Every Scorpion’s journey to graduation is unique, and at Nevada State, we take pride in giving students a platform to share their stories. Today, we hand over the mic to Nevada State grad, Jessica Mason, to share her story:
"A mother. A wife. A student. A full-time legal assistant.... A cancer patient?
That’s how 2025 began for me—my final semester, wrapping up two years of accelerated classes to complete my Bachelor’s degree in History with a focus in Pre-Law, so I could sit for the NALA (National Association of Legal Assistants) exam and become a certified paralegal this summer.
In January, I was diagnosed with melanoma. By February, I had surgery and learned it was Stage III melanoma cancer. Everything shifted. The future still undetermined. I thought, Why me? I considered pausing school to focus on treatment, thinking, maybe graduation can wait.
But somehow, I kept going.
I cried—a lot. I barely slept. I leaned on people I hadn’t even met in person yet—like Professor Griselda Wille, who checked in, prayed for me, and truly cared. Professor Derric Carter told me to take care of myself, and we’d figure out the rest. And somewhere between my support system and my determination, I chose not to give up.
I had come too far. I deserve to graduate.
Through this journey, I’ve become stronger than I ever imagined. One of my doctors told me the most powerful part of his job is watching patients find strength they didn’t know they had. At the time, I didn’t understand. Now I do.
Cancer is part of my story—but it doesn’t get to be my whole story.
Graduating this Spring means more than just earning a degree. It means I pushed forward through the hardest chapters of my life. I don’t know what the future holds—but I do know this: I’m stronger, more determined, and more unstoppable than ever."
