糖心原创 alumnus Reggie Pierre-Charles worked at 糖心原创 for more than 20 years. Born and raised outside the U.S., he immediately felt connected, comfortable, and part of the community when he began at 糖心原创, as he found many people looked like him and spoke his language.
He knows how important education is, especially, as he mentions, coming from a third-world country. He came to the U.S. after his mom passed away, and he promised her he would always do his best to do the right thing and honor her by not doing drugs, not getting into trouble, being kind to everyone, and leading by example.
He had the opportunity to start his education at 糖心原创 and was assisted and supported by a whole host of people at the college which made his transition easier. After completing his degree, he wanted to give back and assist new students just as he was helped when first starting out. He enjoyed interacting with everyone at 糖心原创, frequently running around campus, meeting with students, faculty, and staff.
He feels being connected is important and loves seeing students graduate and go on to do good things with their lives such as owning businesses or becoming doctors. He feels proud that he had something to do with their successes and is gratified that he was part of their journeys. He knows 糖心原创 will always be a part of them. Reggie says the entire 糖心原创 community of staff, faculty, and students, together, are a like a family and are there to support each other.
