Durenda from Mission, TX
I learned a lot while being here at South Texas College. Unfortunately I did not pass my first classes. I am looking to go back but have not found the monetary means to go back. I am hoping to get some sort of scholarship to help me out.

I'm attending classes as a CNA in La Joya High School with Mrs.Marshall and i really enjoy the class. I learn as a five star student, her way of teaching as an STC instructor is great! Through High School i have had the opportunity to take the course and I really appreciate the opportunity, my future to become a registered nurse has began. Thanks!
