As a student that has remained on the presidents list, I have worked hard to get to where I am at. Along the way I learned many new skills and my world has been opened to the possibilities that lay before me. Thanks to my college classes, I now produce professional photography. Many people ask me how I produce such quality work. My answer is always the same – “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants” – Isaac Newton.

I find that to encourage other people to take the hero’s journey in college is to first show them why. When we produce quality work people will become inspired and curious. People will ask questions and try to learn. When this happens, we will have 3 choices: 1. We can give them free advice, 2. We can charge them for lessons, or 3. We can direct them to Peninsula College.

While I may charge them for lessons, I will always first recommend Peninsula College for all of the amazing people who truly care about the students. I will always praise my mentors for the valuable insight, instruction, and support that I received along the way. While I can teach people some things, Peninsula College has the capability to not only teach a wide range of subjects, they are also equipped with resources to help students reach their goals.
