PTC is especially proud of one student, Ashley Nolen, who saved a boy from busy traffic just a few days ago. Having just left PTC for the day, Nolen was driving south on Hwy. 61 and noticed a small boy running in and out of traffic.
"I saw him from a distance but didn't realize it was a little boy until I got closer," Nolen says. "I grabbed him and took him up a nearby driveway, where I assumed he lived, and a woman came running across the yard. I asked if the boy was hers, and she said 'Yes,' and thanked me. She was so happy nothing happened to her son and that I brought him home," Nolen explains.
Nolen says it looked like the boy was chasing after a dog, and as a student going into the Early Childhood Development program, she says she just couldn't ignore the situation.
"I just love children, and I know at that age, they haven't developed the ability to judge situations like that, and I just had to step in," Nolen says. "Although I haven't started the child development classes yet -- I'm taking Intro to Psych [sic] and Critical Thinking [sic] now -- I can't wait to jump into the CDEV lineup this fall," Nolen adds.
