Only a couple of months in, Bryanna Woodman has hit the ground running as the newest Student Services Specialist at Texas Southmost College. <\/p>\n

Originally a nutrition major and graduate from a four-year Texas university, the 23-year-old said she realized nutrition wasn\u2019t her calling. Instead, she felt it in her heart to help other first-generation college students like herself and there was no better place to do that than where she grew up \u2013 the Rio Grande Valley. <\/p>\n

\u201cI believe I was always meant to come back home and help others like me find their way in higher education,\u201d said the Santa Rosa native. \u201cI\u2019m thankful to TSC for giving me that opportunity.\u201d <\/p>\n

Now at TSC, Woodman works closely with students overseeing the Campus Activity Board, Student Leadership Academy and organizing student leadership conferences and events such as the Bougainvillea Ball. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m finally able to help others the way I\u2019ve always hoped I could,\u201d she said. \u201cIn the little time that I have been here, I have learned so much and I\u2019m excited to continue growing, serving our students, campus community and seeing our students finish strong and become college graduates. That\u2019s a beautiful thing.\u201d <\/p>\n

Woodman said her goal is to advise students, give students hope and provide them the college experience she wished she had when she went to college. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have people that understand you and are in your corner, cheering you on, it makes the difference between finishing or giving up,\u201d said Woodman. \u201cMy overall goal is to help students reach their full potential.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that some have the misconceived notion that people from the Rio Grande Valley can\u2019t be successful, but she wants to show students that it doesn\u2019t matter where you come from, what matters is the work you put into reaching your goals. <\/p>\n

\u201cI want students to know that a college education is possible and it\u2019s never too late,\u201d said Woodman. \u201cI\u2019m here to help them find their interests and passions and to move forward with them. I advise them to not waste any opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Woodman, she feels right at home at TSC. <\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone has been so warm and welcoming, and our students are lucky to have this kind of welcoming environment that fosters learning, growth and family,\u201d she said. \u201cTSC has given me the opportunity to do what I love. This is exactly what I have been looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
