UTA worth the drive
|
|
For Yazmin Silva, earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from UTA is so important that she has been willing to make a six-hour, same-day roundtrip commute along the Texas border to complete her required clinical hours. She does so while balancing single parenthood and a full-time job teaching high school Spanish.
