Experiences at Valencia Community College

I learned that even though I didn't go to a major University straight out of college, I am still getting a great education at a cheaper price. Valencia taught me that people are all different and that we should do what we love just like the professors do at the college.

Getting the interview.

I went back to school to pursue a degree in something I actually wanted to do for a living. After moving to Orlando from Indiana with my wife, I waited tables for a year and a half while completing my Associate's in 19 months. Learned a lot about the creative business and enjoyed the experience as a whole....

I went specifically to take "required" courses such as algaebra, speech, literature simply because I was unsure what major I was most interested in.

I am currently studying Graphics Technology and Photography.

Studied in group classes; attended events and field trips relating to course; served as school library's reference assistant in spare time.

Obtained Power Systems I & II Certificates

I majored in subjects related to English and maintained a Phi Theta Kappa honors status and dean's list honor status. I started a writing group at the school and acted as vice president for that group. I tutored students in English and corrected their papers.

I worked a lot in Chorus and was active in a lot of clubs. I was awarded the Helpful Hands and the Ambassador Award, along with being the historian of a club.

Obtained an Associate of Arts Degree from this school. Gained foundational educational principles and acquired the degree while working full time.
