BROOKLYN, NEW YORK
ANTICIPATION
By Sharon Korsberg
I sit behind these walls
Awaiting my future.
Pen in hand,
I sit waiting for the words to come,
Hoping I can keep up
With his fortitude of knowledge.
I look around
To see the empty spaces,
Wondering who shall fill them.
Anxiously looking
For the hands of time to move on.
I sit here writing,
Wondering what will be.
This is my future.
This is my goal.
This is my education and I will never let it go.
Every Beginning Has An End
College life is a mixture of sunshine and rain
Laughter and pleasure tear drops and pain
All days can't be bright, but it is certainly tone
There is never a cloud the sun does not shine through
So just keep on smiling, whatever happens to you
You will find that when you smile your day will be brighter
All your burdens will seem so much lighter
Each time you smile you will find it is true
Somebody, somewhere will smile back at you
Nothing on Earth can make life more worthwhile
Than the sunshine and the warmth of a beautiful smile
I thank God for the opportunity given to me to complete college.
Cynthia Spadaro - my counselor, who counseled me with her life experience. I thank you
very much. You will never be forgotten in my life, because you have always been there to
give me good advice. Mr. Abu Baker Mohamed - who handles statistics like child's play and a piece of cake.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Tope - thanks for our sleepless nights typing together. Yusuf - 1 thank you for reading to me when I am tired. Ibrahim - thanks for all the care. Kabir - 1 am grateful for your words of encouragement.
Debo - what can I do without you and God. Thanks for your support day and night. Ayo&Yinka - 1 am grateful to you and glad we all see the end of our fears, anxiety, and
sleepless night. Remi & Davis - to God be the glory. Thanks from the beginning to the end.

THE PLEASURE WAS ALL MINE
By Gregory Green The Class of 2001
Starting with my initial phone call to Professor Angela Diaz, and hearing her friendly voice, (as if she was excited for me to return to school for completion of my degree), the pleasure was all mine.
Professor Diaz then scheduled me for an appointment the next day. From the reception- ists' area with Ms. Sadie McMillian to Professor Diaz's office the atmosphere was warm and personable. I felt it was "all about me". While sitting in front of her she was all smiles and business. She wasted no time explaining to me that working full time and attending school full time would be a difficult task. However, if I stayed focused, it wouldn't be a problem.
For the first semester she schedule me for three classes. The classes were, Process of Management with Professor Rupert Campbell; Critical Thinking with Professor Daniel Beni; and Computer Programming with Professor Alan Ramlal.
I knew from past experiences that the first few classes a student takes in college decides whether or not he or she will remain for another semester. Needless to say, I was very impressed; each professor had a distinct way of encouraging me to stay in school.
From the first day, Professor Campbell, (an African-American male with a bald-head and mustache, similar to my description), who stood in front of the classroom discussing busi- ness visually inspired me. I thought to myself, that could well be me someday. A man with high intellect and a commanding presence, verbally interacting with him on a daily basis solidified my decision.
As for Professor Beni, there are many things that I could say. His Critical Thinking class literally changed my life. Analyzing and reasoning is now my way of life. As a Police Sergeant, I am capable of making accurate and adequate decisions in a timely fashion. As a husband and father of four, I am now more understanding of family values and patient in times of distress. As you can see, he has been a considerable factor in my adult stage of development.
With regard to Professor Ramlal, the decision to continue my studies, reflect upon him, as well. To say the least, before this class, computers were not my forte. Thanks to his direc- tion, I am now an avid Internet surfer, PC owner, user, and instructor to my children.
In conclusion, I value the fact that my education was entrusted to the qualified staff here at St. Joseph's College. Once again, the pleasure was truly all mine.
I WANDERED LONELY AS A CLOUD
by William Wordsworth
Submitted by Karen Burnham
The Class of 2001
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high O'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils, Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
The waves beside them danced; but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee; A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company; I gazed - and gazed- but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought:
Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; and then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils.
TRIBUTE TO SAINT JOSEPH'S COLLEGE
Laura Garris The Class of 2001
In the fall of 1999 I became a student at St. Joseph's College. I transferred from a very crowded, impersonal large college. I was immediately embraced by the warmness that exists within this place of higher learning. What a relief it is to have an instructor listen to and answer your questions while class is in session, something that is very unlikely in the larg- er public colleges and universities. Being able to have class discussions in class is also something I have come to cherish while at St. Joseph's.
