By building connections and fostering relationships, you might find that the original path you had in mind is simply a stepping stone to a brighter future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI chose to attend Tarleton State because it was the only college that felt like home when I visited. The staff, students, athletics, all accepted me for who I was. I wouldn&#8217;t be who I am today without attending. Tarleton is a school that allows you to find yourself in your time there. Attending this university is truly a once in a million experience,\u201d Pearson shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the various degrees and programs offered at Tarleton State, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/\"><strong>https:\/\/programs.tarleton.edu\/<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.advgbbtn-d81c3813-a3e5-4946-a443-f6a2f95d0238{font-size:18px;color:#fff !important;background-color:#4f2d7f !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:1px !important;border-style:none;border-radius:10px !important;}.advgbbtn-d81c3813-a3e5-4946-a443-f6a2f95d0238:hover{box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-d81c3813-a3e5-4946-a443-f6a2f95d0238 > i {font-size:30px;color:inherit;float:left;margin-right:7px;}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> \u201cMy greatest accomplishment was being able to find my passion away from track &#038; field.
