SUCCESS STORIES

PhuongMai Cao

I was recently hospitalized. While I was there, I heard my doctor and his assistant speak to each other in medical terms. Believe it or not, I understood everything thanks to what I learned from Dr. Amy (Medical Class Professor). It was such a wonderful feeling. I don't really know how to describe it, but I said to myself, "Hey, I am good. What have I been doing all those years? What a waste!" The medical field is for anybody. Medical care is everywhere. The medical field can be for family members, friends and for yourself. And even if the medical field is not your goal, dealing with this field and with medical terms is everywhere. It doesn't matter how slow my study may be -- I will study harder and harder because the medical field is one of my great interests. Thanks, Dr. Amy, for your time, knowledge and wisdom. Thanks, Mr. Huy Vu, for your short but informative course.

(excerpt from commencement speech on June 28, 2008)

On the first day of the Accounting course, most of us were very worried and wondered what we could learn in a short period of 6 months. However, within few days later, ours doubtful feelings were gone. Thanks to the great teaching method of Mr. Vu all of us started to study very hard until the end of the course. Mr. Vu has extensive knowledge and always brings the real-world experience into the classroom. The accounting assignments were fun and really beneficial to us. As a result, we have learned a lot from our teacher, not only about accounting, bookkeeping, but also the related subjects, such as, finance, saving, and investment. Furthermore, he also taught us how to write a resume and prepare for an interview. Now we are very confident and ready to apply for any jobs that are related to the subjects we have studied. I am immensely grateful to my teacher for your help. On behalf of all the accounting students from the Class of 2007-2008, I would like to thank Mr. Huy Vu for your dedications to the success of the students. I'd also like to thank other teachers, especially, Mr. Tan Duong, who also taught us how to use computer more effectively. I want to thank the administrative staff who helped us throughout the course.
