise I’m not scared to say it on here because everyone knows that dumb guys and smoking in those restrooms, they ain’t hiding it. When they get caught they are all surprised, acting like a baby “ it wasn’t mine, I swear ” and they start crying, so like, man up now. You want to do that stuff in school. I see that stuff as like, You’re an idiot. You’re wasting your life you could be doing much more with your life you know, look at me i’m a SkillsUSA officer. I’m over here competing in competitions, I’m over here trying to build my own business, S & E Stellar Studios. 

What would you say to young Tony ?

Separate yourself from people, Which i do a lot now. That’s one thing about me now, if i don’t want to talk to you i just won’t anymore, especially if i don’t know you or don’t like you, if i don’t have to talk to you i won’t. It’s like you don’t even exist to me anymore you know, that’s why i don’t pay much attention to people unless i have too. Some people are there just to use you. One of the things that I do is just put on a face just like acting with people who I’m friends with.

Who is someone you are thankful for and why? 

My sister and my brother-in-law, because they had really made me change my life, I messed up now. I don’t talk to them now, I regret it so it pains me. They brought me into a lot of new things that I never knew. Helped me really grow, most people our age they are stuck with their childish mind set they just want to go fuck around and waste there life just for a little fun. I thank some more people. I call them my brothers. They taught me everything that I needed to grow as a person.

What do you hope to be remembered for? 

A person who changed his life and my family and being rich to be honest I want to be 25 or younger and not worry about work. You can live your life if you work hard and have a business. From there you can enjoy your life and your family. I want to waste my energy on something more productive. 

What’s on your bucket list? 

Be rich, Live the life I want and buy a lot of cars. Have a lot of kids  before I’m 30. I want to have kids before I’m old. Get a house, get my business going so I make my own money.
