My father inspired me to be in the career field. I have grown up around him all my life and watched him work everyday. He have been employed with the shipyard for over 20 years. He went to work right after high school and he have been there ever since. I always wanted to become a welder and work at the shipyard. I hope to be enrolled in the apprenticeship program after finishing school. I look forward to making my father proud of my accomplishments and following along in his footsteps.

Hi Derek, it's nice that you want to follow in your dads' footsteps. My dad used to work at the Shipyard too, and I always wanted to work there too, so as time passed, I got hired at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. I worked there for about a year, and I really liked it but, it just didn't fulfil my heart's desire because I wanted to be a Nurse, so I went to RCCC and got a Certified Nursing Assistant certificate and started working as an CNA1. I have been working in this field for almost 35 years. I decided now that all of my children are grown, and they tell me that I should go for be a Nurse because I love helping people, so now I have come back to RCCC to further my education in the Health Care Field. I wish you the very best in your field.
