Student of the Week: MaShon Gaddis

2018-01-29
SCC Student of the Week MaShon Gaddis.

To honor some of our most tenacious students, our Student Recognition Retention Action Team has started a “Student of the Week” award.

Faculty members nominate students based on their tenacity, and the team selects one per week.

Congratulations to MaShon Gaddis, who's been named our "Student of the Week!"

Name: MaShon Gaddis
Program: I am a transfer student.
Graduation: 2019 is my expected graduation date.

What motivates you to continue and excel at SCC in spite of circumstances you may face?
Sometimes it feels like I am on a wing and a prayer. I have already dropped two classes trying to lighten my load. 
Blazing this new trail limited in resources and knowledge, and with others following and counting on me, is a great responsibility. Discouragement is a constant foe. If it were not for the encouragement that I receive from my professors, tutors, and Student Support Services I think that I would have given up long ago.

What advice would you give to future students who might face similar situations?
Student to student, I would say, please receive the gifts of support from SCC, they are really there to help us up and out into the world of a successful life through career.
