Honorable Mention: Congratulations to Karen Corral, The University of Texas at Austin 2014 Student of the Year!! “For me, giving back is the key to a happy life because the satisfaction of making a difference in someone’s life is something that cannot be bought—it can only be appreciated.” Karen Corral was born in El Paso, Texas, to Paula Corral. “Life has presented some bumps in my path, but with the help of God, and determination, I have overcome them,” says Karen, who lived in a foster care shelter when she was six years old while her mother recovered in the hospital. As soon as she was able to join her mother in the fields, Karen worked by her side harvesting onions. As a senior at Coronado High School, Karen earned a 91 average and graduated at the top of her class. Karen’s mother has been her biggest supporter in her extensive academic endeavors. Karen describes her primary passion as “helping others in any way, shape or form,” a foundation that has motivated her to excel as a leader. As a result of her hard work and determination, she has earned a full scholarship to St. Edward’s University, where she plans to pursue degrees in biology and psychology with a minor in Japanese.

Tan pronto como le fué posible, Karen empezó a trabajar junto a su mamá en el campo cosechando cebolla. Karen terminó la preparatoria en Coronado High School con un promedio de 91, permitiéndole graduarse con honores. Su madre ha sido el mas grande apoyo en sus diversos logros académicos.
