After being out of high school for 10+ years, Michael decided it was time for a change. Ready for new opportunities and a fresh start, he enrolled at Penn College. He graduated with his associate's degree in Radiography in August 2020 and is working to complete his bachelor's in Applied Health Studies. Michael looks forward to a bright future and the benefits his new career will award him and his family.
Applied Health Studies is now being offered as Healthcare Leadership & Administration.
I have always loved to ride motorcycles. While learning to do different tricks, I have broken a lot of bones. I would always have to get X-rays done and was fascinated by how the X-ray can see inside of my body.
I made this move for better job opportunities and to build a better life.
The clinical experience for me was the best. Being able to work with patients and also being able to put classroom teaching to practical use went hand in hand for me.
The comaraderie of my fellow classmates is amazing. Everyone has a positive attitude. It is a real positive atmosphere.
After graduation, I will pass my board exam to be a radiographer. Then I will get a job and study other imaging modalities such as CT and MRI.
"Penn College challenged me to grow by teaching me better time management and organizational skills and by pushing me to do better in every aspect of the program."
