Presidential Student Achievement Award Winner

Eleazar Herrera Hernandez Written by Mary Maule The Presidential Student Achievement Award is the most prestigious Austin Community College award to be earned by a student. This recipient demonstrates academic excellence, service to ACC and the community and commitment to our values and vision.

Eleazar Herrera Hernandez was born in Mexico City, and grew up in a small city near Tampico. As a child he became interested in Space after listening to physicists discuss singularities and the unknown qualities of space on Discovery Channel’s How the Universe Works. As there are many singularities in neuroscience and astrophysics, Herrera Hernandez has made it his goal to discover the answer to a single singularity. /PZ NVHS OHZ ILLU YLÄULK HZ OL determined his strengths and interests in the related subjects.

Herrera Hernandez began college in El Paso, Texas, but moved to Austin to be closer to his sister.

Here, he continues his education at ACC, with plans to transfer to the University of Texas. His goal is to complete his bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering with several minors: Chemistry, Math and German. While attending ACC Herrera Hernandez has immersed himself within the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and the FunNation organization. As a member in FunNation he believed in their goal of helping everyone and staying healthy. In Phi Theta Kappa, he has worked his way through the organization to gold status as a

treasurer. He, then, proceeded to become the President of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society and PZ J\YYLU[S` [OL 6ɉJLY MVY [OL College Project. Herrera Hernandez stays involved and active as a student to pursue his dream.

After completing his studies he plans to either build his own, or join a company that sends people outside of our solar system.

Herrera Hernandez has overcome many challenges to get this far in his college plan. In order to pursue a career in Astrophysics, Herrera Hernandez had to leave Mexico for the United States. Because Mexico does not have a space program, they also do not have jobs or a degree in astrophysics for its people to earn. With this issue, the only option was to immigrate to the United States. As the immigration regulations can IL KPɉJ\S[ [V [YHUZ]LYZL [OYV\NO with his goal in mind, Herrera Hernandez was able to work his way through the process.

Beyond the citizenship process Herrera Hernandez faced a problem at home, in Mexico. His father was retired, and began to lose money over time. Halfway through his career at ACC his father passed

away, leaving his mother and younger sister penniless. The two remain living in Mexico, and struggling after the passing of his father the provider of the family.

His budget became restricted as he began to send nearly a thousand dollars back home, monthly, to support his family.

Despite these challenges, Herrera /LYUHUKLa JVU[PU\LZ [V ÄNO[ MVY his dreams taking one step at a time. He believes that, “if you have the passion everything will MHSS PU[V WSHJL @V\ ^PSS ÄUK H ^H` to do what you have to do.”

In regards to hardships and struggles, Herrera Hernandez said, “seeing the goal, seeing the rewards, and just enjoying the trip, as well. I call all of them together my passion. All of that together is what I call a passion. That’s what keeps me looking forward, wanting to wake up the next day and wanting to do something.”

Herrera Hernandez feels that being able to keep your passion Scan to watch at the forefront and strive towards your dreams and goals, despite challenges will strengthen and motivate anyone. full interview Spring 2017 | 27

Outstanding Male Leadership Program Member

Edwin Sanchez Written by Amye Bueno-Benitez

Born and raised in Austin, Texas, Edwin Sanchez found himself wanting to go to college, straight out of high school. However, he also needed a job. Sanchez felt that coming to Austin Community College was the best way to get where he wanted to go. He enrolled at ACC as a part-time student and was able to transition into a full-time student.

Sanchez recalls feeling alone in his path towards higher education.

There, he felt inspired and was able to relate to his peers. He was surrounded by likeminded people who came from the same place and wanted to improve themselves. With encouragement and support, Edwin stuck with the program and expects to graduate with an associates degree in liberal arts, this Fall.

“There’s so much support, it’s impossible to fail.�

In turn, the hope is for these members to earn valuable jobs and contribute back to the community.

According to The Center for Latino Policy Research in Northern California, “many Hispanic males are not going to college and if they do, they have a very high dropout rate.â€? Some reasons include, ¸MHTPS`ÂťZ Ă„UHUJPHS ULJLZZP[PLZ Z\I par schooling experiences, street NHUN PUĂ…\LUJL JVTT\UP[` Z\WWVY[ or lack thereof and prevailing educational policies - which, still, in some regions marginalize them.â€?

Outstanding Volunteer of the Year

Alisha Merchant Written by Halie Davis

One might not expect a registered U\YZL JLY[PÄLK [H_ WYLWHYLY HUK full-time ACC student to serve as a volunteer. However, ACC student, Alisha Merchant put in over 400 hours of volunteer time alongside her busy schedule last year.

