Sebastian Martinez is an extremely creative freshman that we are proud to have at Mt SAC Early College Academy (MECA) , taking an interest in the arts and thinking creatively. Following that, he has a love for math, particularly physics, and he plans to major in that course in the near future. He finds this interest by means of a college physics course he took with Professor Nickles, continuing with his interests, he is family-oriented and still figuring himself out, claiming, “[He] doesn’t know a lot about [himself] yet.”

Furthermore on his love for math and physics, a more specific branch he wants to go into is solid-state physics— a category of physics which is more hands-on and works with solid components of electronics (ie. chips and things of the sort). With his love for math he is attempting to pursue his Associates degree in Mathematics. He finds physics to be an addition to his love for math, enjoying applying equations to the real world and making it beyond numbers. If not solid-state physics, he plans to change it to biological physics which holds a stronger focus on applying Physics to Microbiology.

Beyond his academic likes, he also loves gardening, complaining about the lack of great weather recently, as well as tending to his aquarium. He finds himself engulfed in books as he enjoys reading and his last read was Adventures in Numberland, a book that focuses on math theories.

Sebastian starts his morning routine bright and early in the morning at six in the morning, although he doesn’t leave for school until much later. He changes, spends a little bit of time checking his phone and finds himself cycling to school since he loves to bike too. On some days, classes end for him at about twelve at noon and he bikes straight to a bus stop to make his way to his college courses. After those classes, he goes straight home to shower— riding a bike is pretty strenuous— and begins his homework, often staying at the library on weekends to get it done too. He settles in bed by nine-thirty at night and begins his reading for roughly thirty minutes before heading to sleep.

Back onto academics, his dream schools are prestigious high-ranking schools of science, being schools such as: Stanford, CalTech, and MIT. With his outstanding academic performances and his set routine, he is sure to be successful in the future.
