I chose to attend SC4 after finding out about the radiologic technology program from a classmate at Macomb Community College. I applied and started in the program two weeks later. I then found out about the TRIO program from my instructor Monica Rowling. After gaining an understanding of what TRIO had to offer, I applied because I knew I would benefit from their personalized holistic approach and support services.
The radtech program is a two-year commitment, and I certainly have days where I don’t feel like being in class or where I struggle, but I keep going because I know this is a step in accomplishing my goals. My TRIO advisor Shawne Jowett has been really helpful on days when I feel discouraged — it’s really nice knowing I have someone to talk to. She has been a huge source of support, encouraging me, helping me register for classes and providing information about what SC4 has to offer. I would definitely recommend the TRIO program to my classmates or anyone who is considering SC4.
As for my future, after I take my registry exam I’d like to cross train in CT and or start working on education for health and business administration. Overall, I want to keep growing, learning and focusing on how I can help out my community.
