St Johns River Community College

A few years ago (yes, we’ll go with that) I received an A.S. Degree from a Community College in Mississippi. Boredom struck me in 2006 and I decided to go another two years and pick up an A.A. Degree (what the heck, right?).
This is THE best Community College! All of the Professors here actually care about each and every individual student and go above and beyond do to all they can! Not only the Professors, but the office staff and the Dean also!
Best Math Professor in the world goes to: Mark Wilson
I don’t care how much you hate math or how many times you say you’ll never be able to learn math. Trust me, you WILL learn from this amazing Professor! He will not only teach you math, he will have you absolutely loving math. Never in my life have I seen a math instructor who can make it fun and get everyone to understand the material. Mr. Wilson, I stand and applaud you!!! After graduating in the Spring of 2008, I still to this day call up Mr. Wilson and have a chat every month or so. He’s so good he actually had me wanting to switch my major to math. No kidding. That’s a pretty big deal considering English and writing have been my entire life!
Best English Professor in the world goes to: Roger Vacarro
Totally down to Earth and an amazingly cool man! Since 9^th grade in High School, I have had Honors English. Not one instructor ever pointed out to me the number of times I used the word «that» when writing. The majority of the time, you can just remove the word «that» and the sentence continues to make sense; it’s generally an unnecessary word. Tons of writing in his class; however, tons of fun! If you get the chance, I highly recommend you take his film class, even if you don’t need the class. Another Professor I still call and we have chats.
Best History Professor in the world goes to: Mark Little
I have always hated history. HATE HATE HATE!!! Mr. Little wastes no time and goes right into lecture on the first day and I fell in love with history on the very first day. Now I’m in love with the past. I am constantly googling things from history and when I find a particular subject which really fascinates me, I call up Mr. Little and we have a discussion. He fills me in on all the details I can’t ever quite seem to find online. I honestly think there is nothing in history this man does not know.
I can go on and on about other wonderful Professors all day, but I will surely run out of characters. If you want to go to college and walk away with a solid education, this is the place for you! However, keep in mind, nothing will be handed to you on a silver platter, you still have to actually attend class and do that other thing… what’s it called? Oh yes… studying!
A HUGE thank you to everyone at St. John’s River Community College who made a difference in my life. You may not be mentioned here by name, but you know who you are and know you will always have a place in my heart!
