Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream. I have a dream. And I’d be willing to bet you have a dream,
too. Upon entering Community College of
Vermont, students dream of earning an Associate’s Degree. Initially, some CCV students don’t know what
their dreams are beyond a degree, and their dreams take shape as they progress
through their degree plan. Other students
start CCV with clearly defined career goals and dreams.
Sometimes students doubt they can achieve what they really
want, sometimes the path to achieving the dream seems long and arduous, and
sometimes unexpected snafus rudely insert themselves into students’ lives,
making goal-realizing-journeys even more difficult. The good news is that commitment and a strong
desire to earn a degree paired with grit and perseverance are more powerful
than obstacles students may encounter.
CCV is an Achieving the Dream leader college. Achieving the Dream is a national nonprofit
helping community college students overcome obstacles to finish school, earn
degrees and realize dreams. Last year,
Achieving the Dream asked students how their college experiences are helping
them dream big.
You can check out the entries of community college students
from around the country. And we want to
ask you – are you a community college student who DREAMS BIG?
