She has renewed her dedication to fi nishing her goals and completing her education. She is a single mother working full-time. She has surpassed her obstacles and the temptations to give up and quit. She wants to set an example for her son by pushing herself to complete her goals. Even when she is frustrated and tired, she won't allow herself to be defeated. With each new level and test, she pushes herself to go on to the next one and motivates herself to keep on trying. We know her hard work and determination will take her far!

To see Rebecca excel in the classroom, connect the dots between what is learned in the classroom to logically perform skill steps in the lab, then to see her provide high quality care in the clinical setting makes me so proud as her instructor. Rebecca is truly deserving of the Student of the Semester Award. Halie Medlock Occupational Education Halie has a strong commitment to become a massage therapist.

During this time she has maintained a 4.00 GPA. Hannah West Health & Public Services Hannah is most deserving of the Learning College Student of the Semester Award.
