丽莎·吉米森，21岁
"I dropped out of high school in the 10th grade and 10 years later, in 1995 when I
was 25, I went back to get my GED so that I could attend 皇冠博彩 and get an
education to raise my two kids. I became a single mom and struggled but I had great
instructors along the way. I was only able to get my certificate because I had to
get a job as fast as possible. Now, I'm 50 years old, it's 25 years later and I have
come back to NC to get my degree. I was recently awarded the Caston Scholarship and
will graduate with my Associates in General Studies where I will then go on to TAMUC
and get my 教育 degree to teach English.
皇冠博彩是我的救星。 它是当地的，而且价格实惠。 I was able to obtain my goals to get where I needed to be in 1995 and now again in 2021. 1995年我的教授们都很棒。 其中有一个对我帮助很大； 爱尔摩太太。 在北卡大学的最后两年非常棒。 With COVID I wasn't able to learning face to face as I would have liked but the online classes enabled me to finish. My English Professor, Professor Dammon, was such a great influence on my writing and decision to be an English teacher; 她是一位伟大的老师。 Professor Dillman, is very understanding and helpful in my studies in Biology. She helped an old dog learn new tricks. Professor Solis, was very helpful in the way he taught, he kept the classroom relaxed so we could learn; the art of a good argument is what he taught me. I could not have made it without any of my professors along the way, from 1995 or 2019. 我永远不会忘记我在皇冠博彩的时光，谁知道呢； one day I might can teach English here myself.
My favorite part of NC was the experiments in Profesor Dillman's Biology class and the essays in Professor Dammon's class. （是的，我喜欢散文。） Waling the halls at 皇冠博彩 always made me feel proud and like I was doing something important. There was just something comfortable that felt good about walking across the courtyard area. 就连逛书店也很有趣。 There was a little nostalgia about it, I was returning to a place I had once been and I was finishing what I started. It felt good.
今年秋天，我将进入TAMUC继续我的教育学位。”
