  1. Hi, everybody.
  2. Today I'm gonna talk to you a little bit about
  3. Andres Choice of colleges to attend.
  4. So first, let's learn a little bit of under.
  5. So Andre was his high school valedictorian, and he really
  6. is passionate about history, especially black history.
  7. He wants a career involving history.
  8. He spent some time working at a history museum this
  9. summer and really enjoyed learning about black history and especially
  10. the history of his family.
  11. And he really wants to keep studying history.
  12. He doesn't have a real clear career path identified because
  13. he's not sure what he wants to do with that.
  14. But he knows that he wants history to be kind
  15. of the center of what he studies.
  16. He comes from a really supportive family who support him
  17. in his pursuit of a history area.
  18. But they do want him to go ahead and decide
  19. and make some decisions on what he wants to study.
  20. So some of the considerations that Andres looking at are
  21. the academic programs, the extracurriculars and the climate of the
  22. campus. So the two schools that Andre is considering our
  23. Nash Community College and Johnston Community College Nash Community College
  24. was established in 1967.
  25. It's located and Rocky Mount.
  26. North Carolina has 99 academic programs and a very strong
  27. national online presence.
  28. Johnston Community College, which was established two years later in
  29. 1969. It's located in Smithfield, North Carolina, and serves approximately
  30. 13,000 students.
  31. Preview some of the pros for each school.
  32. Nash Community College has a very strong online program that
  33. has been in place for years.
  34. It has wraparound service is called Blue Love, which provides
  35. scholarships and mentoring and student wellness center benefits.
  36. It's a very beautiful campus, a little more rural, and
  37. it's a warm and welcoming environment.
  38. Johnston Community College is has a couple of items that
  39. Nash does not, including a history club, Ah, Black History
  40. Month Committee and a specialized honors program for high achieving
  41. students. So how did Andre make his decision?
  42. Andre decided to attend Johnston Community College, and the reasons
  43. are, the academic program is basically going to be the
  44. same at both schools.
  45. He's gonna pursue a new associate of arts degree in
  46. college transfer.
  47. That way he'll get all these basic and his regular
  48. credits. Out of the way as he's coming in, is
  49. a valedictorian.
  50. It's very possible that he also has some A P
  51. credits. Eso he may not even be act the school
  52. for the whole two years.
  53. He's probably not going to struggle academically as valedictorian.
  54. He's probably very well prepared for the college.
  55. So either where he either school, he goes to, he's
  56. gonna be comfortable.
  57. And it's very likely, in addition to that, that he
  58. may need some of it somewhat of a challenge.
  59. And because Johnston has that specialized honors program that may
  60. offer a little bit more of a challenge to him.
  61. But what really so sold him and what seals the
  62. deal are some of the extras.
  63. The History Club, the Black History Committee.
  64. He's really interested in history in black history, especially so
  65. having Johnston recognized those committees, and those clubs really give
  66. him some opportunities that he wouldn't get necessarily at Nash.
  67. Additionally, Johnston's closer to Raleigh and that's closer to the
  68. big city, so he'd have a little more opportunity for
  69. internships and other programming as well.
  70. So that's how John Andre decided to attend Johnston Community
  71. College and hopefully he will be happy and successful and
  72. complete his associates degree and go on to a four
  73. year university, where he can decide what exactly he wants
  74. to do with this history degree.
  75. Would he like to go into museum studies?
  76. Or would he like to go into teaching or just
  77. stay in history in general and do research?
  78. So that is Andres Choice, and he chose Johnston Community
