Mikayla, Aleya, and Sharon have all put in there time studying, performing, and living the college life. Each young lady has earned a degree in the Bio Sciences. Each has tremendous intellectual abilities, but more so, they are physically gifted and determined to leave this world a better place than when they arrived. Aleya (jumping cheerleader) is the youngest of 4 daughters, all of which are multi-talented as well. She graduated from UTSA this year and is pursuing her PhD in Dallas. Aleya was a cheerleader for all 4 years that she attended UTSA, as well as many other organizations. She wants to work for the Military or start a program for less fortunate kids that allows them to have the same opportunities she has had in pursuing her education. Mikayla (leaning on Pedro) just graduated from UTSA, and is heading off to Georgia Tech to pursue her PhD in Bio-Sciences. She wants to head a corporation and make big decisions. She was also a cheerleader at UTSA. She has an incredible story about her life; one that vividly shows what true, genuine love is really all about. Sharon (lab coat scientist) is a few years ahead of both of the other young ladies. She just completed her PhD in Bio-Sciences. She actually invented a membrane that aids in the study of liquids when zapped with a laser. You talk about cool. She also wants to work in the corporate world. Sharon is not only intellectually gifted, but she is musically talented. She plays the violin and piano. She has performed with the SA Symphony, and numerous other big-time events. Her goal with her music is to make it in the industry by combining playing an electric violin and performing (song and dance). All three of these ladies blew me away with there ambition and fortitude in pursuing exactly what they want in life. Their diligence, persistence, and perseverance through 16+ years of education has not only benefited them, but also the universities they attended. When people say women can't do this or that, here’s proof that they can do anything they want to and achieve their goals. Mikayla, Aleya, and Sharon you truly are an inspiration to not only me, but to all those around you. May you make your mark on this world, and leave it a much better place.
Aleya, Sharon, and Mikayla
