We are almost there, three more weeks and we will be done with one more successful semester as UTRGV, but as we move forward to finish this semester, we start to feel the load of exams, projects, presentations, and so on and so forth. We as students feel the stress and think we are the only ones in these shoes, but in reality so do our professors and professional faculty and staff. 

We tend to forget and take for granted all the hard work these individual put in to help us as students. We always focus so much in the negatives perspective and things and don't take the time to appreciate the good things. 

We should take the time to appreciate all the hard work professors and faculty and staff do for us. A lot of the success we have in our lives we owe to our families and of course  to ourselves and our hard work, but we need to not remember that our professors, and faculty and staff have a big contribution to our success as well.

Therefore, I want to take the time to thank them all for their hard work and dedication to now UTRGV and its students, let's leave aside the frustrations of the merge and be thankful for the great opportunities provided and the ones coming our way with this consolidation of the two institutions. 

We are now closed to Vaqueros for the better, and the worse seems to start fading away, with time, hard work, and dedication UTRGV will become its best.
