“Being an adult student has its challenges. For me, a big one was just the anxiety of being so much older than my peers,” states Jeremy Mathis, age 32. “However, after one semester, that feeling was gone, and I was happy to be back in an academic environment challenging myself. My previous college efforts were unfocused and half-hearted. As an adult student I have engaged more fully in my schoolwork and have set clear, attainable goals that keep me inspired.” Jeremy calls the Reconnect program “incredibly user-friendly,” and is grateful for the support and communication provided by the Adult Services staff. “I would encourage any adult student who is on the fence to take advantage of all the resources available, especially this one!”
