About TGCCCC

As a child, I have dreamt to be either a doctor or a pharmacist in the military, and I believe HCC has been a great foundation for me to get to my destination and I can't wait to get there.

I started the process, going back to school when I was 41. I will get my first college degree at 45 as a single mom. If I can do it anybody can do it. Just start taking one class at a time, get your feet wet and once you do the one class you'll be hooked and you'll want more.

I choose ACC because they have an outstanding Paralegal program.

I decided to study electrical/electronics technology because I have always been curious about how electronic devices worked, not just on the outside but also on the inside. What I love most about being in the electrical/electronics program is all the hands-on projects. I have always been a visual learner and a “try it out” type of person. The program not only tests you on your academic knowledge, but it tests you more on your hands-on capabilities. After graduating from Galveston College, I plan to pursue a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering technology. I don’t know exactly what type of career I will have when I am done with school, but as long as I am working with electronics I will be a happy girl.

ACC professors have been very supportive. ACC also communicated many ways to fund college. Those opportunities have led me to meet some great people in wonderful programs like Student Ambassadors, Phi Theta Kappa, and Student Government. Now I’m on my way to further my education in a 4-year university, which I never had planned from the beginning but through ACC the opportunity arose.

It is a good transition between high school and college. ACC is affordable and close to home. While ACC was not my first choice I have come to realize the opportunities I will have by attending a college close to home and am excited to explore and take full advantage of all provided.
