I started my dream at Bramson ORT College!

"My name is Lu. I am 39 years old with two kids and my lovely wife. I chose to pursue my goal last year and enrolled at Bramson ORT College.

I am a Traditional Chinese Acupuncturist. I use acupuncture and massage techniques to help patients with pain and other symptoms. As my father was an Urologist and Surgeon, I always knew there would be better results if patients could receive a combination treatment of western medicine with eastern traditional medicine. My goal is to become a Physician Assistant and Bramson ORT College was the start of my dream. The Medical Assistant Program is an affordable alternative to entering directly into a four-year PA Program. I chose the Medical Assistant Program at Bramson ORT College as it has courses that match the prerequisite courses for the PA Program.

With the help from Bramson ORT’s friendly Admissions Staff and the Financial Aid Department, the enrollment went smoothly. The flexible class schedule suits my need to work and take care of my family. The engaging professors, small class size, and supportive classroom and lab environment make the study efficient and fun.

I finished my internship two weeks ago. The clinic that I interned at hired me upon completion. The doctor was so satisfied with my knowledge and the advanced skills that I acquired at Bramson ORT College. Moreover, I successfully transferred most of the course credits to CUNY York College's Physician Assistant Program.

It is good to have a dream. Don’t stop there, go for it! Believe in yourself and dreams will come true!"

Bramson ORT College Paralegal Students Visit The Brooklyn Law Library

On August 6, 2013, the Legal Research and Writing class of the Brooklyn campus visited the Brooklyn Law Library. Students toured the library with a staff legal librarian and reviewed the numerous research materials, texts, and documents available to attorneys and paralegals. In this picture, students are reviewing cases from more than 100 years ago. It was amazing to read a case decided after the end of the US Civil War and the beginning of the US Industrial Revolution. The paralegal students, accompanied by Professor Aicha Cesar, saw first-hand how attorneys and paralegals perform legal research. This was a great field trip!

Bramson ORT led me to a Golden Path!

"Why did I become a college student? After being employed at my former job for a decade, I was laid off. I was hurt, scared, and confused, and I didn’t know how I would be able to survive without a steady income.

It has always been a dream of mine to further my education. Education has always been, and remains, one of the key values in my family. I wanted to convey the importance of education to my children, without being a hypocrite. Though I would be receiving unemployment benefits, I knew this would give me the opportunity pursue my long time dream of obtaining a college degree. What better way to set an example for my family than to show them that I could earn a college degree while being a mother, babysitter, and household manager? Yes, women wrote the book on multitasking! I knew that pursuing a college degree would be a challenge, and that it would take a lot of hard work, but I believed in myself!

I began researching two-year colleges and learned about Bramson ORT College. The

small class sizes, diverse student body, and hands-on training caught my attention. Having been out of school for a long period of time, I knew I would need some encouragement and individualized help from my instructors. Their support was wonderful and gave me the positive boost I needed.

I enrolled in the Medical Assistant Associate Degree Program at Bramson ORT College. I knew that because of the tremendous growth in the health service industry, I would have a better chance of being employed in this field. In less than two years, I landed my dream job as a Medical Assistant!

Through this life changing experience, I’ve learned that you should always aspire to achieve your goals, no matter what obstacles may get in your way. Never stop believing in yourself. With perseverance and hard work, “YOU” can make it happen! If you believe in your dreams and work hard towards your goals, doors will open up in ways you’d never have imagined. I believed, achieved, and succeeded, and you can too!"

BRAMSON ORT COLLEGE CONGRATULATES THE CLASS OF 2013!

BRAMSON ORT COLLEGE CONGRATULATES THE CLASS OF 2013!

This June, Bramson ORT College held their graduation ceremony at the Forest Hills Jewish Center. Staff, faculty, friends, and parents gathered to congratulate the class of 2013. Students delivered captivating speeches reflecting on how Bramson ORT aided them on their path to success. Many shared their personal life stories during the graduation.  One such powerful speech was delivered by Jessica Florez. Jessica enrolled in the Medical Department with a concentration in Medical Billing and Coding.  On the day of her graduation, she shared her story of struggle, transformation, and victory in a speech that moved many in the audience.

My name is Jessica Florez and I am a woman who was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. This year, I achieved my goal of graduating college. I came to Bramson ORT College inquiring about information on how to become a student and I decided to enroll. It has always been a dream of mine to graduate college and have a successful future in a medical profession. During my time at Bramson ORT College, I was faced with tragedy that forced me to struggle throughout my semesters. On September 29, 2009, I enrolled at Bramson ORT College with great excitement to be taking a step forward in furthering my education. I was eager to share the news with my mom and brother and contact my father. I received a phone call that evening and had to face the worst possible news about my father’s death. My father had suffered a heart attack. For me, losing a parent and not having them be able to witness one's joy and happiness is incredibly painful. I didn’t want to go back to school and I was missing a lot of my classes. But something came over me during that time. It was like I had my father by my side saying, “Jessica you have to finish school! I want you to achieve your hopes and dreams and I will be looking down at you.” So, I pulled myself together and I conquered this for him. Even though my dad couldn’t be with me on my graduation to celebrate this special day, I know he’s here in spirit. Losing a loved one like my dad has motivated me to graduate. I know I’ve made him proud. I want to state that things aren’t easy in life. In order to become someone and grow as an individual you are going to have to face struggles in life, but you can overcome them as I did. I’m glad that I pushed myself towards the right direction to finish college and go after what I want in life. I want to thank my mom who brought me into this world. She has always encouraged me to do the right things and has always supported me. My mom always wants what’s best for me and I love her. I also want to thank my friends and family who have supported me throughout this journey. I wanted to say to my dad what I did not get a chance to say to him, “Dad, I love you and miss you and will continue to make you proud!” I want to thank the staff and professors at Bramson ORT College who were there for me and believed in me as a student and as an individual. My experience at Bramson ORT will never be forgotten and I will take that with me always. Thank you to everyone at Bramson ORT College for the opportunity to share my story! I greatly appreciate it! And to my fellow classmates, good luck to each and every one of you. Thank you!
