Haylei and Hannah Conte are recent high school graduates who are enrolled in STI’s Medical Assisting Program.Hannah wasn’t exactly sure what she wanted to do after high school but was thinking about the medical field. Once she learned about Southeastern Technical Institute,and decided to attend, she knew she made the right choice. “STI requires a lot of studying but the hands on procedures are perfect for someone like me.” Her sister Haylei was planning to go on to an expensive school after high school “but I realized I wasn’t sure of what I even wanted to do for so much money. When I heard about STI it sounded like the perfect place for me.” She liked that it was fast paced and that she would begin a career after graduation in June. They both chose STI for its affordability and supportive environment. Hannah’s biggest motivator is “knowing that by the end of the academic year I will be doing something that I love.” Mrs. Beer has been Haylei’s motivation as she “has definitely pushed me to be the best student I can be. When I was struggling in class she did all she could to help me improve. I also like how small the class size is because it’s more personal.” Both Hannah and Haylei see themselves working in the Medical Assisting field long term. Their advice to students who are considering STI would be to study! “It’s not always easy and it takes a lot of effort but it will pay off in the end.”
