The College Experience at the Univ. of Houston
This Spring First and Goal, Inc. partnered with Ft. Bend ISD and took students from their Care and Share mentoring program at Oyster Creek, Barbara Jordan, Quail Valley and Jaun Sequin Elementary on a field trip to the University of Houston. The students had an opportunity to visit the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work for a presentation and met with students and staff. The students were exposed to the various aspects of life as a college student. Our goal was to expose the students to a college so that they could see and experience what it will take for them to make it a reality in their own lives. There was also a general tour of the campus and a stop at the University of Houston Athletic and Alumi Center.

"Working with First and Goal, Inc. has been an amazing journey. Our school, Quail Valley Elementary, looks forward to having this program on our campus.I have worked with Mr. Smith and his team for the last 3 years. We have seen the children grow and be encouraged in lots of different areas such as leadership, academic achievement, and self-confidence to say the least. I have personally seen the children use what they learned in the sessions in their every day life at school. Thank you for giving our students the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful program."

It's amazing how they have taken ownership of becoming the best that they can be! The students have accepted the challenge to be leaders in their schools, homes, and communities. I feel very confident that the students will become future leaders of America. "

Thank you so much for participating in our Destination College event. Your presentation was innovative, motivational, and highly-relational to our students attending from over 10 different districts and over 30 individual campuses. Your message directly addressed many of the debilitating mindsets students must overcome in order to reach their dreams. Through your personal, purposeful and often humorous delivery, you engaged our students into really thinking about their futures and set a positive and action-oriented tone for the rest of the day. I really appreciate your dedication to students and your willingness to share your own life story as you inspire others to succeed.
Thank you again for being a part of Destination College and I look forward to working with you again in the future! Sonya Ramirez
Assistant Director, Center for College Readiness
Rice University

"Tyrone is a dynamic speaker! The way he is able to engage youth is outstanding. I have seen Tyrone work his magic with elementary age youth, middle and high school youth and college students. In each setting, he is able to captivate the audience with his testimonies and his interactive activities, but also encourage and motivate the youth to be their very best. He is the type of speaker that young people remember well into their adulthood."
