Benjamin Joseph Vasquez was born on March 5th, 1984 at Spohn Memorial Hospital in Corpus Christi, TX.  I have two sisters (ages 28 and 23 as of 1/2/2005) and one brother (age 25 as of 1/2/2005).  My parents are still married an are currently residing in Harker Heights, TX.

I attended Pre-K at David Wicks and then had a brief encounter at an elementary in Robstown for three days.  After that I went to Casa Linda Elementary School , the mascot was the eagle, from Kindergarten up until 5th grade.  My accomplishments there were Odyssey of the Mind from 2nd - 4th grade and Safety Patrol from 4th grade till 5th grade.  A sad thing happened though, I broke my wrist as 5th grade was coming to an end.

For middle school I attended Tom Browne Middle School, the mascot was the bear, from 6th grade to 8th grade.  There was when I made most of my friends and started on an ambitious project that finally ended the summer before my freshman year in college.

For high school I attended Mary Carroll High School, the mascot was the tiger, from my freshman (9th) to my senior (12th) year.  I didn't do any clubs in middle school or high school.  My main occupation was working at the Skateland amusement park for two years.  Before my senior year in high school I stayed in Plano, TX in which I was a cashier at Albertsons.  Before completing my senior year, I was accepted to the current university I am now attending.  Texas Tech University located in Lubbock, TX. The mascot are the Red Raiders.  I graduated from Carroll with a 95 (4.0) GPA and was ranked 173 out of 594 students (32 %).

At Texas Tech University (TTU) I am a Junior (as of 1/2/2005) architect major and am planned to graduate in the spring of 2006.  My GPA isn't that great now as I am maintaining a low 3.0.  I work at the Southwest Collection Special Collections Library housed on the TTU campus.  Sadly because of my low income and my vigorous academic schedule, I am unable to participate in any fraternities or organizations.
