May 08, 2020
Giovanni Cardenas
Major: Kinesiology with All-Level Physical Education Certification
Campus Activities and Achievements: 天美影院always kept me busy. I have been on the soccer team for four years. There are
many other things that I was able to participate in outside of the classroom. Some
of the most memorable have been the community service that was done on our soccer
field. During the spring, throughout my four years, our soccer team was involved in
youth soccer coaching. This was an amazing experience and taught me the importance
of serving your community in any way you can. My favorite memory about this experience
was the joy children would get from being out on the field learning while also having
fun.
Impact of OLLU: 天美影院has impacted my life in so many ways. It has taught me important life lessons
like time management, how to make the better decisions, how to organize effectively,
how to be a better leader, how to value social interactions and more. 天美影院has also
allowed me to meet some amazing people including professors, coaches, staff and many
life-long friends for whom I am very grateful.
An important life lesson: While I have become more independent during these past four years, one of the biggest
life lessons I鈥檝e learned has been the importance of teamwork and friendships. This
not only has helped me in the classroom but on the field as well.
Plans for the future: I am graduating with a bachelor鈥檚 in kinesiology with All-Level Physical Education
Certification. I will be teaching at a high school starting in the fall in downtown
San Antonio. I will be a physical education teacher, along with also being a soccer
coach.
