(HARLINGEN) – Daisy Lizette Bujanos, 21, is currently studying Biology at Texas State Technical College and proudly boasts a 3.0 grade-point average.  Not only is the Brownsville native focused on her studies, but she also works as a TSTC game room attendant, which allows her to interact and socialize with her peers.

What are your plans after graduation?

I plan on heading to Texas A&M in Corpus Christi to obtain a bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training, or Del Mar College to pursue an associate degree in physical therapy. We’ll see what works out.

What’s your dream job?

I want to eventually work at a rehab center for children, but while working and focusing on my career I would also love to be a choreographer. I grew up dancing and I love it. I am hoping my passion for dance will help me work better with children.

What has been your greatest accomplishment while at TSTC?

Passing my classes in general has been a great accomplishment because they can definitely be tough. I always strive to go above and beyond to make sure I’m doing the best that I can.  I want to prove to myself that I can do everything I set my mind to, and it’s also very important to me that I make my parents proud.

What greatest lesson have you learned about yourself or life?

Don’t ever give up. I know that sounds cliché, but it’s one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as a student.  No matter how hard things may get just push through the tough times because it’s all going to be worth it when you’re holding your degree.

Name a TSTC person who most influenced your success.

My boyfriend Roel Gonzalez, who works as an Orientation Leader, has made things easier for me. When I’m having a tough time, he’s the person that I feel I can talk to about anything and he always manages to remind me why I need to keep doing the best that I can through every semester.

What is your advice for future TSTC students?

When things get hard, remember why you’re here. Success takes time, and we all need to work hard for it. Study as much as you can and don’t ever let anybody bring you down. You’re never alone here at TSTC, so don’t be afraid to ask for help. There’s always people in every corner to assist you. Just keep going!
