Making Introductions

Hey everyone! My name is Sandy Yang and I’m currently in the Administrative Professional program at Lakeshore Technical College. I graduated in December of 2010 in the Health Unit Coordinator program and came back to further my education in the administrative field.

I first started out with college in 2008 with a one-year stint at UW-Manitowoc taking general education courses. You can say I had a sense of nervousness my first semester of college. Questions filled my mind with anticipation wondering: How can I adjust to college life? Am I going to do well academically? Will I be able to balance work, school, and family? Will I connect with students and instructors? If you‘re feeling a little anxious about starting college, take a deep breath and exhale! I came to realize very quickly that the new atmosphere wasn’t as bad as I had thought.

Because I had already had previous college experience, attending LTC the following year wasn’t too much of a worry for me. Why did I choose LTC? I appreciate what the college does for the community, I admire how the campus promotes diversity, and faculty and staff members are very friendly and helpful. Although it was another fresh start to have new classes, new instructors, and new students, I was able to reflect on the strategies I used before to help me get through. I continued to stay focused on my top priorities and reached out to others when I needed to.

My goals for spring semester are to pass all my courses and to gain additional knowledge and skills to apply it in the real world. And, of course, last but not least, I plan to help guide you with useful information through my blogs and to keep you all updated on student life here at LTC.

Talk to you soon.
