Losing his job - A Dream Come True!

Most people facing unemployment in a rugged economy would be in despair. That only lasted about a day for Greg Lupton of Pamlico County. His wife told him, “Now you have the chance to do what you want to do.”

Lupton enrolled in classes at PCC, became a phlebotomist, a certified Nurse Aide, and after taking college transfer and Medical Assisting classes, is set to enroll in a program at another institution to become an RN.

“Everybody and everything here has just been gold for me,” he says.
