Rachel Colton, SCC Student of the Week.

To honor some of our most tenacious students, our Student Recognition Retention Action Team has started a “Student of the Week” award.

Faculty members nominate students based on their tenacity, and the team selects one per week.

Congratulations to Rachel Colton who's been named our "Student of the Week!"

Name: Rachel Colton
Program: Career and College Promise
Graduation: May 2018

What motivates you to continue and excel at SCC in spite of circumstances you may face?
I hope to begin attending Western Caroline University in the Fall of 2018. At WCU, I want to go into the Elementary Education Program. This is what motivates me to work hard in my SCC classes, so when I get to Western I am one step closer to becoming the teacher I have always wanted to be.

What advice would you give to future students who might face similar situations?
My advice to other students who may face similar situations in the future would be: keep your goals in mind and give yourself something to work for, but most importantly believe that you can reach your goals. It takes a lot of hard work to reach your goals but all the hard work will pay off in the end.
