      TELL US ABOUT YOU:

      “I was born in Mexico and my parents brought me to the United States when I was approximately 5 years of age. I have lived in Corsicana since then. I have two beautiful children. My daughter Sophie is 5 years old and my son Jacob Jr. will be 2 years old soon. I have been married for almost 3 years to my best friend Jacob. I wanted to attend Navarro College because of the great Education program located at this institution. The program is very flexible, and I could attend school while still earning a living for my family.

      Navarro College made a huge impact on my life due to opportunities I was granted and unforgettable relationships I built with a few professors. I was granted two scholarships to attend post-secondary school. The Opening Doors to Success and the Navarro College Education Foundation aided in my financial security.

      I am a shy person when it comes to speaking in front of a huge crowd. One of my favorite memories at Navarro College was in speech class. We had to present a speech over How To Do Something, and it was so much fun. I enjoyed presenting my How To Install a Car Seat to my classmates. I continue to keep in contact with the professors that I previously mentioned. Some relationships are meant forever and those are forever relationships that I treasure dearly.

      I am currently a First-grade teacher at Carroll Elementary here in Corsicana, TX. My life is centered around my family. Navarro College is a great place to begin an education. It provides education at an affordable price and it prepares you for a demanding 4-year university, if you plan on attending. Navarro gives everyone a sense of family because of the close-knit relationships that are easily attained during your course study.

      I had some hardships during my time attending Navarro College. I had a hardship where I had to be strong not only for me but for my daughter. It was a situation that taught me my value as a human as well as my worth as a mother. Sometimes things may seem hard and giving up is the first thing we want to do; however, those situations that seem impossible are the ones that shape us as humans. There isn’t anything that you cannot overcome with help and prayer.

      IMPACTFUL NC STAFF:

      Rev. Dairy Johnson, Dr. Stringer, Mrs. Roberstad, Dr. Penque and Mr. Nesmith made a HUGE impact in my education on the Navarro campus. I thank each of them for all their advice and going the extra mile to ensure I completed my education.

       

      FAVORITE QUOTE:

      “Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.” H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
