I also hope to continue my education to pursue a bachelor\u2019s degree in computer science.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your dream job?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My dream job is to someday work for a large company like Microsoft or Dell, or even a network provider like AT&amp;T.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What has been your greatest accomplishment while at TSTC?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My greatest accomplishment has been maintaining my grades and being able to put my training and knowledge to use on fixing computers not only in labs, but also to help out our TSTC family.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What greatest lesson have you learned about yourself or life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The greatest lesson I have learned about myself is that I would rather work in teams than alone. I\u2019m a team player and really extroverted, so it\u2019s hard for me to work alone. I think this stems from playing sports when I was younger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who at TSTC has had a great influence on your success?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My computer maintenance instructor, Elizabeth Martinez, has had a huge influence on my success. She pushed me to be active on campus and always inspired me to keep going when times get tough. In fact, TSTC in general has made a difference in my life and has influenced me to explore and be successful in different areas of my field and leadership.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your advice for future TSTC students?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Advice for future TSTC students is to keep trying even when you fail; don\u2019t make excuses. Learn to adapt to your situations and overcome challenges. Don\u2019t give up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(HARLINGEN) &#8211; Jovany Hensley graduated Friday night with a certificate in Computer Maintenance Technology from Texas State Technical College.
