Q: Tell us about your experience attending community college and how it inspired your future plans.
A: I started to go to community college while I was still in high school which allowed me to continue to stay engaged since the coursework had gotten old and tired. Community college allowed me to meet older people and hear about their paths and journeys and how they got into higher education, which was extremely inspiring.
Q: How did community college aid in transferring credit to career?
A: Transfer credits are courses you’ve taken at one school and can be used to fulfill the requirements of a degree or diploma at a different college or university. The community college has every option including transferable credits that can provide all the flexibility to get closer to your goals.
Community college allowed me the flexibility to do all these things and try all these different paths over the years from women’s studies to analytics for Post.
"Community college was my foundation."
Q: What can we do to check our biases about community college?
A: Think of community college as what it is: an opportunity. It helped me get ahead - a big WIN for me.
In fact, I recently bought a new car for myself and the guy who sold it to me was considering community college. I encouraged him to start out at a community college and get his feet wet and figure out what he liked to do. He’s taken me up on it. Him and I have stayed in touch. I’m always around to mentor young people.
