utting this magazine together has been a labor of love. Many hands were drafted to service and all brought their A-game. From the design to the stories to the photographs, everyone gave their very best. This year’s theme is important to us. We realize we need
each other and that we all matter. We won’t let our age, race or origin keep us apart. These differences make us individuals but that same individuality binds us together. The one thing we all have in common is that we are all different and that is wonderful. We embrace each other as we embrace what makes us different. We are bound together into one entity with many faces — the Faces of Kilgore College.

Home-schooled Heroes home-schooled students focus on service STORY BY JAMIE HWANG • PHOTOGRAPH BY MARIA CABRERA
H
ome-school parents play an important role in their children’s lives. They choose to home-school their children because they feel that they can give their children a better education, raise them to reach out to help others
Warren’s education until high school took place in a little town called Burlington, North Carolina and then he moved to Henderson to continue his education and after high school, he started attending KC to become a Criminal Justice major. He will transfer to LeTourneau
and influence them to make good choices for their community. Michael Ferguson, criminal justice instructor, thinks one of the reasons that people who are home-schooled are service-oriented and care more about others is because home-school parents tend to be focused on what’s important for the community as a whole and they have been a big influence on their children. “I think people who are home-schooled tend to be people who are drawn to service industries where they can make a difference,” he said. Chris Warren, Bangor, Maine sophomore, and William Whiteley, Longview freshman, were homeschooled through high school before coming to KC. Interestingly, Warren and Whiteley have a lot in common because they are both criminal justice majors and will also be going for the same job. Ferguson, who is Warren and Whiteley’s major instructor, didn’t know they were home-schooled before he was interviewed. However, he said that he wasn’t surprised about that because he got a few homeschooled students occasionally when he used to teach at the police academy. “You could usually tell home-schooled students because they were extremely polite and they tended to be very focused on their studies,” Ferguson said. He believes that Warren and Whiteley both exhibit these traits. “They are there to pay attention and they are there to learn. They are not there just to kid around. So, it does not surprise me,” he said.
University after KC. “At first, I wasn’t too enthusiastic about Kilgore but after my first semester, I made a lot of good friends and I really enjoyed the campus atmosphere,” Warren said. Warren chose criminal justice because he wants to become a state trooper. He plans to become a helicopter pilot for the state troopers within a few years after he passes the trooper exam. “One of the deciding factors for why I chose Criminal Justice was the police shooting that happened in Dallas a few years back. That kind of gave me an idea of saying ‘Okay, I don’t want anybody else to be shot,’” he said. Whiteley has three older brothers and Warren has one older brother and one older sister. All were homeschooled. When Warren was in first grade, he went to private school with his brother and sister for one year but none

of them really enjoyed it, so all of them decided to be home-schooled. “It was always my decision whether or not I wanted to be homeschooled,” Warren said. Warren and Whiteley loved being homeschooled. “I had the option to go to public school but I decided to be homeschooled because the atmosphere in public school was just not appealing to me at all,” Whiteley said. They had a weekly basic schedule when they were home-schooled. They were given a certain amount of homework and had to complete it every week. “My mom was like ‘Here’s your school. If you don’t get it done, you’re not graduating,’” Whiteley said. Warren had five lessons each in math, science, English and history and had to get them all done by Friday. “It was subject by subject, instead of spacing it all out,” he said. This method improved his grades in those areas because he was able to really devote the time to learn about one subject for a day. “I could focus one day and do all of my math on Monday, all of my science on Tuesday,” he said. Whiteley also had daily chores. The main difference about homeschooling is that they were on their own time schedule. “If I wanted to do something fun on Monday, I could do that and catch up on Tuesday. It was pretty cool,” Whiteley said. Just like public schools have exams at the end of the term, Warren and Whiteley took state
M a g a z i n e
n
exams on every subject once a year. Tests came in a packet which they returned to the state after testing. Then, somewhere in the middle of June, they got the packet back with the results and found out if they passed or not. If they didn’t pass their current grade, they had to take it again. “My third grade year, I was in sixth grade math,” Warren said. “We were actually timed and all of my siblings went to the kitchen table when we were taking tests,” Whiteley said. Their moms proctored the tests. To be a test proctor, you must have at least a bachelor’s degree. They say all they needed to take exams was a piece of scratch paper, a pencil and maybe a calculator if they were doing Algebra. “No, you cannot cheat. You’re on your own. Your mom catches you cheat? You’re done,” Warren said. Warren and Whiteley were involved with many activities besides school and they are still enthusiastic about playing sports. “When most people think of home-schooled kids, they think of sheltered people that don’t really have social lives. But I wasn’t like that. I played basketball since I was eight,” Whiteley said. They say the only reason they would’ve gone to public school was for an opportunity for more sports activities. “Now I’m curious about ‘Could I have been in a football team?’ or ‘Could I have played baseball?’” Whiteley said. Warren and Whiteley are both