If you ask anyone of the students at St. Joseph's what makes it stand out from other schools, you're likely to get several answers. Some might tell you it is the personal atten- tion you get from the staff here. The instructors remember your name. The friendly reminders you get from your financial advisor. The counselors keep you on track ensuring your timely graduation. More importantly, your fellow students are not just people you sit in class with a few hours a week. They become friends, mentors, tutors, study partners, and even your hangout buddies.
Here at St. Joseph's you are likely to forge friendships that last a lifetime. Often students who have graduated come back to participate in the school's many professional associa- tions, to help out in its many philanthropic activities, or to just see what's going on.
This year, I became a member of two important campus organizations, the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), and the Aesthetics Activities (Arts) Club, which was the creation of Professor Daniel Beni and students enrolled in one of his critical think- ing classes who relish the arts.
Although I am looking forward to graduating this semester, I am going to miss the friends made, lessons learned, and laughs shared at St. Joseph's.
Being a student at St. Joseph's College, School of Adult and Professional Edu- cation, has been an experience that has given me a multifaceted view and under- standing of the world in which I live. I majored in Health Administration with a minor in Computer Information Systems, but my education here has exposed me, to many other disciplines, theories, and philosophies.
My decision to return to school was motivated by personal and professional goals, as I'm sure is the case with almost all of the graduating students of 2001 . I wanted to broaden my perspective, develop my managerial skills, and gain valu- able knowledge. I felt that this program's course of study, which allowed me to con- tinue working and earn my degree, was new .challenging and the perfect solution.
I had somewhat of an idea of what I was setting myself up for when I entered this program that requires squeezing a hectic work schedule with classes meeting on weekends and sometimes after work hours during the week. These circumstances forced me to acquire superior time management skills, self-discipline, and perse- verance.
Little did I realize that in the end, I would have gained such a new appreciation for myself and what I can do when presented with a challenge, but also how impor- tant my professors and classmates were in my success. During that first weekend of each six week class, or on that first weekend of that twelve week class, we stu- dents made an unspoken bargain with one another, a mutual agreement that we would see this through as a team. We came together as a group of individuals who possessed a wealth of experience and who understood one another's strengths and weaknesses. We helped one another, utilized each others talents, laughed, pushed one another, we emailed, we conference called, we faxed, and in the end we did it and excelled at it. I have made lasting and valuable friends in most of my classmates.
Students at SJC's School of Adult and Professional Education have a great opportunity to develop and enhance their education and skills through the exper- tise of devoted faculty members. In particular, I must cite:
^ r
• The Ingenious and Cultured Professor Anthony Summers
• The Brilliant and Sensible Dr. Lauren Pete
• The Knowledgeable and Astute Professor Thomas Napolitano and Professor Gregory Calliste
• The Brainy and Bright Dr. Maude Robinson and Dr. Millicent Budhai- Robinson
• The Philosophical and Perceptive Professor Thomas Bove
• The Luminous and Apt Linda Fonte
• The Incisive and Keen-Minded Professor Gloria White-Harris and Professor Jean Black
• The Intellectual and Unrelenting Professor Daniel Beni
• The Smart and Rational Professor Annika Gram and Professor Carol McDermott
Besides learning a lot about new and emerging areas in the health care field, I also learned the value of working within groups. Gaining insights from classmates and professors was one of the highlights of my years at SJC. I have realized that real world problems require cooperation and respect. Both of these qualities are required for successful projects and work.
A final highlight of my last semesters at SJC was being a member and the Secre- tary of the Aesthetics Activities (Arts) Club which is a huge success. This Club has given other students and myself the opportunity of acquiring an abundance of knowledge about the arts through attendance at plays, etc. In addition, the Club has provided a medium for the students of the School of Adult and Professional Educa- tion to learn about each other and our various cultures. Professor Beni, our mentor and motivator, should be commended for assisting the members of the Club in achieving our goals.

/ WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE
A Short Story By Ann Alexis
The story is about a little girl named Patricia who lived with her parents and her broth- er and sisters. Their mother was a devout Christian woman who believed in the seventh Day Adventist- doctrine. Their father was not of the same Christian faith. Their mother always prayed with them and read them stories from the Bible. She also taught them Bible verses to be committed to memory. Patricia and her siblings worshiped alone on Sundays as their father forbade them to attend church services with their mother. One bright Sunday afternoon, Patricia along with her brother and sisters, were on their way to Sunday school when they were offered a ride from an oldercousin: They gladly accept- ed the ride and entered the car. Little did they know that tragedy was about to strike. Approximately ten minutes after the kids entered the car an accident occurred in which the car they were in was involved.
