Motivation led LVN to valedictorian honor

Adali Navarro graduated in the top 10 percent of her senior class at Harlingen High School South in 2007, but she learned that striving toward her medical career would require greater efforts. She rose to the challenge and became valedictorian of the first Vocational Nurse graduating class at TSTC Harlingen in May 2010.

She is continuing her college work toward a bachelor’s degree in nursing at the University of Texas at Brownsville. Eventually, she plans to apply at the University of Texas-Pan American and become a physician’s assistant.

“The VN Program course work and clinical experiences were intense. All of the instructors were strict and they pushed us to do our best,” Navarro said.

“My TSTC education has motivated me to go as far as I want with my future education and training. It also instilled me with an understanding of placing an emphasis on responsibility and dedication.”
