 My name is Leanne Davoski. I'm a mother of three. I'm here at WCTC to get my medical application and welding degree. I've done a lot of different jobs. I always knew I'd like to do more hands-on physical labor rather than sitting behind a desk. I knew school was in my future but I just didn't know where to start. Usually the gloves that I used to get were about $7 but I would run through them almost every day because they were so thin and cheap. These ones are close to almost $20. I can honestly say you could tell it's quality-made. With this jacket it's all around leather so I could do multiple positions while being safe and this was actually close to 135 I believe and out of pocket like that you know it's a stretch. I'm just very grateful to be a part of a technical college system that cares about individual students enough. Yes we have this mandate to meet the needs of the large community but the way we do that is student by student and the fact that we can hone right in on a student need, meet that need and help them fly I love that. I actually really do strive to be stable in life because money has always been a problem and you know being a mother of three I would say I've always had a significant pay difference or just respect when I am in a work place and it's really shown so by having this degree and being able to say I did this and I'm going to go further than this is something that I feel that will give me respect and hopefully my children will feel that they have it in themselves to also to continue.
