“I started at Lone Star College-Tomball two weeks after I moved to Texas,” said Jetzel Nazario, who moved from Puerto Rico with a clear goal: earn a degree and play basketball. “Now, two years later, I’m graduating. My experience was amazing, and the faculty, staff, coaches and students were so friendly. Lone Star College-Tomball feels like a second home to me now.”
