I\u2019m there for support,\u201d said Del Angel. \u201cBut the reason why I truly serve is to give back to a campus that gave me so much, to serve as a mentor and make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that it\u2019s rewarding when he encounters students he has mentored and they thank him for his advice and not allowing them to give up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKnowing I made an impact in someone\u2019s life is an emotional thing,\u201d said Del Angel. \u201cIt\u2019s great to know I can make a difference and it\u2019s an honor serving on TSC\u2019s advisory committee. Once a Scorpion, always a Scorpion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The father of five hopes to earn a master\u2019s degree in organizational leadership in the near future to continue climbing the industry ladder. He said his goal is to become United Refrigeration\u2019s regional manager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy goal as a father, advisory committee member and manager is to always make a positive impact and inspire others,\u201d he said. \u201cThe same way TSC has inspired me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit TSC\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tsc.edu\/academics\/division-of-science-technology-engineering-and-mathematics\/career-and-technical-education\/heating-ventilation-and-air-conditioning\/\">HVAC program<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enrique Del Angel\u2019s 30-year career in heating, ventilation and air conditioning began when he was only 13 years old, and it was at Texas Southmost College where he was able to prepare for a successful career.
