the student from san antonio is currently an A-B student at UT. there is also the CAP program that allows automatic admittance to UT for a student that attends a UT system school for their freshman year, maintains a 3.0, and acquires 30 hrs. i am from san antonio. a few of my classmates that i graduated with that were "top-tenners" are at UT doing well. the former high school we attended is in the same district as Fox Tech, the alma mater of the student in the story. it all comes down to how far do you want to go and how far do you think you can go, b/c there will always be an obstacle in route to your goal, but will you let it stop your progress.
