Nighthawk Proud? Say It Nighthawk Loud!

You have heard time and again about the daunting obstacles that so many NOVA students face in their quest for the gold—that hard-earned degree that will open doors for them now and into the future. Some will transfer to a four-year college or university and go on to earn a bachelor’s, master’s or even a doctoral degree. Some will take their degree and enter the workforce, in a job they hardly dreamed of before.

When they petitioned for graduation from NOVA, each student completed a survey telling of their goals for the future and providing invaluable advice for those students coming behind them. Please enjoy this little round-up of from our graduating Nighthawks:

THAIS
I am an International Student bringing home a United States College Diploma! My family is so proud of me! And, of course, I want to enjoy my time off from college!!

NOVA has excellent professors! No regrets for choosing NOVA as my college from Brazil.

Just enjoy the moment! Don’t give up! Time flies!

I came far away from home to accomplish my goal. I made it!!!!

ADELINA
Adelina plans to transfer to Liberty University.

There are a lot of things I am proud of for accomplishing, making the dean’s list in my first year, becoming more involved with student life, joining Every Nation Campus Ministry (ENC) and growing with those whom I met through ENC.

Be yourself and get involved with student activities, you will meet some amazing people who will help you learn and grow.

He says his future goal is to “survive.” (We endorse that goal as a minimum benchmark).

Work in advance and force good studying habits
