Does Madison College have the resources I need, as a single mother
with special needs, to be a successful graduate in the Phlebotomy program?
Unit 3: Analyzing What Others Have to SayAfter review of the survey results, I made the following comment:
“I liked getting positive feedback. It
made me feel good.”
Unit 4: Preparing a Research Proposal…I am researching options for post-secondary schools because I am a single mother trying to support my child. I am currently a high school senior with an identified disability. I think that by going to college to get a degree as a phlebotomist I will have more opportunities and accomplishments in my life. I will be able to get a job that pays well, do something I enjoy and be able to support my child.
