The College and Career March is just 🔟 days away! 🎉 Taking center stage today is the senior, Angela Coca-Lemus! Angela is a senior at Uplift Grand Preparatory with BIG dreams of pursuing pre-medicine at top-tier schools like Texas Tech, Rice, or Baylor University! Her journey has been shaped by inspiring mentors like her 8th-grade teacher, Mr. Robinson: "He inspired me to always strive for better. Because of him, I managed to obtain the highest marks I could get so far." This summer, Angela participated in the SYEP internship at Baylor Scott and White Health, where she gained valuable insights into the medical field by shadowing different roles. “For my senior year, I see myself still working hard, achieving what I need to, and maintaining my rank because it’s not over yet!” Let’s cheer Angela and the Class of 2025 on as they prepare to march into their future on Dec. 6th! 🎓 #CollegeBound #CareerMarch #SeniorSpotlight #Classof2024 #upliftproud #roadtocollegeandcareer #RTCC #Upliftgrandscholarculture
