Jonica's Story

I found my way to Cowley on a whim; I submitted some poetry and some fun facts about myself to a writing scholarship I found online. Unbeknownst to me at the time, I had misspelled my email so during a dress rehearsal for my senior musical; I got a call from Marlys Cervantes offering me a scholarship for the Creative Writing program. Just like that my whole life changed.

Although my journey was hard, the people I met here helped me get through and if I had had to choose, I wouldn't change a single thing. Cowley College helped me find my voice and with it I roar.

Creative Writing Transfer Pathway

I moved to a different city for the first time leaving everything I knew behind me. Living on my own was hard but, I found a home at Cowley because of professors like Meg Smith, Abigail Green, Ryan Doom, and Deborah Layton, and the many others, are a part of my academic journey.

My time at Cowley College was difficult. I worked three jobs, joined Cowley County BBBS, and was part of student life while working in the Marketing Department. But now I am the first in my family to graduate college, and will be attending Emporia State to pursue English Education, striving to become the many people who helped me in my journey here.
