Both students elected to enter vigorous dual-programs at NTCC last fall in Honors and Pre-Nursing.  Both faced daunting challenges in research—Hernandez, in attempting to write a fifteen-page history of nursing in modern Texas, and Rodriguez, in writing an essay equally as long on modern Mexican immigration.
