Thanks to earning my CDA I was able to obtain a full time job! Because I gave my all during my time in HCCC, my GPA opened the doors to continue my education. I will be obtaining my Bachelors in Sociology with a minor in Psychology on May 2021…many sleepless nights but so rewarding …Just put your mind to it; Education will open new doors.
