Congratulations to Micah Blair

Micah's counselor, Mary Lou Florian, says, "You won't find a student who will work harder than Micah to contribute to the legacy of this opportunity or who will seek to use everything the program offers for personal and professional growth to the end of helping others."
Update: Ricky Canales
Ricky is in his final year of study at the University of Texas - Dallas. He is studying police science and psychology. He sent us the following update:
"As I wrap up the last of my Psychology classes and start moving towards my criminology ones, I will be able to look into different aspects and perspectives to definitively choose a specialization for my field... Overall, each of my classes provided very useful perspectives into the nature of my field and provided me with useful skills I can incorporate into my own methods to be more successful in my endeavors."
Ricky will graduate in May of 2027 and then plans to apply to graduate school.
Update: Mary Kohler
Mary is in her final year at Texas A&M University and she will graduate from the Nursing program in May of 2027. Mary writes,
"One of the most exciting milestones this year was being hired at Baylor Scott & White as a Student Nurse Tech. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to gain real-world hospital experience while continuing my education. I will be working full-time under the supervision of the Director of Nursing Professional Development. This position also gives me the opportunity for a job at Baylor Scott and White following graduation... This summer will also be exciting personally, as I recently got engaged this past winter and have begun planning for this next chapter of life while balancing nursing school, work, and Fish Camp, but I hope to find time to come back and visit the museum."
Update: Cayle Kelley
Cayle just completed her first year at Texas A&M University after transferring from Texas State University. She is studying biomedical science in preparation for attending medical school. Cayle updates,
"I had a wonderful semester and was able to achieve A’s in all my classes and now have a 3.86 GPA. I’ve had a lot of fun helping out the community with the surrounding organizations. I can’t wait to see what other opportunities arise in the future. I plan on spending the summer focusing on a solid checklist for getting into medical school post grad and preparing for my next semester."
Update: Zane Cooper
Zane has just completed his first year at Texas State Technical College in Waco. He is studying air conditioning and heating. Zane reports,
"My first year at Texas State Technical College in the HVAC/R program has been very rewarding. Coming into the program, I knew I wanted a career where I could work with my hands, learn real-world skills, and build a future for myself. Over the past year, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge and confidence in the HVAC field... This year has taught me not only technical skills, but also responsibility from living on my own and the importance of studying and staying disciplined. Every class and hands-on lab has helped prepare me for my future career, and I am excited to continue learning and gaining experience in the field. I am currently on track to graduate with my Associate’s Degree in HVAC/R Technology in December 2026."
