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

After I graduate I plan on transferring to Texas State University or the University of Texas at San Antonio to pursue a double major in graphic design and music.<\/p>\n

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

My dream job is to become a freelance graphic design artist for advertising companies and to become a private music teacher on the side. My love for the arts stems back to middle school when I discovered my talent. I haven\u2019t looked back since.<\/p>\n

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

My greatest accomplishment so far was completing my first semester, because it has encouraged me to move forward with my education by showing me that I can complete and surpass my goals here at TSTC.<\/p>\n

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

I\u2019ve learned a couple lessons. First, I have learned that by doing what makes me happy I will be led to many new things in life. Second, I have volunteered with soup kitchens and food pantries and it has opened my eyes to those less fortunate and how we have to show and spread love.<\/p>\n

Who has influenced your success the most?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My parents are the two people who continuously influence me to be successful. They are my support and have always encouraged me to go for what I want in life. Finishing college and getting a good career will be my way of thanking them for all they have done for me.<\/p>\n

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

Find something that gives you the motivation to keep moving forward, and do not listen to the people who try to bring you down.<\/p>\n
