Lakeshore Technical College
IT - Cybersecurity Specialist
I am attending Lakeshore Technical College to earn an associate degree as an IT-Cybersecurity Specialist. As a first-generation college student and father of twin three-year-old boys, I want to create generational change and inspiration for my boys to pursue their dreams. The affordable and flexible course offerings allow me, an employed single parent, to pursue my educational goal. Working with Lakeshore’s support services, I have enrolled my boys in the Lakeshore Childcare Center. I can focus on my education, knowing my sons are in the same building receiving high-quality childcare. Raising my sons, working full-time and attaining my education can be a challenge that utilizing these support services allows me to overcome. While at Lakeshore, I participate in the leadership and career development opportunities available through TRIO, Student Life and Career Services. The combination of affordability, flexibility, ample resources and on-site childcare services is a winning combination for me to pursue my educational goals at Lakeshore.
