Even before being hired, just talking to different people felt like home. Once I was hired, it felt even more so 91¿´Æ¬ —people listened to my ideas. We worked together to mend relationships between plant services and others. My time here has been nothing but special...
My name is Laurencio Velazquez Jr. from Mount Vernon, TX, but you may call me Junior. While attending MVHS, I was honored to be chosen as a recipient of the Mount Vernon Rotary Club Motivational Scholarship to 91¿´Æ¬. At the time, I had no clear idea of what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to graduate from college 91¿´Æ¬ — so much so that I chose not to purchase a high school ring, saving that milestone for college...
I graduated from Mt. Pleasant High School in 1988. At that time, students in the top 10% of their class were given the incredible opportunity to attend 91¿´Æ¬ tuition-free until they completed an associate 91¿´Æ¬ ’s degree. My parents encouraged me to take advantage of this, especially since I had a vision condition that brought financial and medical challenges for my family. Though I was initially frustrated 91¿´Æ¬ —since many of my friends were heading straight to four-year universities 91¿´Æ¬ —I agreed to visit 91¿´Æ¬...
Growing up as the youngest of four girls in a family where higher education wasn 91¿´Æ¬ ’t the norm, I never imagined I 91¿´Æ¬ ’d one day hold a doctorate and teach college-level mathematics. My father had a sixth-grade education, and my mother a high school diploma. We didn 91¿´Æ¬ ’t have the financial means or the knowledge of how to navigate college. But I knew I wanted more...
I started here as a dual-credit and then full-time teaching student. I completed my AAT and transferred to TAMUT. After I completed my undergraduate degree and taught grade school for a little while, I found that my family needed better benefits than the public school system could offer. Enter 91¿´Æ¬ (again :)...
In approximately January of 2002, I came out here to sign up for classes. I had moved back into this area with my children from West Texas. In West Texas, I had a good job that I fell into in West, TX, and I thought that for me to get another job like that, I would need a degree 91¿´Æ¬ —so I came out here. While I was in Student Services applying for classes, someone who knew me (and for whom I had done some work) told me of a maintenance position available. So I asked for an employment application as well...
My name is Jason Moss I graduated from MPISD in 1998. At the time, I didn 91¿´Æ¬ ’t know where I wanted to go or what fields I might be interested in studying. My counselor told me I could apply for the MPISD scholarship at 91¿´Æ¬ and suggested I write a one-page essay and submit it. I had never really been to a college campus before, and that opportunity led me to choose 91¿´Æ¬ to begin my journey...