Born in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Merchant moved to the United States when she was 18-years-old.

Growing up in a family of health care professionals inspired her to seek a career where she could THRL H KPɈLYLUJL /LY ÄYZ[ Z[LW ^HZ attending medical school, where she earned a bachelor of science from Baylor University and worked as a registered nurse at SetonBrackenridge. “The best way to be in contact, one-on-one with the WH[PLU[Z HUK THRL H KPɈLYLUJL ^HZ through nursing,” Merchant said.

“The satisisfaction I get in doing something, is not achieved in a group settting.”

“Since childhood, I’ve always wanted to be involved in healing,” Merchant said. “I would rather have a conversation and see what they need from me. Then, learn how I can help them and go from there.”

Many of the people Merchant volunteers with have become a friend or someone she’s been able

to establish trust with and build a positive relationship.

Alisha established a solid relationship with another student after becoming concerned by their actions. Merchant suggested a doctor, but quickly learned the Z[\KLU[»Z ÄUHUJPHS ZP[\H[PVU ^V\SKU»[ allow for a visit. Pulling from her training and education, Merchant agreed to voluntarily counsel this student throughout the school year.

In turn, she was able to be the ear that the student needed in order to IYPUN JVUÄKLUJL IHJR [V [OLPY ^LSS being. The student was able to learn how to cope with depression and many other tactics to succeed.

Spending time as an event volunteer, psychiatric assistant and caregiver she found her passion.

“It’s about the outcome that I get back,” Merchant said. “If someone is going through a depression episode and needs someone to talk to, I can sit with them and see what their issues are and hear them out. Maybe it would make them feel better? If a person is sick and needs help organizing — which I’ve done before — whatever they need, even cook for them, so they can properly eat in my absence. There are many people in this world who don’t share or tell you what they need. They wouldn’t want to share their issues or problems they’re having on a dayto-day basis until you know them really well and they trust you. So it’s, also, the ability to build trust with them, that helps.”

While pursuing a PhD, Merchant has earned an associate’s degrees

in economics and mathematics from ACC. In her time at ACC, Merchant puts her degrees to use by voluntarily tutoring students in math and sciences subjects, teaching tax WYLWHYH[PVU HUK THUHNPUN ÄUHUJLZ as a personal assistant.

After teaching in India, Merchant became involved in mission trips through Baylor. “I’ve realized that the satisfaction I get in doing something, is not achieved in a group setting,” she said. Merchant prefers non-standard approaches, like her parents. Growing up, she watched her mother and grandfather treat patients without charge.

Every month her family purchases groceries for seven to eight families and her father pays the tuition for other students.

From her family, Merchant has learned to be involved in the community through volunteer work, She has joined organizations on her school campuses to stay active.

“Go to Student Life and see what you enjoy,” Merchant suggests. “I know what I like, so I prefer doing work with that. Find your niche and begin somewhere. It can start VɈ HZ TPU\[LZ H ^LLR VY Q\Z[ walking up to someone and asking ‘what can I do for you, do you need help?’” Merchant believes that the satisfaction received from volunteering is Scan to watch immeasurable. “If each person does a good deed, every single day, many people will be helped,” she said. full interview Fall 2017 | 33

Student Organization of the Year

Written by Halie Davis Some of us may, still, be getting familiar with the educational acronym STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). Evolving with the world, however, many institutions are adding an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? to make STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) a more inclusive organization. Last year, a small group of ACC students met to construct a 3D-world out of the, seemingly, one-dimensional experiences they were receiving at Austin Community College. *\YYLU[S` (** OHZ HYV\UK registered student organizations; about 11% are science-based, 1% are technology-based, 1% are engineering-based and zero are mathematics-based. About 8% are art-based. STEAMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Former President, Jose Martinez; Vice President Sonia Tovar; and current

President, Amber Rodriguez, felt that introducing art to these sectors would make for a more well-rounded student organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a ton of great organizations like the honor society and [ACCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chapter of the Society of Physics Students], but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really let students explore what they really want,â&#x20AC;? Martinez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the driving factor behind STEAM.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to create a path for people in creative arts.â&#x20AC;?

The addition of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;? to STEM serves to implement the arts into science, technology, engineering and mathematics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think with arts

We wanted to create a path for people with creative arts.â&#x20AC;?

This past semester, STEAM invested in a 3D printer. Studying design, Tovar was the driving force of this idea as she hopes to push the YLSH[P]P[` VM HY[ PU[V H ZJPLU[PĂ&#x201E;J HUK technology driven society. The group believes their new machine will allow members of the organization to implement drafting, design and development into their future accomplishments.

