Tabata Lua

I am currently a senior at Texas A&M University-Kingsville majoring in environmental engineering. I was born and raised in Mexico City. I am part of the tennis team here at the university and I got an athletic scholarship in order for me to be able to pursue my degree while I play the sport that I love. I am away from home most of the year and I do not get to see my family as often as I would like but I know that my hard work and dedication will pay off when I walk the stage.
Since I first came to school here in the United States I knew I wanted to be involve in the oil field as in environmental research programs. I am also looking forward to continue my education getting a master degree in Petroleum or Natural Gas engineering wherever I get the opportunity to do so.
As a student athlete I have learned how to work under pressure and come out with a plan that needs to be followed in order to achieve our goals as a team. I have developed different skills that I would love to share with my co-workers, I have learned how to adapt to the team in a short time, developed better principles, patience, honesty, generosity, integrity, fairness, self-control and prudence. I have learned how to be realistic with my goals and have a plan B for every situation.
