They have supported the faculty in all areas so we could carry on our teaching with small class sizes and the latest technologies in the laboratory as well as the classroom. The opportunity to work with such gifted colleagues here at Texarkana College these past eight years, has been the experience of a life time, Storey said. I guess what I have experienced here could be summed up as a group of professionals who truly care about our community as a whole and do everything possible to make sure our students are successful. I learn so much from my students because they really are remarkable individuals with rich life experiences and wonderful goals and dreams that never fail to inspire me. My general philosophy centers around the 'golden rule' as I attempt to treat them just as I would want to be treated, with fairness and dignity.
College students learn that they are ultimately responsible for their own success in the classroom.
The close support that students enjoy in high school from teachers and support staff is no longer available and that can be a real wake up call for many students. TC faculty and staff are a family who truly care about our community as a whole and do everything possible to make sure our students are successful. At Texarkana College we are on the cutting edge of patiently working with and converting that national priority into reality for the citizens of the Texarkana area. I can not think of a more important long term responsibility, and I also can not think of a job that I could ever love more.
