Let’s meet Esmeralda, a senior Middle School Education major from New Mexico. Esmeralda wants to be a teacher and she chose LCU for its renowned college of education with this 100% job placement for graduates. When she got here, she fell in love with the city of Lubbock, named a top college town, Lubbock doesn’t disappoint. Esmeralda, we cannot wait to hear more. Take it away.

– Thanks Alex. . Growing up, I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. As a first gen student that speaks English as a second language, I also knew that I wanted to be in a diverse and thriving college town that is welcoming, fun and safe. From the moment I stepped foot onto campus, I knew Lubbock Christian University was a perfect fit for me. What I love about LCU is the community, the relationships I have built and the strong networking opportunities. The professor’s efforts to guide and support students on their path has inspired in me, the kind of teacher I wanna be. With a hundred percent job placement rate for education majors, I knew LCU is where I needed to be and what a great college town Lubbock is, exactly what I was looking for. With big city attractions and small town charm, Lubbock has something for everyone. My friends and I enjoy everything from concerts and Saturday farmer’s markets to the amazing cultural district and the first Friday art trail. We get Broadway touring musicals and Lubbock has locally owned boutique coffee shops and restaurants. There’s always something fun to do. It was important to me when deciding on a college to consider the city. Lubbock is one of the top three cities in America for recent college graduates. It is also one of the fastest growing cities. The booming job market, social scene and affordability are just a few reasons many college grads are starting their careers here and calling it home. As I look toward graduation and my future as a bilingual teacher in Lubbock, LCU has given me the confidence to know that I’m prepared and equipped to not only teach future generations, but inspire them. Back to you Alex.

– Thank you, Esmeralda. We love how the LCU College of Education prepares future teachers and administrators. We can see why a full, one third of the school districts in the region are led by LCU graduates. It’s incredible and you’re right, Lubbock entertainment, cultural and food scene are amazing. That was an amazing story. Thanks again for sharing.
