On A Roll! August 2014
FSE would like to congratulate Dereka Brown, Administrative Assistant at the CDC Atlanta, for receiving an award for making honor roll all year at Strayer University. Currently pursuing a degree in accounting, Dereka works full time and attends classes in the evenings. "It takes a lot of scheduling, and a lot of discipline, but it can be done," says Dereka, "and a whole lot of praying!"
Dereka celebrated her accomplishment with a vacation with her sisters. "It was a celebration not to read anything I didn't want to read or write a paper," said Dereka, explaining that during the school year she had to write a paper every weekend.
Despite the hard work, Dereka says it is worth it. "I am really enjoying myself, believe it or not; I really am!"
