Young Memorial names top students

South Louisiana Community College’s WorkReady U Program at Young Memorial in Morgan City has named Orranda Guidry as our December Student of the Month.
The school describes Orranda is one of those quiet, hardworking and cooperative students who make teaching a dream job. He has earned the Student of the Month honor because of his focus and diligence; however, it has not been an easy road for him.
He persists in continuing his education and in achieving his goal of passing the HiSET even through difficult situations.
"We are amazed by his work ethic and determination," the school said. "Participating in class discussions and a willingness to accept instruction are just a few of the wonderful qualities that he possesses. He can always be counted on and attends classes faithfully. As a mature male figure, he is an asset to our program."
The English Language Acquisition December student of the month is Wendy Medina. She is described as an enthusiastic learner who arrives early for class each morning and is fully engaged in learning. She eagerly assists other students and is a joy to teach.
South Louisiana Community College’s WorkReady U Adult Education class in Franklin named Khadijah Butler as December student of the month.
Khadijah enrolled at the end of November and began class very quiet and unsure, the school said.
In only a month of learning, she has already come out of her shell.
She attends class every day and even stays late to take full advantage of asking questions and receiving one on one tutoring. She has made strong progess in improving her scores, and she plans to take the HiSET in January.
