When I first met Mr. Higgins, his main priority was to guide students like me and many others who aren’t familiar with what direction to proceed, achieve their goals that they have had set for themselves, especially be the best that they could possibly be. Over the course of my highs school years I worked with Mr. Higgins in the college planning process, applying to schools, completing financial aid, transferring AP and dual credits, as well as helping my father and I get into contact with the Veterans Affairs Office to use his VA benefits for my education. Since then I was able to achieve my goal of pursuing a career in biomedical engineering, and be the best of the best that there is. Since I’ve met Mr. Higgins he has inspired and motivated me in so many different ways emotionally and mentally. If it weren’t for him I would not be here where I am now.
