Macomb Community College
Even though Teri could only talk to us virtually, I feel like it was still very helpful and I learned a lot about community colleges. Everyone always talks down on community colleges, but she gave us many positives to going to Macomb for a year or a summer to help earn credits.
During her slideshow, I mainly remember her telling us what a huge money difference it is between community colleges and universities. By the end of your four years, you need a certain amount of credits, and taking a few courses through Macomb would help so you don't have to be taking so many classes at the same time.
She also didn't just give us information about Macomb. she also gave us lots of useful information about college in general and how to help pay, things like FAFSA and applying for scholarships and how to do so.
Another thing Dryden is familiar with is dual enrollment, which a lot of us are taking right now. She went into a deeper conversation about it and what it means to be taking classes like that.
Teri also showed us a slideshow as she talked with fun pictures about everything she was talking about and one slide had all of the admission officers on it, which gets us more familiar with the people we are sending our applications to. Teri is our main one at Dryden and she's been doing it for a long time now, so she knows what she's talking about I learned a lot about Macomb and online classes. Even though it was virtual, I still found it very interesting and informative to all my questions about college.

Her favorite thing about Dryden is the teachers are somewhat nice, she has a good amount of friends here, and they want to understand the material being covered. Raghan likes to fish, play volleyball, hang out with friends and family, and just be outside in general. When Raghan gets older, her dream is to be a firefighter. When she gets into high school, Raghan is looking forward to doing more intense volleyball and most of the events. Some other things she likes to do are go on walks, play with her dogs, show cows, play with her pigs and take them for walks, have bonfires, and explore nature. Good luck, Raghan!
