What are your goals for the next five years?

Ismael Lamas
biomedical engineering graduate student

“So after this program, God willing I graduate this semester, I’d be getting into the master’s of physician assistant studies here at UTRGV. Hopefully, that takes two years. And then after that, graduate, become a PA and have my own house and develop my own foundation.”

Christian Quintero
theatre sophomore

“I wanna make movies, but the actual camera part of making is a little hard for me. So, I wanna write movies, but doing that without qualifications is hard. So, I’m actually turning them into comic books, and I’m already looking into applications with a company called Image Comics. They help independent creators and you get to keep your rights and it’s a pretty simple process.”

Mattias Mata
criminal justice junior

“For the next five years, obviously, I hope to finish my major and also complete my minor in biology. And, also complete an internship that’s required for my major. But also, I’d like to gain experience in the criminal justice field. Ideally, get an internship in a forensics department with a local agency.”

Mason Atkinson
accounting junior

“I would say my goals for the next five years are to get at least one internship, join some clubs and get my master’s in accounting.”
