Fernando Sanchez Jr. from our El Jardin property has just proven to all that social or financial status does not determine your success in life. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. Go to college, get a degree, become something greater than what you already are and then push yourself to exceed that greatness. Success isn't limited. If you set your mind to it, believe in yourself and work hard enough you will accomplish unimaginable things.

Steve Maraboli says, ""Sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isn't what you GET for it, but what you BECOME for it."

Don't be sidetracked by life's hardships or negativity, because at the end of it all you will be a stronger individual.

Here are some tips from some of our very own attending college for others who are looking at attending college:

Tip 1: Don't procrastinate. Buy a planner and organize your studies, assignments and exams.

Tip 2: Arrive early to campus in order to find parking.

Tip 3: Get involved with organizations that will boost your resume!

Tip 4: Register for classes in advance. You don't want to be wait-listed.

Tip 5: Do your FAFSA!!! Finances should not be a reason to why you shouldn't pursue a higher education. Grants, loans, work-study and many more options are available to help pay for tuition.

Tip 6: Take advantage of the endless number of resources you have access to at the university. E.g. Library, Tutor stations, databases, etc.

Tip 7: And last but not least buy a bike. It just helps get you to class quicker.

About Edinburg Housing Authority

With more than 65 years of service, the Edinburg Housing Authority takes pride in providing assistance to those who need it most in the Rio Grande Valley.   As a result, throughout the years we have focused our agency’s efforts and resources to ensure struggling low-income families with an equal opportunity to obtain safe, decent and affordable public housing, and thus improve their quality of life.  But even though we help hundreds of families in need, we realize that to truly help impoverished residents rise out of poverty and better themselves our agency has to do much more than  providing them with a place to live.   As a result, in addition to providing housing for our residents we have now made it our mission to promote self-sufficiency throughout the agency and do everything in our power to help those we serve develop the necessary work skills and education to succeed and ultimately provide for their loved ones on their own.   With dedication, integrity and compassion we take pride in helping our residents each and every day. We believe and ardently hope that through every family we help we make a difference in the present and someday future of the city of Edinburg and the Rio Grande Valley.
