true. Having my children there to celebrate my accomplishment is one of the proudest moments of my life. It was not just my hard work and sacrifice being celebrated that night. It was theirs as well. HACC changed our
lives. I am reminded of that night often when I speak to future students. When they are scared or unsure if they can be successful, I think back to that night and smile. I assure them that HACC is very invested in
their success. If they show up, work hard and use all of the resources that the College has to offer they will be successful.
