Airman pursues education
By NICKY LEE
Staff Writer
Adam Bennett, 23, is only
one of many college students
holding down a full-time job.
With the cost of living constantly
increasing, this lifestyle is
becoming more of a necessity.
Adam works at Seymour
Johnson Air Force Base. He
went into service in 2004 and
has traveled from Japan to
Texas. He was relocated here
in 2004 and now attends Wayne
Community College.
Bennett’s busy school
schedule consists of classes such'
as microbiology and technology
in society.
His on-campus school
schedule consists of going to
class from 10 a.m. until noon
and again from 2 p.m. until 5
p.m. He also takes three online
classes, coming to a total of
17 credit hours. He just got
accepted into WCC’s nursing
program and eventually wants
to transfer to East Carolina
University for a bachelor’s
degree.
“Since bachelor and master
programs are so competitive, I
study quite a bit to keep my GPA
high enough to stay on par with
my competition,” he said.
After a day filled with
homework and studying, he
goes into work on base at 11
p.m. He works all night until 7
a.m. and then has a short break
to take a nap.
“Balancing a full-time job,
being a full-time student, and
trying to have a social life
takes not only a lot of time, but
concentration and planning as
well,” Bennett said.
The Campus Voice remembers two
special people we lost too soon ...
