\"Brownsville<\/div>\n

Brownsville Early College High School and Texas Southmost College dual credit graduate Ramses Linan received his diploma in June during his high school\u2019s graduation ceremony. He plans to do it all over again on July 31, but this time he\u2019ll receive his associate degree in general studies from TSC during the college\u2019s first-ever virtual graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was awesome to graduate high school with a diploma and an associate degree,\u201d said Linan. \u201cI plan to attend TSC\u2019s virtual graduation, too. I like that I have that extra degree under my belt that can help me get a job while in college. It doesn\u2019t hurt to have it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Determined to get a step ahead of the game and with the full support of his family, Linan decided to take dual credit courses when the opportunity was offered to him and his classmates during his sophomore year.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family was behind me 100%, they are extremely supportive of anything school related,\u201d said Linan, who graduated from BECHS as class valedictorian. \u201cIt\u2019s the highest priority for my family. They are always there for me and making sure I\u2019m being responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to his classes, Linan participated in the Chess Club, Math Club, Rotary Interact Club and was a member of the National Honor Society.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old BECHS class valedictorian said that he was able to balance his high school and college coursework with the help of his family, TSC instructors and a healthy dose of time management.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an awesome experience that teaches you a lot about college, schedules and structure,\u201d said Linan. \u201cYou have some great instruction on both sides and get the best of both worlds. You could tell the dual credit instructors were from TSC. They treated us like college students and gave us a college experience, that\u2019s what they were preparing us for. It\u2019s a lot of time management and if I could go back, I would do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Linan plans to continue to pursue a bachelor\u2019s degree in finance in Austin, although he may take the first semester online from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether in-person or online, he credits TSC for providing a college experience that prepared him for the next step in his educational career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked it (dual credit), especially now that I\u2019m signing up for classes in Austin,\u201d he said. \u201cThe classes I took through TSC\u2019s dual enrollment program felt like college classes and not high school classes. It was a great experience that prepared me for my next step and will help me in the future, and even now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
