2019 Student success stories

Gloria Alfred | Fortis College

8/8/2019

 
Picture
​My name is Gloria. I am a veteran who served my country in the United States Army for 8 years. I am currently enrolled in the Surgical Technologist Program here at Fortis College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Furthering my education is important to me. I feel that I have a lot of drive left in me and I want to use it to help save lives. 

On top of being a veteran, I am a mother of four beautiful little girls that look up to me. I want my daughters to see how hard their mom worked to get to where she is. ​
I know that if my daughters watch me reach the goals I have set for myself, that they will attempt to reach their goals also. So far this career change has been smooth. My instructors here at Fortis College put their every effort in training us for success. As far as classmates, we have formed our own little family and appreciate the different types of backgrounds in which we all come from. I have entrusted Fortis College to be a part of my transitioning process and so far I am satisfied.
