Its the "second chance" or for some the second "second chance", Im currently in the GTC program in San Antonio, TX at Palo Alto College and its a great way for me to get my diploma and college hours at the same time! I had allot of attendance problems in high school and when my district kicked me out I really didn’t have no where to turn and wanted to give up, and just hearing the expectations that my parents would tell me over and over " without school your not going to have nothing" that over and over, I was lost on how to continue my junior and graduate. Even only having 1.0 credit as a junior and not having the rest due to absences I knew in my head it’s too late to catch up! But when I was kicked out of my school district, I knew school was over for me, But... One day on the radio I heard the GTC commercial and I gave it a shot by calling and the next thing I knew I was called in for an interview and that’s where my road back to success! Now im getting ready for my "transition" where I will be taking college classes at 17 yrs old! At the same time im still working on retrieving my credits back. GTC is a blessing for me, and the staff at my location well they are so helping, caring and overall just there for us without judging... Now because of GTC I KNOW I will have a diploma and an associate’s degree, but that’s not all Im striving on getting my bachelors in computer engineering! Thanks Gateway to College for EVERYTHING!
