Before I started at Prospect College, I was stuck as a dispatcher at a towing company. I felt like giving up on life itself. I felt like I was failing in everything I did. That’s when a friend told me about Prospect College. At first I was skeptical because I was not interested in paying more money after failing my first attempt at technical school. But after learning more about resources Prospect College offers I decided to sign up.

Prospect College helped me earn my high school diploma while also completing the Medical Assistant Program. The teachers that I had were awesome. They were very serious about their teaching, and were always available to answer my questions. Before I knew it I had passed my certification exam and was hired at my externship site. Now I know I can accomplish everything I want, but without Prospect College I would not be where I am.

In 2017, I attended prospect college. I had no prior medical knowledge. In fact, I worked at a fast-food restaurant and I was a high school drop out. Prospect allowed me to earn my high school diploma for free! Thanks to this program, I went on to earn my degree, Bachelor’s of Science in Medical Administration! Oh, and I am not done yet! I already applied for the PA program!

Prospect College prepared me for my current job as a Medical Assistant. Teachers were always eager to answer questions and even offered study groups for those interested. At times, I wanted to give up because I feared drawing blood and giving injections, but the staff didn’t let me. They pushed me to accomplish things I never thought I could do. I was even hired at my externship site. Thank you Prospect!
