My most cherished memory at Texas State

What memory from my days at Texas State will I cherish for the rest of my life?”
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Texas State is the third college that I've attended. I graduated in 2013 and went straight to Texas A & M.
Originally, I wanted to be a pediatrician because I was born premature and had a fabulous doctor. He made a lasting impression on my life along with so many others. I always thought that if he could help me, how much could I help another child?
After almost 3 years, I had been accepted into the Biomedical Science program at TAMU. I was babysitting for a family friend who was also a Pediatric Emergency Physician at the closest hospital. After being invited to shadow him on third shift for a week, I decided that my heart was a little larger and that I could not save every child. In this moment, I had to reevaluate my career path.
I had taken summer classes back home at Clemson University. At this point, I was already 2.5 years invested with the program and a lot of money short.  With this decision, I was very discouraged and left wondering, “what am I going to do now?”
I had already applied and been accepted to Texas State in the fall of 2016. I took the summer off and decided I would move home to San Antonio to save money and figure my life out over the summer!
The following summer I completed 18 hours in 10 weeks as well as passing the PUG test the same day. Coming to Texas State was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. I was able to explore so many options for degrees and feel right at home. I have finally reached a major and a career path thanks to Texas State. There have been many sleepless nights and countless hours spent in Alkek.  I have made so many great friends and lifelong memories that I will cherish forever.





So, to answer the question, my most memorable moment at Texas State would be deciding to go to school here and all the memories that have come with that decision.

Blog Week #1: Kevin Schulte - Expertise Prompt

            “When it comes to residential insurance repair, I consider myself an authority.” I can confidently make this statement because I used to be a general contractor. For years I worked for a construction company that specialized in such repairs. Listed below are examples of how and why I can make this statement. I brought transferable skills and experience to this position including, being an outside sales cabinetry representative working with new construction builders, residential real estate repairs and sales, and management experience. Even with prior construction experience, the learning curve was steep and severe. The estimation program alone contained more than 10,000 line item options. If I missed a line item on an estimate that was money lost, not only for myself but also for the company. In time, I mastered the minutia and complexities of creating and writing multipage, accurate and profitab...

My favorite thing I did during the first part of the summer was frequent the pool at my apartment complex and the local bubble tea shop, which is called “Teapioca”. I chose these two locations as my favorite part because I was taking summer classes every day in May and June, just as I am right now. The pool and Teapioca were quiet, calm places that kept me sane during the times where I had nothing else to do after class and no friends to hang out with during this off-season time where no one is in town. a dip in the water or a refreshing beverage sure can do a lot for your mental health! I can also count being in San Marcos in general as my favorite part of the summer. The vibe here during the summer, where no one is here except actual San Marcos residents and the handful of college students that regret enrolling in summer classes, is a very special kind of calm.

My Favorite Summer Memory

My Favorite Summer Memory By: Kaylee Ware   So far this summer, I’ve been incredibly busy with my summer classes, applying to internships, and working part-time, but I’ve also had more time to spend with my friends. This is my last summer being in college, so I'm trying to soak in as many good times and memories with them as I can. Although my summer schedule is pretty hectic, my friends and I still manage to find time to spend together. My favorite thing to do with my friends in San Marcos is to get coffee and talk or to float the river. We enjoy thrift shopping and hiking. We also spend a lot of time studying at the library and at the pool. I haven’t gotten to see my family much this summer, because they live 7 hours away in Texarkana, but I will get to see my mom next week, because she’ll be in Austin for work and she is also helping me move in to my last college apartment, so I look forward to that! After I finish my summer classes, I also get to see my ...
