Andy Garcia Arreguin to be Featured by Minnesota State

1/28/21

Minnesota West Student, Andy Garcia Arreguin will be featured by Minnesota State on February 2, 2021 during Minnesota West Community and Technical College's Virtual Day at the Capitol for 2021.  Andy is a Liberal Arts Program (History Education) major here at Minnesota West and plans to become an educator.  He shares his story and the large role great educators have played in his life.  Andy is a Worthington, Minnesota native and his anticipated graduation date is Spring 2022.

Andy shares his story below:

My biggest accomplishment in life so far isn’t having been a state champion in soccer. My biggest accomplishment has been realizing that I want to join the education field and become a teacher. Growing up in Worthington I didn’t have many teachers that could relate to me. I did, however, have many teachers who had a major effect on my life.

 Teachers play a major role in a young person’s life. I believe if I didn’t have the teachers I had I would not be where I am at now. I want to become a teacher to help students reach their full potential. I want to become a teacher to help make a difference in this world. Championships will come and go, but being able to say you made a difference in someone’s life — that is really a one-of-a-kind experience.

I chose Minnesota West as my school to continue my education because I saw they are investing not only in building a strong teaching program, but also in getting all sorts of people interested in teaching so every kid can have someone they relate to.
