Possible Career Options
As a middle school or high school teacher, you will have the opportunity to encourage young minds to become interested in physics.
I chose UTRGV because it is close to my home and it gave me the opportunity to develop my language skills by taking English language classes before beginning my core classes.
What I like the most about UTRGV is the opportunity it gives the students to succeed. I have had professors who have done nothing but strived for us students to succeed in their course and that is something I really like because it helps first-generation students, like me, feel encouraged.
