"Hi,  welcome to my site!"

 

Jean Brockert MCC StudentJean Brockert

I wanted to express to as many people as possible how my decision to take some college courses changed my life. I was afraid and I had many questions when I decided to start my first course at Muscatine Community College.
 
I am 43 years old and I have worked full time at the same job for 21 years. I felt trapped in my job because I knew that if I wanted to work some place different, I would have to take a cut in pay or take some college courses. I still work full time, I have a family to care for, and I take a couple of courses each semester. Actually, I enjoy my job more now than I did before because I know that I am going to be able to have more job opportunities when I finish school.
 
When I signed up to take my first course, I didn't know how to type and I knew nothing about a computer. I had a computer at home for my children, but I was scared to do anything on it.

I have really learned a lot. I have been on the president's list and I'm an active member and officer of Phi Theta Kappa.
 
Since I have returned to school, my life has become more exciting and I am very proud of myself. I hope that you find as much satisfaction in taking some courses as I have. I hope the information in the following sections will answer some of your questions and make it easier for you to decide to take a course or two at MCC.

Martin Luther King's quote, "I have a dream," is a favorite of mine. I do have a dream, and I am so happy I had the courage to go back to school and pursue that dream. Do you have a dream?
