At the end of this upcoming school year, I will be graduating from Millikin University with my bachelors inÌýelementary education, but all of this wouldn't be possible without the guidance and support of my amazing advisor, Mr. Tony Hooker.Ìý Back in 2017, I knew I wanted to go back to school and finish my associate degree, but I knew it would be difficult being a working, single mother of two.Ìý It had been a few years since I was in college, but after sitting with Mr. Hooker and going over my plan of study, he made reaching my goal attainable.Ìý

Not only didÌýMr. Hooker help me with my course of studies, he was there every step of the way, whether it was checking on course descriptions, class schedules, checking on me and my daughters, and making sure my time at СÖíÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍøwas going well.Ìý Thanks to his guidance I was able to graduate from СÖíÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍøCollege with my associate's degree within a year from the date I started.

Fast forward two years, I am now a senior at Millikin and still taking courses at СÖíÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍøto help me graduate faster.Ìý Tony has been an amazing resource and supporter from Day 1. If you ever second guess yourself to start your journey at СÖíÊÓÆµ¹ÙÍøCollege, you will not regret contacting Tony.Ìý Your life will change for the better and he will help you through your educational journey.
