I realize the benefit of attending college and will make every effort to prepare myself for such a commitment. It is my goal to be the first of my family to graduate from college. I am going to achieve my dream.

The ability to help in a public service greater than oneself leaves me full of a sense of accomplishment and pride. I know from experience that it is a way to directly impact those who need love and assistance the most.

I am dedicated to the study of Viticulture. Ultimately, I would like to own my very own vineyard.
Jose Angulo
When I came from Durango, Mexico with my parents, two brothers and my sister, I knew right away that the road to success wasn’t going to be easy. With the support of my family I was a straight-A student.
