Letter to the Editor: Students achieve dreams through CCRI
The Providence Journal, Professor Panaccione 12/29/14
The most rewarding aspect of the profession of teaching is to witness students attaining their academic goals. As the day of graduation approached many years ago, a student wrote: “I will proudly walk across the stage to receive my diploma from the school that propelled my dreams forward full blast!”
She did walk across that stage and continued on with her undergraduate and later graduate studies. She represents the many graduates of the Community College of Rhode Island who have realized their dreams by their sheer determination, motivation and steadfastness. As Marian Wright Edelman stated, “Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.”
As the largest community college in New England, the Community College of Rhode Island is a true gateway to countless possibilities that is indeed propelling “dreams forward full blast” and where students are discovering their own unique potential and coming alive as learners. As Goethe stated, “What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it – boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
It is never too late to begin realizing one’s dreams.
Former remarkable students now inspiring future students to realize their dreams:
- Mr. Brehan F. Brady; Royce Fellowship; Cornell University
- Ms. Aimée Chartier and Mr. Joel Fudge
- Ms. Julie Cuddigan
- Professor Julie M. Felci
- Professor Karyn-Lynn Fisette
- Kelly A. Grace
- Mr. Chad McFarlane
- Mr. Jean Nsabumuremyi
"What you can do, or DREAM you can do, begin it. BOLDNESS has genius, power, and magic in it." - Goethe
For my former students, please contact me, if I may have the honor to share your success
