\u201cIt\u2019s a good day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ordinarily, that would be one of those off-hand remarks like \u201cnice weather,\u201d but it\u2019s clear that in Katrina LaChance\u2019s world a \u201cgood day\u201d means a lot more.<\/p>\n

Katrina\u2019s first encounter with Goodwin College began in 2002 when she was newly single and the mother of a two-year-old son. She earned associate degrees in Medical Assisting<\/a> and Billing & Coding<\/a> and enjoyed the school community so much that she often logged extra hours as a student volunteer.<\/p>\n

Katrina believed she was perfectly positioned to start a new career in the healthcare field, but life circumstances derailed her plans when she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. In addition, she was dealing with financial difficulties, depression, and the effects of domestic violence. In the ensuing years, Katrina realized that the hard-earned knowledge from her two degrees was not enough and that her career goals were moving farther into the distance.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Katrina began to notice a significant and troubling change in her son. \u201cHis mannerisms began to change,\u201d she explains, \u201cand he was depressed and anxious. He barely was able to attend school. I watched him go from being an A student to getting Cs and Ds.\u201d It got to the point that he could not go into his school without experiencing full-on panic attacks.<\/p>\n

Katrina turned to their hometown school system for help in finding out what was happening to her son and to put together a plan of action. \u201cDespite the extreme things that were going on with him,\u201d she says, \u201cthe people we were asking for help had him written off as just being truant, without even trying to understand what was actually wrong with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katrina felt that she had to take matters into her own hands. Her first decision was to homeschool her son.<\/p>\n

After visiting many different doctors, she learned that her son suffers from social anxiety. Her next step was to learn all she could about the condition. \u201cI needed to know what rights parents have,\u201d she says. \u201cHow do they effectively advocate for their kids’ education?\u201d<\/p>\n

Katrina took a local Parents Educating Parents course and got involved with the Parent Leadership Training Institute, part of the Connecticut Commission on Women, Children and Seniors. She reached out to government leaders like Connecticut State Representative Jason Rojas for guidance, organizations like Child Plan, and any educational resource that was available \u2014 and free.<\/p>\n

As Katrina amassed an impressive working knowledge on advocating for children with social anxiety, she realized, \u201cEffecting real change meant education, and that meant a degree \u2014 and that meant sacrifice. But I wanted to do something for all children and parents seeking help, not just for my son and me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still caring for her son and dealing with her own increasing physical challenges, Katrina turned to prayer to help her figure out a path forward. She asked for some sign and, in less time that she imagined, she received one: a television commercial for Goodwin College reminded her where her educational journey had started and where she might turn now, some 10 years later, for support.<\/p>\n

With the new goal of earning a degree in Human Services<\/a>, she visited Goodwin and met her old friend Mary Henderson at the Welcome Center Desk. She also reconnected with Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty Danielle Wilken, who recalls, \u201cWhen you have taught for many years, some students truly stand out, like Katrina. She always has a kind word and never complains about the challenges of balancing school and home. It was amazing to call her name at Commencement this year for her bachelor\u2019s degree.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Human Services department, Katrina found much-needed support and understanding among her professors. \u201cThere was not one faculty member who did not go above and beyond in their support of me,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

And if they were a source of comfort to Katrina, she was an inspiration to them. \u201cKatrina is an enthusiastic, passionate Human Services professional,\u201d says Karen Carey, Interim Program Director. \u201cShe was typically the first person in the classroom, eagerly anticipating the lesson of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katrina has become a hero to herself and her family and a role model\u00a0for other students.<\/p>\n

One experience that was particularly central to Katrina\u2019s growth at Goodwin has been working as a research assistant to Dr. Diana LaRocco, department chair for Social and Educational Sciences at Goodwin, who was preparing a paper entitled, \u201cSocial Justice and Ordinary Lives for Children with Disabilities: Mothers\u2019 Reflections on Advocacy and Leadership.\u201d Katrina\u2019s duties included reviewing the interviews of 12 mothers of children with developmental disabilities and making sure the text accurately reflects the participants\u2019 intentions. Not only did Katrina\u2019s work involve her ongoing fascination with research, the profiles that she read through spoke to her in ways that touched her heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery transcript I read was my<\/em> story,\u201d she shares. \u201cAnother person\u2019s name, another person\u2019s face, but my story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a research assistant, Katrina is gaining first-hand experience in the process of conducting a qualitative interview study,\u201d LaRocco shares. \u201cShe has long advocated for her own child, so reaching out to mothers in similar situations helps them navigate multi-layered, complex educational and human services systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work she\u2019s done on this project was cathartic and affirms her desire to go to graduate school,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

While far from perfect, things in Katrina\u2019s life are beginning to take a positive turn. Her son earned his GED at just about the same time she received her bachelor\u2019s degree, having been included on the President’s List every semester since her return to Goodwin. She is now finishing up work on her capstone project. Katrina was even selected to represent the College at the state capital by testifying on the importance of funding higher education.<\/p>\n

Still, the educational journey is far from over. \u201cI want to earn my doctorate,\u201d she says. \u201cMy goal is to go deeper into research on social anxiety and special needs. I\u2019d love to teach and to be an effective advocate in and for my community.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are still challenges. There is still an uphill climb. There are good days and bad, but in speaking about her passion for serving others and answering a higher calling, Katrina says, \u201cToday is a good day.\u201d<\/p>\n
