Fall Time!

Well everyone, we are halfway through our fall semester at ACC and I am happy to say that I'm enjoying it! This is my first semester and I'm also fresh out of high school, but that did not stop me from being involved in the campus! Being a student ambassador introduced me to a new set of people that I would have never met just walking through the hallways. Ive already learned so much just from being apart of this organization!

The professors are very helpful and have no problem staying after class to work with you individually. Our campus also offers free tutoring in the learning lab Monday-Thursday 8am-9pm and Friday 8am- 4pm. A full list of dates and time are on the ACC website under learning lab. I have actually used it twice now and the teachers in there are very understandable. I took my last English essay over there to get revised and ended up getting a whole new perspective on how my essay should look! Also the math teachers over there can really help you with breaking down problems section by section to make it easy to learn!

Don't forget our November fest is coming up and we're planning to have a lot of fun things to do! Bring your family and friends to ACC!

Hope to see you there,

Fall Semester

Well we are well into the Fall semester, how is it going for all of you? I am in the Nursing Program and we are just starting our clinicals on this Thursday. I am excited and scared at the same time but can't wait for it to start! Finals will be here before we know it. It all seems to go by more quickly than it used to.

Can you believe that the holidays are coming so quickly? Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all one month after the other! Hobby Lobby already has their Christmas decorations out. It will be here before you know it. YIKES!!

ACC will be hosting a Fall Festival on October 29, 2011 in the courtyard. It will be lots of fun for kids and adults to dress up and play games and see Blue our mascot. Please tell everyone you know and bring your friends.

Well gotta go study! Happy Holidays! Stay Safe

Graduation Is Next Month

I hope everyone is having a great semester. This semester has just flown by and graduation is coming up on May 10, 2011. Remember starting tomorrow you can pick up your graduation tickets. Due to the lack of space in the gym, ACC will have the lunch room open and the ceremony will be shown on the "BlueTube". This year ACC has a second option that is pretty cool, they have opened the ACC Theatre for seating and will show the entire ceremony on a big screen. I know I am excited, because I am one of the graduates crossing the stage! I have also had the honor of being President of Phi Theta Kappa, which is the Honor Society for two year colleges. If you are a member of Phi Theta Kappa, make sure you stop by the ACC bookstore and purchase your PTK stole and tassle, to be worn during the graduation ceremony.

Several of our ambassadors are graduating, which means Cammy and Liz will be needing to replace them. There will be an "Ambassador Session" on April 21, from 12:00 until 2:00 in the Texas Room. Kristy and myself will be there to conduct the session and answer any questions you might have about the Ambassador Program. You will be able to fill out an application, as well as have your initial interview on the spot. Being an Ambassador is a great honor, since you are the "Face of ACC", and don't forget about the $500 scholarship that goes along with that.


I have enjoyed being an ambassador for the last two semesters, and if it weren't for me graduating, I would do it again next semester. I have enjoyed every minute of my two years here at ACC and I will continue to take some courses that will enhance my degree. Enjoy this beautiful weather, and I look forward to seeing you around campus.

ANOTHER ARTIC BLAST!!

Are yall ready for more cold weather? Well get ready it is here and getting colder by the hour!

I hope everyone is liking their classes and doing well in them. I have clinicals on the L&D floor of the hospital for LVN nursing and I love it. I love holding those little babies and I swear my kids were half grown when I had them! It is hard to believe that my kids used to be "around that size."

If anyone ever gets a chance to attend the Back to School Blitz I really encourage it. It is very rewarding going our into the community and talking to teenagers and encouraging them to return to school to graduate. You are able to give them information that they didn't know exsisted. Very rewarding!

Our open house is coming up March 10, 2011 if you are able to attend I encourage you to do so. There are a lot of opportunities to find out what programs are offered here at ACC and also win some great door prizes while you are there. Grab your cowboy hats and boots and come and join us for a lot of fun.

Keep warm and be safe!

Superbowl Sunday

At last, all of the blustery days are behind us and beautiful weather is coming. I hope everyone is as excited about Superbowl Sunday as I am. Well, the teams that are playing, are not exactly my picks for the top two contenders, but I love watching the Superbowl every year. The commercials alone, are a good reason to tune in.

May 10, will be here before you know it, and we will have another great group of graduates crossing the stage. I am so excited, because I am one of them! My time here at ACC has just flown by, and I am kind of sad to see it end. I have been thinking of taking a couple of courses next semester, since there are some classes that would enhance my degree. Now I need to decide what my next adventure will be.

My best advice to all of the students is to get involved. Whatever you are interested in, there is an organization for you. I have been a student ambassador for two semesters now and I am currently President of Phi Theta Kappa; because of my willingness to get involved, I have made so many wonderful friends and had the chance to get acquainted with some of the faculty here. It is a proven fact, that the more involvement a student has with their college, the better their grades are. I know that my grades are definitely a reflection of my involvement and dedication to ACC. I have even had the opportunity to wear the "Blue" mascot suit. Get out and support our athletes. I know I am looking forward to watching some baseball and softball games. Go Dolphins!

I look forward to seeing everyone around campus, and remember if you ever need assistance with anything, there are nine ambassadors who are ready and willing to help.
