With the COVID-19 pandemic ragging on, it seems like more people are applying to health care programs. In the practical nursing program, Salma Hussien is a student. She reflects back on this summer, working as a developmental service worker.
“I started my job right at the beginning of the pandemic, right when it hit. It was really was scary because it’s so new, right? No one’s ever been something like this, especially it was my first experience ever working something in my field,” Hussien said.
“At first I was enthusiastic to go to work, but I did hit a point in the summer where I was dreading to go to work.”

Pottery is one of the oldest art practices. The oldest pieces of pottery are believed to be found in China’s Hunan Provence and are about 15,400 years old. It’s safe to say it can last a lifetime.
Kristy Suckling is a nurse by trade, but a year and a half ago she took a leap of faith into the pottery world.
“I was finding that I didn’t have a lot to do to fulfill myself. And so, I was kind of getting bored. My kids are now growing, and you know, being single, I was looking for something to add to my life. So, I decided to go out and take a lesson at Pinecraft and Elmer from there, I really enjoyed it.”
