Meet a few of our CRCP Students

I'm from a family of hard workers. My parents both have associates degrees and my two sisters have bachelor's degrees from great schools. As you can tell, education is important to our family. My husband offers me the support that I need to balance our family life with the CRCP-- college, a physically challenging job at UPS, and early work hours. I believe that in order to succeed, one has to work hard.

I've worked as a flight attendant and a day care teacher. I'm a graduate of Marian High School in Chicago and currently attend Moraine Valley Community College where I'm pursuing an associate's degree. After Moraine, I'll transfer to Chicago State University where I can continue participating in the CRCP while pursuing my bachelor's degree in early childhood education. One day I'll be a teacher. I believe the reason I'm successful is because I attend classes, participate, study, complete all assignments, and even use tutors when I need the help. It's paid off. Along the way, my academic goals have included making the Dean's List (I've done that!) and continuing to earn the CRCP academic awards each semester; a cash bonus of $250 or $500 for making good grades.

Actually, the CRCP hasn't been as hard as I expected. I take my classes after work and stay on campus until I've finished my homework. And I believe in taking naps because they make me feel better. Give it a try. Find a routine that works for you and start working toward your goals!
