I want to study biology and eventually be a trauma surgeon. “It’s tough,” he said. “You really have to prioritize things and sometimes you have to say no because you have another obligation. It’s hard to manage at times.” Darjean is in the Ag Mechanical class within FFA, where he thrives. “FFA just provides so many opportunities to find a career path. There are some many tracks you can take,” he said. “It teaches you to be prepared, to be on time and to finish what you start. I love to weld and it’s a pretty valuable craft to have.” While he is soldering metal components today, his future could be soldering people back together. “I want to study biology and eventually be a trauma surgeon,” he said. “I love helping people and I love blood and guts.” The future Texas A&M Aggie is a model student, who is leaving a legacy at Crosby High School that hardwork pays off.
