Student Spotlight, Sandreana Lamer
Sandreana Lamer is a senior at Benton Community High School. Read on to find out more about her experiences taking college credit courses and how they have benefitted her...
When did you start taking college credit classes?
I started taking college classes my junior year
Which courses and/or academies have you enjoyed the most and why?
I enjoyed my Patient Care Academy class the most. It had three different classes involved. I enjoyed it because it is helped me further my education in a career path I’m interested in.
Who (Kirkwood instructor, staff, etc.) has made a lasting impact on you? Why?
The instructor that made the most impact on me was Brittney Langston. She taught me in my PCA class. She was always working hard to make sure everyone was prepared and keeping up with the workload and that we all enjoyed the class. We all got to know each other pretty well in the hours we spent together and she was very understanding to our schedules and to us as people.
What was the most surprising thing you learned taking college credit coursework?
The most surprising thing I learned was I didn’t know how to study. I had to learn what worked best for me and my friends and family were huge helps.
How do you feel taking college credit classes better prepares students for their futures?
Being in college classes now helped me learn things I didn’t know I needed, like how to study, before I get thrown into the college life. I appreciate being able to earn college credits in high school without having to be on a college campus because many classes are expensive to take when you are fully enrolled in college.
We commend Sandreana for her hard work and dedication, and wish her continued success in the years to come!
