Congratulations on all of your hard work Jose!

What factors are most important to you in deciding on a college?

Factors that are important to me in choosing a college are population, location, the programs of study and the activities offered to students.

Have you decided on a college?

No.

Have you decided on a major?

Yes.

Which major?

Psychology and Public Relations.

Why?

Public relations and psychology involve working with people and I love helping others. In the future, helping others will be one of my greatest achievements.

Favorite Subject:

Math.

Favorite Book:

The Bible

Favorite Quote:

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." ~ Les Brown

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

During my free time I enjoy playing the piano, saxophone, guitar, and singing. I love to play soccer and baseball. I like reading about biblical history so that I can teach it at my church. I also enjoy spending time with the youth I work with at my church.

Is there anything else you want to share?

When I think about how God has blessed me and how I have progressed, I always have to remember when the times were rough. Those times made me stronger and a better person because I refused to give in to failure. I made the decision to never look back; to keep pressing forward. I appreciate my mother and my father because they supported me through those challenging times. I am also thankful for the GVSU TRIO Upward Bound Program for helping me prepare for college.
