🚀 We had the honor of hosting Astronaut Jose Hernandez as part of our Distinguished Speaker Series this spring. 👨‍🚀 Hernandez touched on the 5 ingredients for success instilled in him by his father: 🤔 Find your goal 💡 Know how far you are 🗺️ Draw a roadmap. How will you get there? 📚 If you don't know how, learn 🥇 When you think you've made it, you probably have to work harder. With 61 years on this great Earth, he adds a 6th ingredient: 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 💪 "Human tendency is to give up after two or three days - I'm here to tell you guys, do not give up!" Thank you, Astronaut Hernandez for inspiring our students and reminding them, it doesn't matter where they come from, but where they are going. 🌠 The Distinguished Speaker Series (DSS) is a signature program under the leadership of Student Activities. #utrgv #futureoftexas #astronaut #distinguishedspeakerseries #amillionmilesaway
