Personal Statement about FCC Experience:

“My year at FCC was the greatest year of my college experience. Coach Miller and Mrs. Miller were like guardian angels to me while I was away from home. I remember doing my classwork and eating dinner at their kitchen table three times a week. Coach taught me so much about how to maximize my basketball talent and even more about how to succeed in life. Many of those lessons I still refer to in life today. FCC is home to me.”
