QUINCY COLLEGE CHANGED MY LIFE

If you do the math, I could have completed two Bachelor’s Degrees in the time it took to complete my Associate’s Degree, but I would not give up those eight years for anything.

It was 1996 and after years of soul searching and even a longer span of time away from the classroom, I decided to return to school. This was such a difficult decision, I thought that the rest would get easier…boy was I wrong! I needed to find a school that fit my needs, my lifestyle, and my budget. I had to work full time so I needed to find a school that understood that students had lives and obligations outside of the classroom. I needed to find a place where I could grow and that other students like me would be there to change their lives.

I found Quincy College.

In 1996 I signed up for my first class, Introduction to Psychology. I loved it! Thanks to my wonderful instructor, my family, the friends I made, and the support of the school, I returned for another course. I took one or two classes each semester…slowly but surely. In the Spring of 2004, I was awarded my Associate’s Degree.

Quincy College taught me that dreams really can come true.
