Perhaps, I may be just that lucky because each instructor I have met here just so happen to have the same kind of passion and commitment to help their students succeed.<br /><br />At times, I wondered how many people I knew would skip lunch, come into work on days off, take time to gather resources for customers at their jobs, while genuinely enjoyed doing it. There aren’t too many.<br /><br />Companies invest big dollars in scouting talent. SCC has them already. It's unfortunate that during these hard times, the school would be forced to let go of its most valuable assets. But there are choices that need to be made: the majority decided that affordable candies and sodas were more important than educating women and men to better serve our communities and the country in the future. It is very unfortunate, indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-89468762680129707332010-12-01T11:05:36.338-08:002010-12-01T11:05:36.338-08:00I went back to work as a result of attending worke...I went back to work as a result of attending worker retraining at Shoreline. Cutting back on education is short sighted. I understand the choices our government has to make but I'd rather see us make cuts in other areas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-44483785014633543632010-12-01T06:46:22.081-08:002010-12-01T06:46:22.081-08:00I work at Shoreline and it is a great college to w...I work at Shoreline and it is a great college to work at and for students to attend. I'm glad that the times printed this short essay because it's important for the public to understand what is happening to their state-funded resources. We are going to have to get solutions people. It's not OK to cut back on healthcare for the poor, unemployment benefits, police and schools. There must be a better way.Elizabeth Hansonnoreply@blogger.com
