My name, as the website URL suggests is Mark Viola. I’m a mechanical engineering student at the University of Toronto and am determined and motivated to succeed. Some of my most recognizable qualities include my work ethic, quick learning, and my ability to be a team player. I always make sure that any task or assignment that is given to me is done on time and to the correct specifications. I also possess the capability of learning things fast. Whether its hands on or academic, I can and will be able to learn the skills necessary to do a task in a short amount of time. Also, as stated previously, I am a team player. I always try to contribute to the team by either giving some useful suggestions to things that need fixing or giving a helping hand to a partner in need.

Some other qualities about myself are that I am always punctual, patient, and willing to improve. I am always on time for school, jobs, and any other meetings. In fact, in most cases I will be the first person to be at a meeting place. I also display a generous amount of patience for others. If someone does not fully understand a task or are just slow at performing it, I have the ability to wait patiently and even provide assistance if they want it. Lastly, I always want to improve. What I mean by this is that I can take constructive criticism well and learn from it. When a superior tells me that what I’m doing is incorrect or sloppy, I will take the initiative to improve.

Now, some interesting facts about myself include that my full name is Mark Anthony Viola. This is significant because the people in my life refer to me as Tony instead of Mark. This originates from my second first name Anthony (not my middle name), and has been a part of my life since birth. This fact about myself has also eluded many people when deciding what to call me, and often leads to some humorous situations. Another interesting fact about myself is that I enjoy soccer. Some of my friends and myself will often go out to play some soccer outside at a park. Although I’m not a particular all-star at the game I do enjoy it a lot because of the constant running and physical nature of the sport.
