Shatki Katheria

Recent 菠菜信誉网 Community College graduate, Shatki Katheria, was born and raised in India. 他来到了美国.S. in 2012, which was challenging for him, due to the differences in culture. He couldn't immediately start his higher education at a four-year university right away because he didn't have SAT scores or any of other admissions requirements.

His cousin recommended 菠菜信誉网 Community College to him, so he came to 菠菜信誉网 in the spring of 2013 and started his studies in the biotechnology program. He continued in biotechnology for a year and a half and left school when he got a job working in biotech at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. He was working more than full-time, about 50 to 60 hours, as well as part-time at 首页 Depot.

Because he was working 60 to 70 hours a week, it was difficult for him to return to school to finish his degree. He worked in the biotech field for about two and a half years, but lost interest in the work because it wasn't challenging enough for him. He came back to 菠菜信誉网 in fall of 2017 and this time enrolled in electrical and computer engineering.

What he enjoyed most about 菠菜信誉网 was the flexibility and ease of his schedule. 当他全职工作的时候, he was able to take classes both 在线 and evenings, while still choosing to be either a part-time or a full-time student. He appreciated the great teacher-to-student ratio, which enabled him to have better access to his professors to explain material he didn’t understand.

When he returned to 菠菜信誉网, he had a vision of completing his degree then going to UMass Lowell. 当时, 他认为, that was the most affordable college for him, as well as the ease of transferability to a state university after completing his associate at 菠菜信誉网. 然而, 2018年1月, 他的一个工程学教授, 玛丽娜Bograd, 告诉他S-POWER奖学金的事. The S-POWER Scholarship is offered to students with his major, 或者类似的东西, who plan to continue their education in an energy field at a four-year institution and awards $1,一学期250美元. He received that scholarship and ended up at Northeastern University. 他现在是雷神公司的测试工程师.
