“I am from Bardwell which is super small and right outside Ennis, Texas. I am a Dual
Credit student at Corsicana High School and have been attending Navarro College classes
since my freshman year. I became a Navarro College student because of all the amazing
opportunities the college has to offer.
This experience has been one of the greatest experiences of my life so far. I am so grateful to Navarro College, because I would not be where
I am or who I am today without this college. For my intended degree at my four university,
I already have half of the credits needed to earn the degree when I begin in Fall
2021 and that would not be possible without Navarro. I have become so much more confident
and more dedicated to my education through this experience. The professors, the classes,
and the other students throughout my four years with Navarro College have taught me
that it is normal to struggle and ask for help because we all ARE going through a
shared experienced. So, the kind of impact Navarro College made on me is an ever-
lasting one of gratitude and humility.
I plan to go to University of Texas at San Antonio to major in psychology and either
minor or double major in biology; however, this might change because they have a specific
major/program for those who want to go into pre-med, which is what I want to do (I
want to be a psychiatrist).
I think my favorite parts of Navarro has been studying, which I know sounds boring,
but I have had some of the best time studying with friends. Actually, in one of my
classes, all of the students would stay in the lab during lecture break and go up
to the chalk board and quiz each other on test material. It was so much fun especially
trying to spell and pronounce some of the words. It was extremely helpful! I definitely
recommend trying it if possible. Shout out to the people in that class and the professor
for letting us do that.
I am graduating from Navarro a month before my Corsicana High School in June. I am
planning to graduate from UTSA in 2025; however, I am going in with 61 credits, so
I may graduate sooner.
