“I have made many careless decisions in my life; however, choosing Nash wasn’t one of them. After graduating high school, I decided to complete my first two years at Nash as a College Transfer student. This decision provided the foundation for a great future. For me, I chose Nash because of the minimal cost and the small class size.

Nash Community College students are provided with instruction which promotes success in the classroom. When I talked to friends who went to other schools about how things were going and what classes they were taking, they all seemed to have the same response – they felt lost. This is a problem I never endured at Nash Community College. One of the hardest classes I took was college level general chemistry; however, with assistance from my instructor I found success.

My instructors were willing to provide assistance when it was needed. Of all the instructors at Nash, no one comes close to my math instructor Mrs. Dina Pitt. She is an extraordinary person who cares about every one of her students and their future. Mrs. Pitt was in tune to her students and ready to assist with any issues that were hindering success. She always had that saying, “We Appreciate You at Nash Community College. I genuinely felt appreciated.

After completing my AA degree this summer, I can finally say that in the fall of this year I will be attending East Carolina University. My goal is to complete two degrees; B.A. in Accounting and B.S. in Economics. Eventually I would like to attend graduate school. Looking back I am thankful for the decision to attend Nash Community College my first two years. Through my experience Nash provided the opportunity to learn, meet new people, and find out lessons to enable me to be successful. My name is Grant Sherrod and I’m proud to say, I Chose Nash!!”
