NCC Celebrates High School Equivalency Graduates
Nash Community College celebrated the accomplishment of 80 High School Equivalency graduates at a commencement ceremony held Thursday, May 16 in Brown Auditorium.
Ivana Stevens, Director of NCC College and Career Readiness, delivered the address. “Tonight I want to speak to you about reinvention,” she said. “Rarely is the path of life a straight one from start to finish. Rarely do things go entirely according to plan. We can wonder if we have made bad decisions, if we have done something wrong, or if who we are is not good enough. I am here tonight to tell you,” Stevens continued, “the you that you once were, or the you that you are now, does not have to be the you that you will be in the future. The power to reinvent ourselves is one of the greatest gifts humans have.”
NCC High School Equivalency graduate Adilene Muñoz addressed fellow graduates. “I wish I could say that I have all of the answers,” she said. “But unfortunately, life doesn’t usually come to us in a nice, neat package. What I do know, is that now is the time for me to be amazing! This is just the beginning of the next chapter in my story. My hope and dream is to pursue a college degree so that I can go into a field where I’m using my experience and gifts to help others. My journey has been a little bit bumpy so far, and I know that I can now use that to serve others.”
“To my fellow classmates, we have done it,” Muñoz said. “We have become graduates. Now is your time to shine. Each of you have a story to share with the world. So with your journey in your heart, and your diploma in your hand, go out into the world and be amazing.”
The High School Equivalency program is offered on campus and online at no charge. Students study Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies at their own pace and test every 60 hours to determine progress. Following successful completion, students earn a High School Equivalency credential.
