I've been teaching with AWC for many years and love to help students learn Economics. In 2018, I reached one of my long-term academic goals by earning my Doctorate in Business. I'm so thankful it's done! As far as interesting facts...I was born in Germany, have jumped out of an airplane at midnight with a full combat-load of equipment, and I love to kayak each week. I hope we have a GREAT semester! michellesims https://padlet.com/michellesims/n17mgw2srdgqkd4d/wish/677902841 2020-08-12 22:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/michellesims/n17mgw2srdgqkd4d/wish/677902841 hquintanaa15 https://padlet.com/michellesims/n17mgw2srdgqkd4d/wish/686492176 Hi, My name is Hector Quintana. This semester would make it 3rd year since I've been enrolled at AWC and could possibly be my last since I would be graduated, achieving my AA and transferring to UofA and continue my degree in Agricultural Systems Management. My long term academic goal would be achieving my bachelors in ASM and maintaining a good GPA. Interesting things about me is that I born in Mexico, I am a United States Citizen, consider myself fluent in both English and Spanish, and I am a very quiet and chill dude.]]> 2020-08-19 04:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/michellesims/n17mgw2srdgqkd4d/wish/686492176 Hello, My name is Maria Chavez. This will be my second to last semester here at AWC I'm 20 years old I am an Agricultural science and food safety major I need a few classes before I get certified on both my majors my goal was always to finish both of them at the same time. Something interesting about myself is that I started working in harvesting since I was 12 and that is what influenced me to keep being part of the Ag industry and help grow our crops. https://padlet.com/michellesims/n17mgw2srdgqkd4d/wish/688078457 2020-08-19 19:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/michellesims/n17mgw2srdgqkd4d/wish/688078457 https://padlet.com/michellesims/n17mgw2srdgqkd4d/wish/688293784 Hi, my name is Margoth Soto,  iam in my third year of college, I'm 21 years old and I'm studying Informatics with a minor on Digital Design, I'm also working as a Resident Assistant on AWC.

I am currently attending both, AWC and UA to major in Agriculture. More specifically, Sustainable Plant Systems with an emphasis in Food Safety. Hopefully, this is my last semester to graduate. I have also recently, acquired an internship at a harvesting company as a food safety representative; it has been nearly a month. And before that, I have worked in some research projects including plant breeding and hemp trials. I like agriculture for numerous reasons. For the most part, I like what agriculture covers; economy and science among other issues. 

My long-term academic goal is to prepare for a master’s program. I would like to be a Physician Assistant. However, I am also thinking about preparing for the MCAT. 

I consider myself more of an introvert person, but lately I enjoy being more of a leader and making the difference.
