Personal Statement about FCC Experience:

“After not choosing any of the many offers from other colleges, I decided to attend FCC. At FCC, I learned to work hard, stay positive, do my best, and expect good things to happen. While attending FCC, I met many nice individuals and created a lot of great memories. I would say FCC was an important stepping stone for both my athletic and work careers.”
