Why did you choose Silver Lake College?
I chose Silver Lake because of the environment, the financial aid, the people, and the size of the college.

It has given me the opportunity to attend college and manage to stay on track.

Did receiving financial aid impact your decision to attend Silver Lake College?
Yes, if I would have attended another college or university, I would have received less financial help.

Everything. I also like the benefit of being able to helping other people in their lives through my career.

Have you learned something during college you didn’t expect? 
Yes, I have. I learned a lot about myself and who I want to be as a person.

What are your plans after graduation?
After college, I plan to teach and give back to students by expanding their educations.
