Back on Track

Transcript

Next up, we’re talking to South Mountain Community College student, Briana. She’s already had a year of university under her belt when she transferred in, but was feeling a lack of motivation. Let’s hear how her experience at South Mountain helped her get back on track. Briana, please take it away.

– Thanks for that intro, Alex. And what’s up everyone. I am so excited to tell you guys about my college journey today. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to be part of the medical field, but what I didn’t know were the alternatives available to help me get there. Prior to coming to South Mountain Community College, I have some doubt on whether or not I would have the ability to take courses at this school. I came in as a sophomore university transfer who was struggling to find motivation to continue their degree. Luckily, I found South Mountain right on time. Here, I was able to be transferred in as a student fast and efficiently. They offered several different types of learning formats and classes that are flexible for my hours. From this, I was able to achieve other goals on my life, such as becoming a phlebotomist and earning hours for my physician assistant school. In addition, I was able to take a number of classes that added on to my physiology degree. South Mountain offers a multitude of classes that can grant anyone the opportunity to start or continue their career path. Something I really appreciated coming from a university to a community college were the smaller class sizes. This allowed me to create more in-depth connections all over campus. South Mountain Community College has given me the second chance to keep pushing towards my degree. With their flexibility, I’m able to participate in activities that help support my future career. And with their support, I have the motivation to keep going. Thanks, everyone. And back to you, Alex.

– Thanks, Briana. It’s fantastic you are able to refocus on your medical education and keep pushing forward towards your degree. Those smaller class sizes and the added flexibility of the learning formats seem to have done the trick and help get your mojo back. Good luck and keep at it.
