“Like many Hodges students, I started my higher educational pursuits later in life and had to balance a full-time job, family, and college.”
“I love Professor [Andrea] Fortin, and I am honored she nominated me for Student of the Month. She is always ready to help, her door is always open to her students, and she is very flexible and creative when it comes to working with adult learners such as myself. I really appreciate that, and I can honestly say that connection has helped me achieve this dream of graduating in the U.S., and now, working towards my master’s degree.”
“You feel inspired and motivated to expand your personal abilities and be creative, to be your own boss, and to make the change you want to see happening in the world. Getting a degree is not about the title. It is about the knowledge that transforms you so you can become a better person”
“I had to invest in myself. I felt it [returning to school] would provide better opportunities by creating a new future, and I could become a successful example for my children,” she said. “I wanted to gain more knowledge and skills that I could later integrate into the business or future endeavors.”
Earning two degrees in four years Amelia committed to devoting proper time with her children, completing her homework for school and providing the best version of herself while at work, Vasquez made it work and completed her MBA in 2002.
“I credit my success to all the passionate and committed professors at Hodges…“you can do this,” “follow your dreams.” I was armed with the confidence that then propelled me to excel,” she explained. “I am confident, driven and passionate, and I encourage anyone contemplating going back to school to look into Hodges.”
