“Being a full-time student hasn’t been easy. I’ve had long nights and spent hours speaking with professors and visiting the tutoring centers, but it’s all part of the journey of getting a degree and achieving success.”
“HCC was the best decision I could have made, and I think people need to break the stereotype of what community college is. To anyone that is coming into college and is worried about affording their education, why not come to a community college and benefit from the long-term effects? If someone says to you, ‘Oh, you must not have been good enough to go to a university,’ you look them straight in the eye and say, ‘No, HCC had more of what I needed at the time, and they offered me the support to continue my education.’ I can’t say it enough, HCC has been the best experience and has been the foundation on what is going to be an incredible medical career for me.”
