She continues her education in three different arenas as she prepares to pursue a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering. She's taking a photography class at Lake Region, calculus class at PCC and also attends Valencia Community College. Next year she plans to attend the University of Central Florida. One of the most important things students learn while participating in the dual enrollment program is that college is not just an extension of high school. College allows a student so much more freedom and requires so much more from you as well.
Students are responsible to attend class, take notes, and be prompt and prepared for class.
Ryan is taking classes in the computer technology area and is in a class with people who are working in the field. Doing well in classes with adults who are already in the job market has helped my confidence. The instructors are well informed about technical advances and what's hot in the job market. This allows me to adjust my course of studies to reflect what I want to do when I graduate. I have enjoyed the discussions about what the computer industry is like and what is real.
