Hi, my name is Rickwens Desauguste and I am an undergrad student at UCF.
I was born in Haiti and moved to the United States when I was young. I am 19 years old and love playing football, and making music with my friends and family. Although it isn't anything serious we do have a lot of fun in the studio. I moved up to Orlando from Miami to attend UCF for aerospace engineering. It was the only college I even applied for so it was go big or go home for me. Needless to say I'm happy to be here.

Describe your college experience
It's definitely been crazy. Ups and downs. From some of the best memories of my life to overworking to being out of a job. All in all, I wouldn't take anything back because it made me who I am now.
Tip for future students
Make sure you have a focus, and stick to it. And as always, keep God first and everything else will fall in line.
Favorite class
So far, it's been EGN 1007. I met some really good friends in there and got to build and code a boat for a competition.
Career goals
Work a high-paying Aerospace job and invest all my money into many different ventures so I can retire from a 9-5 and live off residuals and passive income and be a family man.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Hangout with freinds or hop onto the game.