extroverted and they are always around people because they are active in their church. “I used to practice with basketball players. I hung out with a lot of private school students because I was involved with my church so I had a community of people outside of my home-school group,” Warren said. Warren especially made friends through various community activities. He was a tap dancer and did performances. “I made friends from every crew and club and I just grew up hanging out with everybody,” he said. In Warren’s home-school experience, he went to an actual courthouse and participated in mock trials. He also did online courses from different universities through a program from a company called ‘Alpha Omega.’ “There was a college teacher that I would write essays to and she would send me back the graded papers,” Warren said. Warren and Whiteley both did home-school co-ops where they could do science and math with other home-schooled families, which helped them improve. Even though there are cons about home-schooling, Warren and Whiteley believe there are more pros than cons because they were a part of really good communities and a major influence on them was how their parents decided to guide them in their homeschooling. “I’ve seen really bad home-school communities where the kids are over-sheltered and don’t know how to socialize. They don’t understand how to fit into society and it really

M a g a z i n e
hinders them from making good life choices. And then they get out and experience freedom away from the parents’ house and they just go crazy with it. I think there are pluses and minuses,” Warren said. Warren and Whiteley want to home-school their future children as well and shared their opinion on how to teach them to deal with real life problems such as bullying. “I would teach them self-defense. I wouldn’t encourage them to fight but they would definitely have a way to defend themselves if they’ve got to fight,” Whiteley said. “There is the idea of a wolf, a watchdog and a sheep. You don’t be a sheep. You don’t be a wolf. You could be a watchdog and protect others. Will and I agree with that because we’re both going into DPS. So, the mindset is to protect,” Warren said. Also, Warren’s mother, who has a master’s degree and is a speech-language pathologist, has been a good influence on Warren and guided him in the right path when home-schooling him. Warren believes that homeschooling allows lessons to be given to each kid at their own level of understanding and appropriate to their individual capacity so that they can take their time and slowly build it out. “Each kid is different. You’re being privately tutored for your entire school education. It’s like being the son of a king,” Warren said. Ferguson believes that they are excellent students and both are driven to succeed because their personality is to not be selfish. “I think both of these young men will do well in whatever it is they decide to do. It’s not just because they are good people. I think they will do well because their personality is to help others and to serve the community,” he said.

Success is a Process Leadership award recipient strives to ‘be better than i was’ STORY BY LUCAS STROUGH • PHOTOGRAPH BY ELIZABETH GILLILAN
D
orothy “Dee” Danvers didn’t expect to be nominated for the KC Leadership Excellence award this spring. That’s because, in addition to being an outstanding student, mom, club member and organization president, she’s also unassuming. “I was definitely taken by surprise when they told me that I had been nominated and I was even more taken by surprise when I found out I won,” Danvers said. “It’s definitely a humbling experience. I’m super honored to get that award, not only for myself, but to represent Kilgore College, TRiO and the Process Technology side of everything.” The same hard work and practicality that led to Danvers receiving this award also steered her in the direction of her chosen major. “I’m a Process Technology major with a specialty in petroleum,” Danvers said. “I started out as a medical major. I actually changed that major to Psychology and I was going to transfer to Stephan F. Austin in January. I’d been doing some research over the technical job field and people are going into that at a lower rate than they are into the medical field or fields that require bachelor’s degrees. So I decided that I wanted to be in the technical side of the job field and wanted to do Process Technology. I grew up here in Kilgore so I know the oilfield and that is why I chose the petroleum specialty.”
Although the Process Technology curriculum is challenging and timeconsuming, Danvers wasn’t content to merely pass her classes during her time at KC. She is also active in multiple clubs and organizations. “I am the president of Kilgore College TRiO Club. I’m also a member of Latinos En Accion. I’m a member of the Kilgore College Ranger Ambassadors, as well as the Process Technology Club, which I will also be president of next semester,” Danvers said. Danvers is no stranger to leadership roles. Her time spent in various student clubs has taught her the skills of a leader and the importance of certain behaviors when others look up to her. She’s also learned a great deal about leadership from her own life experience. “I want to set a good example, not only for other students, but I’m also a non-traditional student. I’m really close to 30, and I have two small children at home and they watch me,” Danvers said. “I want to set a good example for them and let them know to always be a leader, not a follower and to push people to their limits to do something that, just like me being a woman in the technical job industry, do something that’s outside of your comfort zone and do something to the best of your ability.” For Danvers, leadership is not just a vague goal meant for posters and speeches. She sees the leadership potential expressed by ordinary people placed in extraordinary
situations. And her role models? “Moms in general. It’s just something about a mother. They always make sure you have everything you need. With me being a single mother and a student, working and in clubs and organizations, it just makes me want to push myself that much harder, watching those that came before me and knowing the example that I’m setting for those that are coming after me.” Danvers is already exploring multiple career options, including an internship with an energy company that has a major project planned in the Kilgore area. “I’m also one of those people that doesn’t want to put all my eggs in one basket,” she said, referring to the variety of options she is considering for jobs after KC. “I’m trying to keep all of my options open and this industry allows you to do that.” Many college students struggle to find the energy to get through a normal class schedule, let alone raise children and lead organizations. But, for Danvers, her daily inspiration is simple and straightforward. “Just to be better than I was the day before,” Danvers said. “Whether that be with my academics, my home life, parenting, leadership, clubs, organization-I want to always improve, always learn and never stop learning.”

