Journey of a Teacher

On September 20, 2013, 3,700 Aggies got their little piece of gold. One of our own, Dina Valdez, finally got her Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring (Whoop!). 

Dina Valdez is a Bilingual Education major from Laredo, Texas and a proud member of the Class of 2008.  She is one of twelve siblings. She is someone that is always helping other with expecting nothing in return. She always has a positive attitude on life. She has been able to overcome many obstacles and get her precious Aggie Ring. This ring is more than just a ring. It is the official welcoming into the Aggie network as well as the beginning to her journey as a teacher. She wants to change people’s lives. She is passionate about her future and her goals. She believes that every child has the capacity to learn no matter the odds.

Valdez was beyond excited this past weekend. Filled with family and friends she received her class of 08’ Aggie Ring. Her youngest sister, Joyce, was able to come to the special occasion to place the ring on Valdez’s finger. Valdez was overwhelmed with happiness. She knew that all of her hard work had finally paid off. Valdez will continue to pursue her love for education in preparing to become an efficient teacher. She is expected to graduate in the Spring of 2015. She is determined to continue with her studies in getting a Masters Degree from Texas A&M while teaching in the Bryan/College Station ISD. 

We are so proud of you and love you ! -Cristy
