“It was here that I met Professor Dave Wilson, who has guided me along this incredible path,” Schoopachevich said. “He saw my dedication and strong work ethic and sent all the different job opportunities my way. It wasn't until the second or third job offer that I was able to get an actual interview, which happened to be an intern position at none other than Lockheed Martin! I had my interview, and it went wonderfully. I am proud to say on June 28, I started at Lockheed as an intern, and on September 7, I became a full-time engineering technician for the company. I always believe everything happens for a reason, and it is the people you meet in life that also create your destiny. I am forever grateful for Professor Wilson’s goodwill and selfless determination to help a student achieve his dreams of success.”

I am taking all online classes, but all of my professors are fantastic and have made learning a very enjoyable experience!”
“Being Hispanic makes you work harder. You need to prove to yourself and others that you are capable enough to do what they do. When I found out I got a scholarship to Rowan College at Burlington County, the first thing that crossed my mind was ‘Why me?’. And then I looked back and remembered all my struggles, from coming to a country and leaving my family behind (just me and my kids here), to learning the language and going back to school knowing just the basics in English."

I will be looking at organizing events and competitions in the culinary building in the near future. In addition, I have plans to bring in visiting chefs to present demonstrations for students.”
“I chose RCBC because it was the only school in my area that offered culinary and pastry classes at an affordable price,” Villarini, of Pennsauken, said. “I pay out of pocket, and it has been great to attend a community college that offers classes on what I love to do.”
