Jasmin Hoover, Class of 2019
Paraprofessional at Waxahachie Independent School District
Jasmin was born and raised in Giessen, Germany. Her husband and two children moved to the U.S. in 2012 due to a change in military duty station. In 2017 she decided to start a new chapter in her life and registered for Navarro College. While as a NC student, she was working as a substitute teacher for Waxahachie ISD. In 2019, she graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Accounting.
“I became a U.S. citizen in May of 2018. Professor Milligan, Butch Owens, and Professor Teeter were my absolute favorites. I admire Professor Milligan, she is such a wonderful and caring educator. Professor Teeter has a way with students that I have not experienced before, he keeps his classroom entertained with great knowledge. Butch is an awesome educator as well, with his calm and quiet self, he makes everybody feel comfortable.”
She is currently enrolled at Tarleton State University and will be pursuing a Bachelor’s of Applied Sciences and then the alternative teaching route to become a math teacher.
Her advisors say she’s a great example. Her education in Germany was not recognized when she came to the U.S. so she had to start over. She works full time and has a stellar GPA even with English being her second language. She hasn’t let roadblocks stop her from showing her kids what’s possible!
