Angel Padilla

A recent transfer student from Aragon High School, senior Angel Padilla likes to spend his free time eating, chilling, and watching television.

Angel was born on January 13, 1990 in Miami, Florida. Although he only lived there until he was one, he periodically returns to his birth place. He enjoys living in San Mateo more, claiming "The trees are greener over at San Mateo." Before attending Aragon his junior year, he went to Hannah's Boys Center up in Sonoma. It was a boarding school which he spent his freshman and sophomore years before he got kicked out. He got kicked out for stealing snacks from the kitchen and then selling it to the kids who were always hungry. He liked going there but he thought "It was up in the boonies. There was nothing up there." On whether he likes San Mateo or Aragon better, "San Mateo High is less cracking" according to Angel.

His favorite movies are Half Baked and New Jack City, both made in the 1990s. He likes to listen to Husalah and The Jacka. Angel also likes to rap in his free time. He has one older sister who is 27 years old. He kind of skateboards but "not so much anymore."

In the future Angel would like to "do something in psychology" or work with people.
