implement a one to one laptop program
where all high school students will be
required to purchase a laptop. I will
become the laptop coordinator. Needless

and our school. Regent University
prepared me for this endeavor by
offering computer classes! Regent was
at the forefront in adopting new
technology which helped me further my

on my knowledge to future generations.
The Lord has blessed me tremendously. I
love my job! I could not have
envisioned a nicer place to work than
here.
