On September 23rd, 116 seniors from C. C. Winn High School were accompanied by 22 chaperones and traveled to Laredo, Texas to attend the Gear-Up IV Kick-Off to College Pep Rally at the Laredo Energy Arena. The Class of 2017 has been part of Texas ATM International University's Gear-Up program since they were in eighth grade. Throughout their time in this great program, the students have been able to become exposed to various colleges and opportunities. The trip to Laredo was no exception as students had the chance to visit with the various representatives of the colleges from all across the state that attended the college fair. In addition to that, they had the privilege of listening to renown motivational speaker, Ernesto Mejía, who delivered a powerful message that outlined how far he has come because he believed in himself.
These seniors are definitely off to a bright future!