Patricia who was seated in the middle was thrown forward, as no seat-belt was present, causing her to impact with the gear stick then continued on to the dash board which stopped her, causing severe cuts and bruises to her face. The impact of her eye on the gear-stick brought immediate swelling and closure to her eye. Patricia was taken home to her mother who was in state of shock at the sight of her daughter. This time Patricia was in a state of panic screaming "I CAN'T SEE, I CAN'T SEE. " The Eyedoctor was called. On
his arrival, he looked at Patricia and said "WOW"!! which brought a chill to her. After the examination, he told her parents there was no vision in her left eye and could not say when it would return, or if at all; poor Patricia's hopes were shattered. The weeks dragged on at which time Patricia also lost vision to her other eye, leaving her in com- plete darkness physically. Patricia lay on her bed in darkness day after day and prayed to God to help her to see. She remembered the Bible verse that said if you asked anything in my name it shall be given. Patricia felt a closeness with God she had never felt before; she asked God into her heart and she will serve Him if He gave her back her sight. That was her daily prayer. One month went by then another, then another, when it happened. One morning Patricia screamed for her mother, who rushed to inquire what was wrong, when Patricia announced nothing was wrong. Eveiything is going to be fine "I can see". But what Patricia saw was light and shadows and she knew that her prayers were being answered. Her mother called for the doctor; after performing his examination he stated "it won 't be long before she regains her sight. That 's a miracle. "
Patricia lay on her bed and thanked God for hearing and answering the prayer of a frightened blind girl. Patricia is now grown and is still serving God. Although she has faced many challenges and storms, she has never forgot the promise she made to GOD which is to ser\re Him if she got her sight back. God has kept His promise to her and she is trying her best to serve Him today. Patricia believes as the Bible says, "Now we see through a glass dimly, but then face to face".

Dear Graduates:
Graduation day for the School of Adult and Professional Education is a highlight of the year at St. Joseph's College. The Ceremony itself is, of course, always impressive. It is a tradition-laden occasion, held outdoors on the College Mall in late spring, with facul- ty and students draped in attire that dates back to the Middle Ages. The trappings of the day symbolize our connection with the strivings of humankind that has gone on for centuries The ceremony places us in the important position as the most recently forged link in the chain of knowledge that connects us not only with those who have gone before but with those who will follow after as well.

So while graduation has much to do with tradition, you-as adult learners-bring a special dimension to the proceedings because you have earned your degree in a non-traditional time frame. Rather than starting and finishing your degrees imme- diately following high school, you chose a different path. For most of you this involved first making your mark in the professional sphere, as well as form- ing families and making a place for yourself in the community. You came to St. Joseph's as mature adults with accomplishments, responsibilities, and real-world knowledge. From this position of strength you applied yourself to the acquisition and formation of knowledge. While this road has not been easy for you, it has brought you far. Although you might wish an easier route for your offspring, there is no denying that what you have learned and the way you have learned it is laudable. Which is the real reason that graduation day for the School of Adult and Professional Education is always memo- rable.
I would like to extend a word of appreciation to Daniel Beni and S. Carole Lessard for the work that they have done to make this year's Achievements such a success. May it serve as a reminder of your accomplishments and of the friends who shared the St. Joseph's College experience with you.
Sincerely,

Graduation is an occasion to reflect on all that you have accomplished as a result of your studies at Saint Joseph's College. You have acquired critical thinking, problem solv- ing, and life development skills that have moved you clos- er to what prominent psychologists state is the most important goal of adult development, self-understanding. You now have a clearer vision of your aspirations, values, and potential as human beings. You are also prepared to utilize knowledge and skills acquired to effect a better balance between the needs of the communities you serve and available programmatic resources. In so doing, you will serve as effective advocates for constructive institutional change.
I hope that this year's Achievements will become a permanent keepsake of friendships developed and experiences shared with staff, faculty, and colleagues during your time at Saint Joseph's College. Cer- tainly the writings reflected in the pages of this yearbook, capture the special struggles and singular accomplishments of the adult learner who has made the commitment to pursue academic excellence in the face of daunting professional and family responsibilities. In this regard, I would like to extend special thanks to Ann Alexis, Karen Burnham, Yamill Costanzo, Gregory Green, Laura Garris, Aurora Jones, Sharon Korsberg, Nirida Powell, Sharon Calahan-Wormworth, Thomas Webb, and lyabo Adunni Yusuf. A special thanks is in order to S. Carole Lessard and Sadie McMillian for providing steadfast administrative support and encouragement which enhanced all of our efforts to bring this special memento into being.
