Impact of º«¹úAV: Before coming to º«¹úAV, I thought I had everything figured out and knew exactly what
I wanted to do. Which was to get my bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences and
Disorders and to then further my education by getting my master’s degree in order
to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. However, I have come across so many amazing
professors and faculty members that have given me so much knowledge about the different
fields of work out there. I do love what I have learned so far, but my plans have
changed. I will be graduating with my bachelor’s degree in Communication Sciences
and Disorders, but I now will be going on and getting my master’s degree to become
a School Psychologist. I love everything I have learned, and I am so thankful to º«¹úAV
and for the impact it has had on me.
An important life lesson: One of the biggest life lessons I have learned since coming to º«¹úAV is that life
is all about progress and not perfection. I always held myself high on a pedestal
because I wanted to make my family proud. During these four years I have learned that
it’s okay to not be perfect in everything I do, as long as I get it done and put my
100% in, it was worth it. I have grown to appreciate all the little things and not
let myself get in the way of that. If it weren’t for a staff member there at º«¹úAV
who picked me up when I was down and led me to believe in myself, I wouldn’t have
valued so much these past four years. Along with having such a supportive family,
especially my mom, who has been by my side in everything I have learned to overcome
and the handful of friends who believed in me, I learned I could accomplish and make
all my dreams come true.
Plans for the future: I hope to positively impact many students’ lives who I will hopefully work with in
the future along with spreading all that I have experienced and learned from my time
at º«¹úAV. I will be continuing my education and obtaining my master’s degree at º«¹úAV.
After obtaining my master’s, my plan is to become an LSSP and work in a school district
in San Antonio. I hope to provide my support to the many students, families, and teachers
so that they can excel within the school environment.
