As a prerequisite in our Communication Skills class, we were asked by our instructor to interview somebody. The focus of the talk is the interviewee’s objective why he chose to study engineering. I was assigned to interview Mark Kevin Biasca, my fellow engineering classmate. He graduated high school at San Jose del Monte National Trade School.

He wanted engineering to be the bridge on his way to success (now finally, he revealed his intent why he still considered engineering). For him, college life is fun; because he was able to meet new people, yet challenging; as he’s still adjusting to fit in.
