Mark Sanchez’s journey after leaving the Army in 2022 epitomizes resilience and determination in the face of uncertainty. 作为一名医务人员,在COVID的挑战时期, he experienced firsthand the demanding and taxing nature of military service. 尽管他致力于帮助他人, Mark realized that his time in the military had reached its conclusion. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in his life, one filled with exploration and the pursuit of his true passions.
回想起他的高中时代, Mark said he initially lacked a clear roadmap for his post-secondary education. Opting to pursue medicine in the military seemed like a practical choice at the time. However, he found himself at a crossroads upon completing his military service. Moving to 圣安东尼奥 provided a fresh start, but Mark felt adrift without a clear path forward. It was during this period of uncertainty that he discovered 西北远景学院(NVC).
At NVC, Mark's journey toward self-discovery gained momentum. His inherent love for engaging with people led him to choose Psychology as his field of study. 反思他的转变, Mark humorously recalls how his brief stint in a cubicle-style office job post-military life felt isolating, highlighting the stark contrast between military camaraderie and civilian work environments.
Mark's dedication and active involvement at NVC did not go unnoticed. His commitment to excellence earned him the prestigious Distinguished Graduate Award. He has also been appointed an Alamo Global Ambassador and will travel to Spain this summer where he hopes to learn about issues from cross-cultural perspectives. The NVC Distinguished Graduate award is a new designation, 由通用金融公司赞助, 认可学生参与社团活动, 担任领导职务, 社区参与和对NVC的承诺.
Abreetta邦纳, NVC社区合作总监, commends Mark's active involvement in various clubs and activities, underlining his role in fostering a sense of community and aiding fellow students in connecting with valuable resources.
马克在Phi Theta Kappa等社团的领导能力, 学生会协会, 心理学俱乐部, and the 阿拉莫大学 Student 区 Council has opened doors to new and exciting opportunities. 这些经历包括参加会议, 展示研究, 和同伴交往, which added to his educational journey and fueled his passion for Psychology.
展望未来, Mark has set his sights on pursuing a doctoral degree in Psychology at St. 玛丽的大学. His ultimate goal is to make a significant impact on society by either assisting individuals undergoing stroke treatment or delving into research on neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Mark’s advice to fellow students echoes his own transformative experience: “Get involved in some capacity.”
He emphasizes the importance of actively participating in college life beyond academics, as it fosters a sense of community and personal growth.
