May 3, 2022
Prairie View A&M University Alumnus John-Patrick Egbo ‘19 carries into the classroom at Holub Middle School the grace of God and a bit of groove to keep his students engaged, learning and diligent in their roles as positive contributors to society. And all this comes from a former, self-proclaimed classroom cutup.
Every success story starts in a classroom. Become a teacher.

The Whitlowe R. Green College of Education truly changed my life and perspective of teaching. Between the student teaching experience, my wonderful professors, and the administrative staff, they solidified my desire to learn more and want to teach. I could not imagine going to school for anything else, other than teaching. I am so excited to teach this upcoming Fall at North Shore Middle School in Galena Park ISD, as well as start my second semester of Graduate School at PVAMU. Prairie View A&M University produces productive people, and I am a product of that theory.
- Constance B. Rhodes, Spring 2019 Graduate

While growing up in Indianapolis, IN, my mother instilled in me the importance of service. To this day I remember every time we helped out at a food pantry trip, fed the homeless, or just donated time and/or money to people who needed. I was so accustomed to helping people that it became second nature to my life and a part of my values. There are not many people that have the heart to dedicate their time to helping ones in need. As a future educator, I am passionate about being able to help people that need help and also being able to see the rewards from it.
