I have been having such a great time watching the Olympics and am awed by the determination and risk-taking of the competitors.
It reminds me of that same determination of some of the new students I have recently met. They have enrolled at Granite State College, our Conway NH College campus. They are going through the process despite significant family and income issues.
One woman is juggling her 2 jobs and family to get her online adult education classes completed. Another did poorly in High School but is determined to prove she can do college level work and is succeeding in her behavioral science classes. Another young mother was happy to find she could benefit from our affordable college experience and is getting financial aid even while taking part time classes.
Let's celebrate the determination and risk-taking of our students as they too can be seen as Olympians!
