<p>Juan Andrade, a senior at Sinton High School in Sinton, found a lot of things he liked when he first heard about UHV.</p> <table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="3" style="bordercollapse: collapse;" width="100"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="bordercollapse: collapse;"><img alt="Juan Andrade" src="images/Uploads/underclassmen/AndradeJuan.JPG" style="border-width: 0px; float: right;" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="middle" style="bordercollapse: collapse;"><font size="1">Juan Andrade</font></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>&ldquo;UHV sent me an e-mail telling me I could be a first,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;That really caught my attention.&rdquo;</p> <p>The thought of being a pioneer heading out into the unknown really appealed to him, as did the thought of turning his love of video games into a career.</p> <p>Andrade wants to earn a degree in computer science with a concentration in digital gaming and simulation. And the program at UHV offered the perfect location.</p> <p>&ldquo;I like the fact that UHV is not too far from home, but it&rsquo;s far enough that I can spread my wings and fly,&rdquo; Andrade said. His other option for the program would have sent him all the way to Waco, which is far from family.</p> <p>Outside of class, Andrade is a member of his school&rsquo;s debate team.</p>
