Yolanda Vazquez Barajas
Majors: Social Work and Psychology
Campus Activities and Achievements: Saints Women鈥檚 Soccer Team, Event Services Work Study that allowed me to be a part
of San Antonio鈥檚 Fiesta Flambeau Parade, OLLU鈥檚 5K Confetti Run, and a variety of
events on campus.
Impact of OLLU: 天美影院has impacted my life in many ways. It introduced to me life-long friends, gave
me memories that are unforgettable, professors that have been the best mentors, and
the knowledge to succeed in the future.
An important life lesson: The biggest lesson I learned was that life does not always go as planned. The goal
is to never give up and have zero regrets.
Plans for the future: Firstly, I plan on pursuing my master鈥檚 and with my degree I hope to become a clinical
social worker with the focus on supporting children, adolescents, and moms. I hope
to provide that support to those in need and make a positive impact in people鈥檚 lives
in any manner. I have been accepted into graduate school at UT and have a job lined
up.
