LMT letter to the editor speaks highly of Laredo Community College

Laredo Community College: serving Laredo since 1947

In Saturday's Laredo Morning Times, a very positive and refreshing letter to the editor praised LCC for doing their part in providing a excellent educational foundation for those aspiring to continue their collegiate studies. Ms. Elizabeth Rodriguez, who has subsequently graduate from the University of Texas with a degree in applied technology. She is currently working on her master's degree in educational technology. Congratulations to Ms. Rodriguez for her accomplishments and continued good luck. Here's an excerpt of her letter in which she speaks quite favorable of our community college.

I think it’s safe to say that I would not have made it this far had it not been for the initial educational foundation that I received at Laredo Community College.It’s very easy to sit around and blame others for our own failures.I think people need to take responsibility for their own actions.

Education is what we make of it, and not the other way around.I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I had some of the best instructors at LCC. They truly care about student success and are willing to go beyond the call of duty to ensure that. As a community, we should come together to support our local colleges and be a part of trying to help them succeed.

There are many students that cannot afford to travel out of town to get their education, and bashing our local community college is only going to deter people from getting any type of education. As a former student, I can safely say that Laredo Community College is a great educational institution, and I would recommend it highly.
