My name is Melina Marquez and I am a senior at Sam Houston State University, studying Public Health. I was born in Georgia, then moved to Alabama, and ended up in Texas. I have two awesome parents, a younger brother that started his first year of college at the University of South Alabama, and 2 Shih-Tzu’s that I miss very much while I am away at school.

As much as this scares me to say, I have no idea what my plans are post-grad but know that things will work out just how they are meant to. I have always had a passion for helping others which initially got me on the nursing track. After being away at school and learning more about myself and life in general, I realized how much I could excel in a position on the administrative side of health care. So, I guess that is the direction I am heading in now. I am excited to see all the exciting things that are to come in the real world. 

 

Arif Law recently graduated Summa Cum Laude from Sam Houston State University, where he majored in History and minored in Political Science. He currently works for Conroe ISD as a substitute teacher and para. Previously, he was a student classified under Section 504 and took special education classes throughout elementary and middle school.

It was because of this personal experience that he became interested in helping other students with special needs.

When he's not watching history documentaries, you can find him at the gym or spending time with family.

 

My name is Sydney Carroll, I'm 22 years old and a first-generation student at Sam Houston State University.

I'm originally from a small town in Illinois but was raised in the suburbs of Houston for the majority of my life.

In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, spending time with friends and family, and playing with my two dogs.

Chelsea Chanslor -

“I found my way out of a troubling lifestyle filled with corruption, incarceration, and ten years of active addiction until October 2021, when I decided to save my life by getting sober at 22.

I am currently pursuing a career path that will allow me to provide peer support as a recovery coach while working towards becoming a drug and alcohol counselor.

My passion is helping others struggling with addiction.”
