“You’re always a student of something. Every stage of life, you're always learning from situations. Let that drive you.” - Mason, Engineering student Dallas College. Read his inspiring story below:

You’re very involved with TRIO, a student support service offered at colleges to provide students with academic help and assistance, and it seems like you found a home here. What do you think contributed to that?

"What I think contributed to it was really finding myself. TRIO provides all the tools and support necessary to succeed at the college level, all for free! Getting into college made me think that it was all proper and professional. TRIO completely changed that for me. They taught me that college isn't just a place to find what you want to do, but to learn how to express yourself in a world that you couldn't before. TRIO was just a catalyst for the self-confidence I have now. The more that I grew into my college time with them, the more I grew into myself and the person I am today.”

What happened in high school that made you say, 'Yeah, I want to go for engineering'? How did you get to that point?

"So, in my high school, we were put into pathways based on our interests. There was engineering, health science, aerospace. There were a lot of different branches, but I was put into aviation. My friends and I had worked at an airport as well. It was Dallas Executive Airport. I got an internship over there, and it was really cool work, really awesome seeing everything. Then I volunteered at the airport as well because they had these air shows and workshops tailored to kids. They had these veteran events as well. But I got the interest in it from the internship and growing up in that environment in high school."

What legacy do you want to leave behind?

"What I'd want to leave behind are the connections. To make other people around me better because it's worked for my workplace. It's like my presence is enough to be in that — it just feels like nurturing or caring. So, just to bring that kind of effect wherever I am and just for it to be there, I think that's the legacy I want."

“I get emotional talking about what Dallas College has meant to me. My professors really transformed my view of myself. My mother brought me here as a kid. I was inspired here as a young man. I went away, became a teacher, and then Dallas College hired me to come back. Now I’m transforming lives myself.” - Dallas College alumni and professor, Sean Mixon. Learn more about his story below.

What started your journey with Dallas College?
“My story begins with my mother’s dream to better the lives of her three boys. She chose to improve her life by going to Mountain View, and at the time, she enrolled me in Kiddy College there. I was 5 or 6 years old, walking these wide hallways and looking at the planes hanging from the ceiling. There was something about being in that environment of higher learning that planted a spirit of education in me."

How did Dallas College change the way you see yourself?
“I had never considered myself to be smart. Then Dr. Hickey handed me a paper from my speech class and told me I was ranked No. 1. Experiences like that transformed me. My professors poured into me and gave me hope.”

What led you from being a student to becoming a professor?
“I started out wanting to be a motivational speaker. Then I discovered philosophy at UTA and fell in love with it. Eventually, I realized, ‘I may need to get a graduate degree and a doctorate so I can do this during the day and get paid for it.’

“Before becoming a professor, I spent nine years teaching in public schools. My final year at Nimitz was especially meaningful. Many of my students faced poverty, homelessness, family violence and other challenges. Some were reading at a fourth-grade level while in 10th grade.

“When they received their state test results and saw that they had passed — some for the first time — it was incredible. We had the best results they had seen in years.”

Why did you want to return to Dallas College?
“I fell in love with education here, and I wanted to give back to the community that gave so much to me. Now, I’ve even had the opportunity to teach some of the same students I taught in eighth grade — only now they’re adults sitting in my college classroom.”
