Academics with Jacey

Transcript

Bringing higher education to Poplar means that academics are at the core of everything that FPCC does. Jacey, a current student, has always placed an emphasis on academics throughout her life, so though she went away for a while, it’s no surprise that she landed back at FPCC. Take it away, Jacey.

– Thank you, Alex. Hi everyone. So growing up, education has always been a pretty big deal for me and what I love about the Fort Peck Community College is it’s a really big deal for them too. For the past few years, I was a stay-at-home mom near Busby Montana, but was starting to go a bit stir crazy. I decided I wanted to continue my education and the best way to do that was to come back home so I could be close to my mom and my brothers. Although I don’t know where life will lead me yet, I do know I want to help other people and Fort Peck Community College has done an amazing job at preparing me for whatever path I choose. Currently, I am studying for my Associates of Arts and General studies, and I have learned so much in a mixture of different class setups, from in-person classes to classes online. There are so many positive aspects of Fort Peck Community College that will help you on your academic journey. For me, the support I received from the friendly staff has led to a job working for the Safe on All Roads program affiliated with the school. I help mentor other students and pitch in setting up events like the career fair and workshops for the community. Fort Peck Community College is such a great place to choose for furthering your education. It’s the whole package and I’m so lucky that this is my community college. With the knowledge that I have received, I am hoping to start a gardening program and a horse equine therapy for the Fort Peck community. Well, thank you for listening. Back to you, Alex.

– Nicely done, Jacey, and congrats on the position with Safe on All Roads. It’s incredible the way that FPCC meets students on their level, compelling them to succeed both inside and outside of the classroom. We know whatever you ultimately choose to do, you’ll be a success.
