First-gen Tarleton grad to share her journey at commencement
From TSU Newsroom
STEPHENVILLE Alexis Soriano takes seriously the responsibility of being a first-generation college student.
“There’s definitely pressure,” said the featured commencement speaker at Saturday’s graduation ceremonies, set for 10 a.m. at Memorial Stadium.
That’s what she’ll talk about in her speech.
“I’m the first one to do it, so that means I have a responsibility to do well for my younger sibling. That’s my motivation. She can see that if I did it, she can do it, too.”
Alexis will be awarded her bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and will leave behind a legacy of academic success.
