UTRGV gave me the opportunity to be near home as I started in higher education. For me, family is essential to support me in every step I make. UTRGV has taught me about the possibilities available to me in the world and the greater opportunities you can obtain by working hard. In addition, I like the fact that the UTRGV faculty are welcoming and accessible to the students.
