I am a full-time student, full-time employee, and a full-time mother of four kids. This is my second time starting college, with my first time not being a great experience. Instructors at another institute were not understanding of students attempting to balance college with the rest of life outside of school. At DCTC, I am enrolled in the Business Management program, and the instructors have been willing to put in an effort to understand their students and learn about our lives. We are not just another student or another number to them. They make it possible for all of us to learn, participate and get one step closer to earning a degree.
