What are your plans after graduation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

After graduating from TSTC I plan on transferring to Sam Houston State University to pursue a bachelor\u2019s degree in Psychology and Criminology.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your dream job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My dream job is to become a Forensic Psychologist. After completing my first psychology class I was interested in learning more. I did some research and came across forensics and noticed I could combine both, and since then I\u2019ve been hooked.<\/p>\n

What has been your greatest accomplishment while at TSTC?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My greatest accomplishment has been maintaining my grades, my GPA and making my mom proud.<\/p>\n

What greatest lesson have you learned about yourself or life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My mom has always taught me that it is important to be resilient in life, and I have always carried that with me.<\/p>\n

Who at TSTC has had the most influence on your success?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The person at TSTC who has influenced my success the most is my Government Instructor Elizabeth Bryant. She is a very independent woman and is very dedicated to her job, teaching me and other students that dedication is important no matter what we decide to do in life.<\/p>\n

What is your advice for future TSTC students?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My advice for future TSTC students is to attend class every day. I also encourage students to get involved and attend activities on campus because this helps you meet people new people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
