I can't believe we have two weeks (or less) until this semester is officially done! I am amazed at how quick this semester has come and gone. I feel it is somewhat bitter sweet because next semester is it and then I will be getting ready for graduation. Do you remember when you first came here? I sure do...
When I first came here there was no such thing as an SCC Ambassador to show me around campus. I was doing good to find the building I needed to be in and make it to my class on time. Oh yeah, I didn't know the difference in parking lots or to get here early to find a spot during the first two or three weeks of class. I am a little partial because I am a SCC Ambassador, but new students that I have shown around have shared with me that they appreciate the tours we offer of the campus. There is always room for a student with a smiling face and energetic personality to join the team of ambassadors here.
Let me tell you what else I didn't know...we have some GREAT services and activities on campus and the best thing is a good majority are FREE! (Did you notice the two big bold words?) Free tutoring through the ACE Center, computer usage with up to date software, gym/weight room and we have some great activities that go on here on campus---again most of which are free! I had no idea around semester end in the past we have been graced with the privilege of water massages. On December 7th, 2011 (next week); just in time to break up the intense studying, we are going to have an ice skating rink and a snow globe here on campus. Free of charge. I have never ice skated in my life, not really sure I'm ready to start now, but I will be there to watch! Let's all keep a couple of fingers crossed for good weather, but not too many.
So, I said all of that to say this, it really is worth getting involved here on campus. Any other college that I go to is going to have some really big shoes to fill compared to what I have gotten here at St. Charles Community College. Quality education, great faculty/staff, clubs/organizations, and amenities that have not driven up the cost of my tuition! Is there any doubt that I would recommend this college to anyone?
Feel free to share what you like about SCC, I'd love to hear!

Hey Sara. Loved your blog! I too am a single mom (of 3) and a returning learner. I love SCC! I am not involved, other than to attend classes full time and I do get to know and communicate with other students outside of campus. I wish I could get more involved, but between maintaining my home and family, being my daughter's scout leader,working and going to school, it's a real challenge! I would LOVE to work on campus!! I just wanted to introduce myself, say thanks for the great blog and wish you the best of luck in the future.

Thank you so much for responding to my blog! I greatly appreciate it and your comment. I know it can be very tough trying to juggle so many things. But, if you ever have some "me" time and want to get involved even just a little bit--there are great clubs and organizations on campus! Hey, you can even start your own club if you don't see something you like. By the way, I have brought my boys to things like Relay for Life with the Ambassadors, Rhythm and Ribs and the Wellness Festival so there are family events too. I'm also bringing them to the SCC on Ice Wednesday night. Good Luck with everything and maybe I will even see you around.