Congratulations and very best wishes for the future.
Cordially,
Daniel Beni
SCHOOL OF ADULT AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION GETS ARTS CLUB
Last spring, a group of students enrolled in the School ot Adult and Professional Education, who are committed to enjoyment of the Arts, launched The Aesthetics Activities (Arts) Club. The objectives of TAAC are:
♦ To promote and encourage and maintain the study, development and appreciation of the Arts
♦ To provide a forum to discuss and share insights from Arts activities attended
♦ To disseminate information about the Arts to the St. Joseph's College community
Under the leadership of Daniel Beni, faculty moderator, Club Members and Friends attend plays and musicals (on and off-Broadway), dance recitals, concerts, and shows of established and new painters, photographers, and other artists exhibiting in museums and other venues throughout New York City.
The Club recently attended the stellar Broadway musicals, Cats and Miss Saigon as well as the heralded drama, Jitney. Alumni of the School are most welcome to participate in Club-sponsored activities.
lembers of the Arts Club attend a performance of Miss Saigon on Broadway.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, GIVE UP
I am a registered nurse born in the West Indies, and I attended nursing school, at the General Hospital, St. George's, Grenada. After four years training under the British system, I graduated with a diploma in General Nursing and Midwifery.
However, here in America, I had to return to college in order to further my educa- tion. It was a very difficult task for me because I was a single parent with two children, a full time job, and I often moonlighted to make ends meet.
Well, I did return to college, but due to domestic issues, I felt I could not focus. Therefore, I dropped out of college on four occasions.
One day I was speaking to a friend about my dropping in and out of college. He said to me, "You have to learn how to focus". Then, he began telling me a story about someone by the name of Les Brown. He also gave me some tapes by Les Brown.
I became inspired and motivated, after learning of Les Brown's early years. I said to myself, if he can reinvent his life from being labeled "mentally retarded," and today is know as one of the world's best motivational and inspirational speakers, why shouldn't I be able to overcome any obstacles in my path?
So with commitment, dedication, drive, focus and faith, I returned to St Joseph's College in the Spring of 1 999, and here I am, a graduate of the Class 2001
m
with a B.S. in Community Health/Human Services.
I would like to share a little affirmation, written by author Les Brown that I say at least four times a day, to build my courage and to focus on my dreams and goals.
If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace and your sleep for it ... if all that you dream and scheme is about it, and life seems useless and worthless without it ... if you gladly sweat for it and fret for it and plan for it and lose all your ter- ror of the opposition for it ... if you simply go after that thing you want with all of your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith, hope and confidence and stern pertinacity ... if neither cold, poverty famine, nor gout, sickness nor pain, of body and brain, can keep you away from that thing that you want . . . If dogged and grim you beseech and beset it, with the help of God, you WILL get it!
Say this when you need to do the same.

MY FIRST MARATHON By Yamill Costanzo
When I ran my first marathon, it was the New York City Marathon. I was alone, it was early in the morning and after a year of training and preparing I felt scared stiff. I kept asking myself what if I fall and break my leg, what if I can't finish. What I was most afraid of was that I was doing this alone. Some runners ran as couples, some as teams, and some with friends. Well there I was with no one to push me when I felt like giving up. There were 29,000 runners and I knew no one.
The race began on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island; everyone around me spoke a different language. After all, this is the marathon where people all over the world come together to run. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest I kept saying "my God what was I thinking".
Far ahead, I heard the gun go off and slowly the crowd began to move forward. I said a little prayer and I was off on my 5-borough journey. I thought about all the hard work it took to get there and focused on my running. When I approached 4th Avenue in Brooklyn, I was overwhelmed by all the people that were there. Some had signs with names on them; they were out there cheering for their loved ones. I felt sad because there was no one I knew who had come out to cheer for me. I felt alone. I kept telling myself not to feel sorry for myself and focus. Suddenly, I saw an old friend whom I hadn't seen for about 1 0 years. He was so surprised to see me. I stopped, gave him a big hug and continued to run. A couple of miles down the road I saw students from St. Joseph's College; my fellow students were out there giving out water in support of all the runners. This made me feel so good. All those people who were out there cheering in support of all the runners was so amazing to me.
As my run continued, I no longer felt alone. I began to realize that I had plenty of support. Since then I have run in Las Vegas, Florida, and other States but nothing beats my experi- ence with the New York City Marathon. Thank You St. Joseph's for being out there that day. I know I ran a little faster because of you and all the others who cheered us on.
