“During my first quarter, not only did I separate from my now ex-husband, but my best friend had passed away. I had A’s in all of my classes, but started failing my exams and not doing my homework. I didn’t think I would make it through, but because of how small the classes are, I made many friends that helped me through that difficult time and I passed my first quarter with two A’s and a B. After that, I realized how strong I really was. I realized I had support from my friends, and that my instructors saw potential in me that I never knew was there. I gained confidence, and felt strong and empowered to do anything I wanted. I discovered the drive to not just attend school, but to utilize my new confidence to tutor and encourage other students who needed help through a position as a Teachers’ Assistant!

There is a huge support system at Bel-Rea. Not only do I have very close friends that help me, but my teachers and the staff are there every step of the way to show me the potential I have and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I can’t say I have overcome the hardest of my obstacles, but I want everyone to know that you can be a single parent, have no parental support, have a job, and maintain a great GPA. It is difficult, but it is not impossible. YOU CAN DO IT TOO! Keep your goal in sight, learn to prioritize, and never give up. You have so much potential to be the best you can be.”

“Bel-Rea gave me the education I needed to leave one great occupation and enter another without fear. The assistance, training, and preparation I received where far beyond my expectations. Coming into a field “blind” and not knowing what it was I needed to transition career fields was handled well by the personable and adept staff. I found a new family while alone in Denver.”

Glenda T – Graduate

“I am originally from Colorado, left after High School for the Navy, and returned to Colorado after I got out to go to Bel-Rea. I left Colorado again for California two days after graduation to take a job as a Department of Defense Police Officer/Explosive Detector Dog Handler. My degree from Bel Rea actually got me a $10,000/year raise before I even started. My education and experience are very helpful since I work with these dogs everyday. They, like any other animal also need veterinary care. I volunteer every week at the local clinic that we take our dogs to, and recently I came in contact with someone that trains Dolphins/Seals for the Navy, and I have an interview with that veterinarian next week. I never imagined the world of opportunities that would come after graduation.”

Elizabeth M – Graduate

“I have seen and learned so much working in the field of veterinary medicine. It is not only patients that I grow attached to, many of the pet owners have touched my heart as clients and the relationships I have developed caring for their pets has added much joy to my life. My favorite part about my job is not necessarily the various job skills I perform such as lab work, radiology, dentistry, pharmacology, anesthesia, assisting in surgery, etc, but the ability to start a patient’s case and after diagnostics are performed to find the correct treatment and watch a patient become well again. There is nothing like being able to see an animal come in very sick and leave feeling well.”
