Lucille Pringle
RETS Technical Center
RETS TECHNICAL CENTER is
pleased to nominate LUCILLE PRINGLE, who resides in Dorchester,
for an Outstanding Achievement Award. Like many others, Lucille
lost her job after 9/11. She saw this as an opportunity to
pursue her dream of being a Medical Assistant. Lucille was
accepted in the Medical Assisting Program at RETS and started
in October 2003. At first, she struggled with her studies.
After all, she hadnt been to school for over thirty
years. Lucille said, The other students were so much
younger and I wasnt sure if I could keep up." Then,
while on Christmas break, Lucille underwent two major surgeries.
She began to worry about completing the course. She went to
the school to drop out and ran into her instructor, Ms. Olivar,
who explained the Medical program was undergoing some exciting
changes and encouraged Lucille to continue. So Lucille decided
to give it a try. Her grades improved and her fellow students
elected her Lab Safety Officer. She loved the position as
it helped her learn more about the lab and help other students,
too. Lucille says, I want to thank Ms. Olivar and the
other staff members for their love and support. I know I am
setting an example for my children and grandchildren. Hard
work will pay off one day, and a better life is in our future.
I hope my receiving his award will inspire others, young and
old, not to give up on their dreams, they are truly within
your reach." Lucille has certainly demonstrated the tenacity
and ambition to overcome hardships and turn adversity into
opportunity.
