KAYLA DOWNS
Region I
During spring of 2021, I graduated with four AA degrees and was on the Dean’s Honor Roll. I will be transferring to Chico State University in fall of 2021 to continue my education and pursue a career in nursing. Once I complete the BSN program, I plan to transfer to another university to complete an anesthesiologist program to become a nurse anesthetist. During my time at LCC, I have been blessed with free tuition and being apart of the EOPS program. As for my time at LCC, starting my spring term of 2020, my education was hindered by the Coronavirus 2019 Pandemic. Luckily, through the help of LCC and the EOPS program, I was able to maintain good grades and graduate accordingly, even during this difficult time. I am so thankful and indebted to Lassen College and the EOPS Program for getting me where I am today. By receiving this scholarship, I will be able to further my education as a nurse anesthetist and achieve my goal of helping others, just as they have done for me.