Students travel from around the globe to pursue their goals in this small East Texas town and, for many, KC is a bridge between the person they are and the person they wish to become. Nowhere is this more evident than in the KC athletics program. Student athletes come to Kilgore from nearby towns and faraway countries for the chance to earn scholarships and work toward a rewarding career. In 2018, the KC Rangers and Lady Rangers basketball teams competed in a historic season that saw each team one win away from playing on the national level. Although these teams did not make it that spot this year, all of the players distinguished themselves on the court and left an impression on the junior college athletic circuit. For international student athletes, this type of competition and the KC athletics program form a major part of their life stories.

She is willing to make extra time to help any of her students understand a topic better, and is generally enjoyable to be around.

If I could have someone like her in every class I took, the experience of college would be incredible. - Amy Pearson

The Seven Lives of Kevin student finds clubs to match interests STORY BY LONNIE ROSS • PHOTOGRAPH BY KORI STROUD
F
reshman Kevin Bradley from Longview keeps busy during and after class. While studying Legal Assisting at KC, he is also active in
seven clubs. He admits that sometimes he doesn’t have time to attend each one as regularly as he wants, but enjoys all the clubs he is involved in. The seven clubs are: Comic Book Club, Game Club, Latinos en Accion, Legal Assistant Association, Maniacs, Sigma Kappa Delta (English Honor Society) and the Student Government Association. He holds officer positions as the Vice President of Maniacs and Secretary/Treasurer/Cook with Latinos en Accion. The clubs and organizations that take most of his time are the Student Government Association and Latinos en Accion due to the community service they perform. He also serves as the Vice Chair in the Public Relations Subcommittee for the Game Club. His love for writing brought him to Sigma Kappa Delta, a national organization that recognizes academic excellence in English. Kevin likes to write fantasy, romance and sci-fi but says “that can be tricky at times. I have written in fantasy so much it is hard to separate the genres.” Kevin has a tendency to write in detail, which is good for fantasy writing, but he wants to pursue mystery writing and that requires less detail, so that the mystery is not given away. Looking for an International Club to learn about other cultures and their history, Kevin stumbled upon Latinos en Accion and never bothered to look further. According to KC’s website, Latinos en Accion “helps develop and cultivate a Latino-friendly community by sharing language, culture, unity, support and fellowship among students.” Kevin doesn’t have a lot of friends that are gamers, so the Game Club was a perfect fit for him. He wanted to meet like-minded people. His passion for reading comic books and watching anime brings him enjoyment as he participates in the Comic Book Club and the Maniacs club. He joined the Legal Assistant Association to go
along with his major. An early experience with inept lawyers drove him to want to pursue a law degree. His goal is to attend Washington State at the Seattle campus. He feels the school has a good law and writing program. He will be able to purse his degree and continue his passion for writing. While attending the University of Advanced Technology (UAT) in Arizona, he took up fencing. It was a physical program that involved daily runs, exercises and muscle training to build up endurance. He also got involved in the Fencing Club. This club involved fencing practice where the students could fence as much as they wanted, interchanging partners, for three hours a day. “Honestly, it was the best shape I was in. I kind of miss it,” Bradley said. “I enjoy fencing but don’t really have any fencing partners at this time,” he said. Bradley’s hobbies include reading books, manga and writing. He loves to watch anime and Korean dramas. His joy of reading includes two favorite authors. His first favorite author is Hideyuki Kikuchi, whose works include the "Vampire Hunter D” novels. His second is Christine Feehan, whose works include the “Dark” series. One of Kevin’s favorite hobbies is to pick out movies to watch with his friends. However, he always makes sure to ask his friends “What’s your weirdness level?” before making his movie selection. He knows that there are anime films which have different levels of intensity so he wants to make sure his selection is appropriate for whoever will be watching. “My friends still swear off of me picking movies for them when it comes to Japanese movies. They are cool when I pick Korean movies. So the question I pose to them is ‘Where does your weirdness level stop?’ I can go pretty far,” Bradley said. When asked if he ever inquired about weirdness levels on a date, he laughed and said “If I did, it would explain why I’m single.”
