Marion Ricco Ramsey
 

I am in my third semester at South Georgia College Entry Program. I am a pre-med major and plan to attend medical school to become an anesthesiologist.  I like to read and play multiple sports such as basketball and football. I also like going to school learning new things that could help me expand my everyday knowledge on different subjects.   

I am a dual student at SGC and Valdosta Technical College in which I'm majoring in Marketing.  I am the founder and president of the Student Advancement Organization at the SGC entry program, which is on its first year of being an active organization.  I am also a student mentor for the SGC Entry Program. 

Expected Graduation: Spring 2008 

Degree objectives: Pre-Medicine Degree 

Career highlights/awards:
Founder and President of the Student Advancement Organization at the South Georgia Entry Program in Valdosta, Ga. And a Community Outreach Award Winner; my professor Mrs. Crowe is a great community liaison that keeps us busy with different and exciting curriculums that helps the students get involved.  

High School: Valdosta High School and Chandler High School 

Hometown: Valdosta 

I chose to attend SGC because:
After being in the military, I needed the family-like environment and smaller classes to help grow and build my abilities as a college student, and I felt like it was the perfect type of environment that I wanted to be in.  Once talking to Dr. Hathaway, he explained all of the benefits that I could receive from being enrolled at South Georgia College. So, the next day I was registering for classes.  I met all of my instructors and received a warm welcome that I was very comfortable with; I knew this was the place for me. 

My Favorite things to do on campus are to:
Organize social events and act as a student leader for the South Georgia College Entry Program Student Body.  I also enjoy going to different drama plays and musicals which can teach me something about the times that they were wrote in.  Attending basketball, football, and volleyball games are also really great downtimes for me. 

When I have free time:
I like to lift weights, be involved with some type of community service, read and study. One of my favorite things to do in my free time is to eat! 

My favorite professor is: I enjoy all of my professors.  

If I could spend my afternoon with anyone:
it would be Jessica Johnson because she is a really energetic and funny person who always tries to have an optimistic view on everything that is around her. She is very sweet and always looking to get involved in a good conversation. Plus, she is the love of my life! 

If I knew I could not fail:
I would run for President of the United States, and implement all types of amendments to make sure that no one in the U.S. would ever have to go a night homeless, hungry, or without healthcare.  If I knew I could not fail; I would unify the world as we know it into a wonderful peace zone with our focus being on the betterment of mankind as a whole, rather than focusing on money, and materialism.    

After Graduation:
I would like to further my education by getting my Bachelors degree in pre-medicine, and attend medical school to become a doctor.  Begin trying to buy me a house or some type of real-estate, and continuing building up my construction company, along with living happily with my love. 

The one SGC experience I will always remember is:
The day I met Dr. Hathaway and he told me the story about him teaching in South Carolina, and the irony behind the story is one to remember for a life time or two.
