I graduated from City Colleges of Chicago-Harold Washington College with an associate's in business/economics yesterday evening!! I'd like to appreciate & acknowledge everybody who has made an impact throughout my time at Harold Washington College and City Colleges of Chicago in general whether you're a fellow student, professor, faculty, administrator, and beyond! For any highschool student or prospective college student, please highly consider community college!!! I have not once regretted my decision to attend community college straight out of highschool, and I'm so proud of myself for making that great decision 🙌🏻. (even a fantastic financial decision at that) I also would like to shout-out to the Star Scholarship program for the support in regards to the full coverage for tuition, books, and supplies! I'm so glad to have taken full advantage of this program. I am eager to finish the rest of my undergraduate experience at a 4-year university and achieve a bachelor's!!
