Maryssa Garza
Major: Biology
Campus Activities and Achievements: ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú women’s soccer team for four years and won two conference championships; worked
for Campus Recreation; took part in ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú’s award-winning Fiesta Parade floats and
the Confetti Runs with the Event Services staff.
Impact of ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú: As a student athlete, ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú gave me the chance to continue my education and soccer
career. I have been blessed to have learned from both the biology department staff
and athletic coaches, while also getting the opportunity to collaborate and participate
in numerous campus events. ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú has given me life-long friends and teammates and will
leave me with unforgettable memories. My time at ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú has further developed my character
and has prepared me for what is to come. I am forever thankful for my past four years
at ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú.
An important life lesson: ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú has taught me to never doubt my talents or give up on the goal or task at hand.
ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú has also taught me to always be open to other ideas or alternative routes and
to always treat others with respect and kindness.
Plans for the future: I hope to be accepted into a graduate program in medicine. My ultimate goal is to help people and share my experiences and lessons I have endured at ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉú with others.
