I am a DACA Dreamer. Both of my parents supported me through my entire college career and I made it despite the odds that were against me. I worked two jobs- working 40-50 hours a week to pay for my own expenses to minimize the amount of money my parents had to help me out with. I graduated from Texas A&amp;M with honors and without ANY college debt. I am a first generation college student from Guerrero, Mexico with a college degree and a stable full time job in my desired field.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bryanisd.org\/BryanCollegiateHS\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2020\/10\/Amayrani.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bryanisd.org\/BryanCollegiateHS\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2020\/10\/Amayrani.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.bryanisd.org\/BryanCollegiateHS\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/58\/2020\/10\/Amayrani-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 599px) calc(100vw - 50px), (max-width: 767px) calc(100vw - 70px), (max-width: 991px) 429px, (max-width: 1199px) 637px, 354px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each week, we will be spotlighting a Bryan Collegiate alumni and what they are doing now!