Having recently purchased their printer, STEAM is learning how to use the machine so it can be put to use for projects in the Fall semester.

One of the goals for the semester PZ [V JYLH[L KPɈLYLU[ ZLJ[PVUZ ^P[OPU the organization. “We could have the science and technology sector, the artsy, creative sector and from there we can branch out,” Rodriguez said.

“But for now, it’s working on the 3D printer and getting more members to come in to create more ideas.”

Collaboration with an artistic mind can expand upon ideas coming from the mind of a science, technology, engineering or mathematics major.

At least, that is what Martinez has noticed when watching people ^P[O KPɈLYLU[ ZRPSS ZL[Z work together.

“When someone who thinks straightforward meets someone who thinks abstract, their ideas collide — and that’s a good thing,” Martinez said. “Once they come to an agreement the idea will actually morph into something completely

38 | Life4U

KPɈLYLU[ [OHU ^OH[ ^V\SK»]L happened if it were just the same group of people coming up with ideas. Including other people is very important. It’s a big topic right now because a lot of companies are asking how do you include diversity into the workplace?”

Inclusion is exactly what STEAM is pushing as Martinez continues to work with the student organization on the topic. “In the technology world, right now, there are a lot more

males than women,” Martinez said.

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, an estimated 31% of the undergraduate degrees earned in STEM are from women and 26% of that are minority females. This percentage hasn’t grown much in the past decade.

“I want to inspire other people, especially young girls who are thinking of getting out of their comfort zone,” Rodriguez said.

“I don’t meet many female, latina girls that want to go into science or physics. I know it’s very intimidating to be in a career path like this, but I hope that I can help people understand it’s not just for men.”

As these career paths may be daunting to some, the U.S. Department of Education estimates the number of STEM related jobs will increase by 14% from 2010 to 2020.

However, the jobs may be popping up, but the education is lacking.

According to ed.gov, “even among those who do go on to pursue a JVSSLNL THQVY PU [OL :;,4 ÄLSKZ only about half choose to work in a related career.”

The extension of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to STEM, is being urged by by educators and college students across the nation. This addition is to encourage thinking outside the box.

Male Athlete of the Year

Terrell Hill Written by Halie Davis Terrell Hill, Business student at Austin Community College, possess natural-born talents for both leadership and athletic endurance.

These skills attributed to him being named as the 2016-2017 ACC Athlete of the Year.

Since middle school, Hill has been active in basketball, tennis and track. Upon entering ACC, Hill was looking for a way to keep both body and mind in shape. Wondering PM (** JV\SK VɈLY HU` WYVNYHTZ that would give him a constant workout, he dug around.

“I’ve been participating in the intramurals program for ACC for a year and a half,” Hill said. “I found the program by the posters hanging HYV\UK H[ KPɈLYLU[ JHTW\ZLZ ¹ :LLPUN [OL ZWVY[Z VɈLYLK [OYV\NO ACC’s intramural program, Hill played on the basketball, tennis HUK JV YLJ ÅHN MVV[IHSS [LHTZ ¸ I grew up playing these sports, PUJS\KPUN ÅHN MVV[IHSS H[ [OL ULHYI` recreation center and loved them since.”

Being active and engaged in these sports allowed for Hill to exercise his leadership. “I enjoy playing with everybody and being a team leader. Along with making sure everyone is happy without any verbal arguments.”

Basketball coach and Intramural Sports Coordinator, Tracy Partin, became an inspiration to Hill throughout his time at ACC. “He taught me to always push at what you love, no matter Scan to watch how hard,” Hill said.

“It may be not only on [OL JV\Y[ VY ÄLSK I\[ VɈ P[ ¹ 6Ɉ [OL JV\Y[ HUK full interview away from his work 40 | Life4U and studies, Hill

stays active outside.

Hill enjoys the Austin scenery and exploring the greenbelt.

Pursuing his goals, Hill’s Ä]L `LHY plan consists of owning a house and business.

Thinking about his success at ACC, Hill recommends the importance of keeping your head in the game.

“Never feel like you might be the worst player on the team,” Hill said. “It’s all about going out and having fun, because the moment you miss the excitement you will never be able to go back and experience it.”

Despite the hard work and devotion Hill has put into all his work, he was taken by surprise winning this award. “It was a shocker,” Hill said. “When you think about it, there are over a hundred guys, so when I found out I was Athlete of the Year it made my heart sing.”

Fall 2017 Intramurals Registration opens on August 28th. Sports include Co-Rec Softball, Bowling, Soccer (Men/Women), Women’s Volleyball and Men’s Basketball.
