The most important memory that I can share and do share with my students is that I was one of the first students on this campus in August 1995. I was working in a human service position that I could not promote further without a degree. I was encouraged by my colleagues to pursue my criminal justice degree, which I started at "Montgomery College". I was excited and scared to pursue this endeavor. I was told by my family growing up that poor people do not go to college. I believed it so I did not want to face the rejection if I tried to apply. I decided to take a leap of faith and go down to the college and talk to someone. I did not know what I was doing. I was approached by a wonderful man named Dr. Earl Kampa. He was kind and listened to my story. He was in financial aid and walked me through the whole process because he knew I was fearful of the next step. He will forever be in my heart for his kind spirit and how that changed the whole trajectory of my life and career. I am a first time and first-generation college student.

Next memories are the wonderful faculty that I met in my time here at this campus. Glen Killian, Steve Lewis and Kevin Sumrall all played a big part in my education here. I changed my program of study halfway through and ended with a Human Services degree, which ironically I now teach in side by side by my former Professor Glen Killian. LSC-Montgomery holds many memories for me as a student and now as a Professor.

I went to LSC-Montgomery in Spring of 1995 before the new campus opened. This was when it was located in a shopping center of Loop 336. I took one Spanish class from a wonderful professor. I was also attending classes at LSC-Tomball at the same time. I transferred to Sam Houston State University in the Fall but have fond memories of my semester at LSC-Montgomery. Flash forward thirty years, I am now an Adjunct Professor of History for LSC-Montgomery serving at the Conroe Center campus. I started in Summer II. Life has truly come full circle for me. I am so proud to have come home to LSC-Montgomery and to once again be a Maverick.
