Good morning, my name is Diane Hall and I am honored to be chosen as Big Sandy Community
Technical College's non-traditional student. This semester all of my classes are online.
I'm a wife, a mother, and a grandmother of seven. I started work right out of high school.
Not long after I graduated high school I started for a local manufacturing company. I was employed
there for almost 26 years. I was laid off due to economic cut backs. But the lay off
opened a door for me to be able to return to school, or go to college. This morning
I am getting ready to enter the CER office. I'll be there for the remainder of the day.
I do a variety of things in there from dusting the tables off to sweeping the floor to helping
people if they need help, if it's something - a class I've already taken. If there was
some advice that I could give any oncoming students, they need to make sure that they
check out the resources available to them. Don't be afraid to ask for assistance. All
of my instructors have been great in helping with any problems that I've had. They've worked
me through them. And its been a great experience being able to do this. I will graduate with
my associates in business in May and I have decided to go on for my Bachelors degree.
