"I was so happy with the education I received at Rockford. I don’t necessarily want to work in the cannabis industry, but I do want to continue my career in healthcare. Once I am healed, I plan to enroll in Rockford’s Practical Nursing program so I can further my career. Enrolling in school was the best compliment to treatment I could have asked for."

"I never thought I would know what I wanted to do with my life. I left high school confused. I was greeted at RCC with so much respect! My favorite quote is, ‘Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.’ I love what I do!"
