NATE
Graduated: Denver West High School, Denver Center for International Studies
College: Colorado School of Mines
Career Goal: Petroleum Engineering
Nate left Thailand with his mother at the beginning of high school to escape poverty and live in a country where he would have a chance for a better life. Nate knew that school would be the key to achieving the prosperous future his mother and he dreamed of, but knowing little English, he couldn't imagine how he would succeed. Nate surrounded himself with positive friends, participated in extracurricular activities, graduated near the top of his class, and is now studying at the Colorado School of Mines in one of the nation's most challenging pre-engineering programs. He has since returned to Thailand for an internship with PTT Exploration and Production.
