Making Transitions

A couple of months ago I read a book entitled "The Dream Giver," by Bruce Wilkinson. In the book we meet a character by the name of Ordinary who lives in the land of familiar with a bunch of nobodies. When Ordinary finds himself feeling uncomfortable in the land of familiar, he realizes that he must face the wall of fear in order to find his purpose in life, which is given to him by the Dream Giver. While Ordinary has to make many transitions in his life, he eventually ends up exactly where he is supposed to be.

Just like Ordinary, you too are treading new teritory and making many transitions in different areas of your life. It is not easy, but you made one the first steps on your journey by enrolling in the Pathway to Employment Program. It is our goal here at CPCC to do whatever we can to help make your transition to this new environment as smooth as possible and to ensure that you become a Master Student! It is our hope that by becomming a Master Student, you too will end up exactly where you are supposed to be!
