Damaris Mora

Hello, my name is Damaris Elizabeth Mora. I am currently a senior at Weslaco East High School. I am 17 years old and was born on January 6, 2002 in a small town called Weslaco located in the state of Texas. My family consists of my father, my two older sisters, and me.

I spend my time mostly in school, and when I am not in school, I am playing soccer with my team or working at my job.

My goal for this year is to graduate with honors and be the second in my family to attend college. College is a very important step to complete due to the fact that my parents weren’t able to go since they grew up in a traditional Hispanic household where college and second-level learning wasn’t the norm. Once accepted and admitted into a university, I will strive to earn my Bachelors of Science in Nursing (BSN) and become a Registered Nurse then an Obstetrics and Gynecological Nurse. I love helping people and making a difference, so helping deliver newborns into the world is basically my dream job. There is nothing better than being a part of a joyous milestone in a newly made mother’s life and seeing families form and come together.
