It was very scary for this 63 year old woman, separated by 738 miles from my home and husband to take on higher education again. I thank God that I went over to the South Campus that day just mostly being curious.
I believe God has had a hand in my life the last few years. It was He would put it on my heart to stay here; Christmas 2018. I felt it was God’s decision to open a room at Maple Esplanade for mom and it was the perfect room. It was large and had 2 windows and lots of natural light. I felt it was with God’s guidance that I went over to campus that day.
I was blessed with great instructors and great classmates. Many people asked me if I taught at Northark. I always smiled and explained that no, in fact, I was a student. I was proud to be a student.
I like being able to ask others when I felt lost. I enjoyed getting my steps in on campus and throwing myself into reading, testing, and designing.
I just don’t think I could have done it without Benta, Ellen, and Misty. What great people to have such an amazing experience with!
I kept reading about PBL in the hallways. I knew what Future Business Leaders was. I worked with some kids in FBLA at Frederick Douglass High School in Atlanta, GA. I still have the t-shirt to prove it! I thought, “Maybe I could help the students here too.” Instead (like the Blessing Box), PBL helped me.
I donated a lot of things to the Silent Auction Fundraiser. I am good at fundraising. Then I started recruiting people. I also made a flyer for the benefits. Misty helped me sit at the Recruitment table one day with Stephanie and Paul. It was fun to try and get people involved. We talked to a lot of students!!!
The first three pages of a Power Point that I wrote the content for during our competition for Desk Top Publishing. Our subject was the National Dress Code. We won 3rd in the state!
