College and Career Program From Daughter to Graduate It’s hard to believe I’ve been at The University of Texas four years, and it’s time for me to graduate! It feels like it was just yesterday when Mrs. Teri took me on a college visit. I fell in love with my university and the city of Austin immediately. I’m so proud to have graduated in May from UT with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications Studies. Boys and Girls Country has been there for me every step of the way, whether it was helping me figure out what to major in or believing in me when I was overwhelmed with finals. And now they’re helping me transition into a new chapter in my life. I have found a job in the marketing field in Seattle, Washington and moved there this summer. I’m very excited about what is to come in the near future. I really want to thank Boys and Girls Country, who raised me and cared for me like I was their own daughter. Thank you and I love you all so much! Alexandra 22 Y
