The day I received my degree I thought about all the unforeseen strugglesthat I managed to overcome. When they called my name during the commencementceremony, I was consumed with so much gratitude, knowing that I could achieveanything; regardless of how many years may go by and regardless of my circumstances,I can achieve anything.” Miranda Varnado – Harrison CollegebrianHow did Brian go from a high-stress employee toa certified massage therapist and owner of his ownspa? One day his work became so stressful that hequit his job, went on a cruise, and discovered howrelaxed a spa and a good massage can make you feel.Shortly after his discovery, Brian enrolled at MTTI-Wellspring in the Massage Therapy program.“I chose MTTI after looking at several of the othermassage schools because it had a more completeprogram, and the one thing that stood out duringmy visits was that the students all had smiles ontheir faces and looked happy. At the other schools,the instructors weren’t friendly, and the studentssimply looked unhappy.” Brian Bonewitz – MTTI-Wellspring"My name is Rebecca Walley, and Iam 51 years old. On June 21, 2010, Ibecame a graduate of Antonelli College.I chose the legal field because I was abattered and abused wife for over 16years, and I wanted to see that laws werebeing changed. I had heard many goodthings about Antonelli College, so whenmy daughter enrolled, I did as well."Rebecca Walley – Antonelli Collegerebecca“I graduated in March of 2010 with a Medical Assisting degree, fully prepared to work inthe field.

“I owe my success to Bryan College. I had dropped out of nursing school due to a badpregnancy. I did not know what to do with my life, until I walked into Bryan College.The staff was so helpful and I started school within a week. I did have a lot of trials andtribulations to overcome, but I did it. I graduated from the Medical Assistant course andfound a job within months of graduating. I now have a job I love. I have the hours I needto provide for my family, along with good job benefits. The staff at Bryan College hashelped me get on my way to a whole new future and lifestyle. For once in my life I haveeverything I could possibly want: a wonderful family, a house, and a career that I love.”Selena Barclay – Bryan Collegejermarioselena"After procrastinating for many years, I finally decided to go back to school. I tried other schools, but they kept givingme the run around. One day I was looking in the newspaper and saw a newspaper ad for CTC and decided to give thema call. I made an appointment, enrolled the next day and was on my way to my degree. The environment at CTC isgreat. It is like one big family. Someone in Admissions and Financial Aid is always available. Unlike some other schools,the instructors have actually worked in their field. The road was not always clear. I ran into a lot of obstacles along theway. There were times when I wanted to give up because of things I had going on in my personal life. I was laid offfrom my job, and in less than a week one of my instructors helped me find another job. He didn’t have to do that, and Ireally appreciate him for that. I received my Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice from CTC on February 12, 2010 andstarted a job in my field two weeks later. I work with juveniles and one day plan on opening a group home. Overall, myexperience at CTC was GREAT!!!!! I would recommend CTC to anyone." Jermario Jefferson – Career Technical Collegejuliana will“After much encouragement from friends,I applied to attend Herzing full time. Myadmissions advisor Julius was my firstpoint of contact. I never felt the pressurefrom him that I have felt from otherschools when applying. Everything Juliussaid was true about this school. I have hadthe best experience with Herzing. Notonly was it flexible, but the instructorswere also there supporting students everystep of the way. I would like to take thisopportunity to thank all of the staffmembers and instructors at Herzing.I feel that without their support andthe support of my friends I would havenever been able to accomplish this goal. Iappreciate everyone for their support andencouragement.”Juliana Nieves – Herzing University Onlinemark“Without the opportunity of attending a career collegelike NHITA, I don't believe my transition to massagetherapy would have been possible or successful. Sincegraduating in 2006, I've moved to Springfield, Mass.,where I knew no one; purchased a home; opened amassage business; and successfully grown the businessduring the worst recession since the Great Depression.Has it been easy? Absolutely not. But the skills Iobtained from NHITA, just like the skills obtainedfrom my B.S. when I was in technology, set me apart asa qualified, professional massage therapist able to thriveeven in the worst circumstances. These last four yearshave truly been magnificent! I'm doing what I love,and helping people in the process.” Will Llewellyn –New Hampshire Institute for Theraputic Arts"Earning my degree at Stevens-Henager College was convenient, rewarding,and the accelerated program allowed me to reach my goals much quicker thantraditional educational opportunities.
