Student Highlight
Maria Godoy,
Lone Star College-Kingwood
I come from a somewhat unusual background. I am of British and Guatemalan nationality and hold citizenship from both countries. For two years, I lived and worked in Guatemala, teaching English and working as a coordinator at a Spanish Language school. It was in Guatemala that I decided I wanted to go to college in the United States and obtain a nursing degree. Although I enjoyed teaching English, I wanted a change, and felt nursing was a career I was suited to. I wanted to be involved in a profession, like the teaching I had done for over ten years, that I would find meaningful and rewarding.
Ms. Godoy was the one of the Dr. Linda Stegall Excellence in Education Scholarship Endowment winners at LSC-Kingwood. Read her complete thank you letter.
