<p>That’s what led Jorge Macias, a recent graduate of John Jay High School in San Antonio, to join the FIRST 200 freshmen at the University of Houston-Victoria in the fall.</p>
<p>He first heard about UHV when a recruiter came to his school to share with his classmates. What the recruiter said caught Macias’ attention.</p>
<p>“It was awesome. UHV had everything that I wanted,” he said.</p>
<p>Macias plans to eventually earn his Master of Business Administration degree and hopes to play for the new UHV Jaguars men’s soccer team.</p>
<p>“I’ve been playing soccer since I was 7 years old, and I want to keep playing it,” he said.</p>
<p>Macias played soccer and basketball for his high school and was a member of the National Honors Society.</p>
