Luis
2009 graduate, Bowers-Whitley Career Center
What is the secret to success? If you were to ask Luis, he would probably tell you it is important to have short-term and long-term goals. Having goals such as these, as well as financial assistance from Project SUCCESS, helped him succeed in and complete his work at the Bowers-Whitley Career Center. Thanks to the Project SUCCESS program and Luis' determination, he is now continuing to thrive in his EMS classes at Hillsborough Community College, which he started in August.
Luis is pursuing his lifelong dream of a career in the health field. He is currently working towards becoming a paramedic, which he believes will help him reach his ultimate goal of becoming a surgeon. He admits he still has much to learn, but he knows a good attitude and the drive to make his dreams come true will have an incredible impact on his life.
"I believe that working my way up will be more valuable than just rushing into any line of work," says Luis, "I strongly believe that experience makes the difference between a good decision and a bad one. Working my way up will give me valuable experience and a chance to explore the life that I want to live for myself and my family."
