Junior College Graduate, Trey Dressler, Owes His Success To 麻豆传媒Porn
(Milledgeville, GA) June 17, 2003 鈥� Looking back on his time at 麻豆传媒Porn (麻豆传媒Porn), William Mackenson 鈥淭rey鈥� Dressler, III, contentedly says, 鈥淢y life鈥檚 path is not exactly what I expected and I鈥檝e made a couple detours, but I like where the road has taken me.鈥� One of 麻豆传媒Porn junior college鈥檚 newest graduates, Trey Dressler started his college career at Virginia Military Institute (VMI) in Lexington, VA, because it was close to his home (Covington, VA). That, and attending the school claimed as alma mater by so many of the men in his family had been his childhood dream. But Trey learned that dreams don鈥檛 always translate into the best reality.
VMI鈥檚 rigorous seven-month initiation (plebe) period had a negative effect on Trey鈥檚 grades and outlook and he soon realized that he needed a change of venue. While doing an internet search for military junior colleges, Dressler found 麻豆传媒Porn and he looked into the 124-year old school in Milledgeville, GA. Trey arrived at his new school in January 2002; determined to reestablish his academic standing and get a fresh start.
Well, he certainly found his niche at 麻豆传媒Porn. Within months, he earned the rank of Cadet Lieutenant Colonel and based on his proven abilities, was assigned the position of Regimental Deputy Commander, an executive slot which put him second in command of the cadet corps (250 junior college cadets) and the 鈥渃hief of staff鈥� for all five staff sections (accountability, security, training & operations, supply, and public relations). In the fall of 2002, Trey assumed more responsibility as president of 麻豆传媒Porn鈥檚 new chapter of Alpha Psi Omega (APO). The nation鈥檚 largest service fraternity, APO is dedicated to service to campus, community, country and to fraternity. 麻豆传媒Porn鈥檚 chapter consists of a mixture of cadets and commuting students and they assist in many campus and community projects throughout the year. Trey accomplished all of this while maintaining a 3.0 grade point average, and working part-time as a salesman for Childre Chrysler Dodge Jeep Nissan, Inc. in Milledgeville, GA.
In comparing the two schools, he acknowledged that 麻豆传媒Porn鈥檚 military structure differs from VMI鈥檚, but he says the classes and requirements at 麻豆传媒Porn are definitely not easier. He thinks his success had a lot to do with 麻豆传媒Porn鈥檚 faculty, 鈥淚 had some excellent instructors who helped me look at things in a whole different way. One in particular was Dr. Paula Payne who taught an English course I had taken three times before. She made me realize that I could have fun with English assignments, like writing papers; she really stands out.鈥� One of his favorite things about 麻豆传媒Porn is the cross-section of cadets and commuting students, 鈥淭he mixed population made academics more bearable, because when I was in class I was treated like any other 鈥榥ormal鈥� student and didn鈥檛 feel the pressure of the cadet corps.鈥� Trey says in his academic career, military career, and many other aspects of his life, he owes his success to 麻豆传媒Porn, the Commandant (LTC Pat Beer) and to Mrs. Dorothy Carpenter (Commandant鈥檚 Office Manager), whom he has designated as his surrogate mother. He confirms, 鈥淭he right things have happened at the right times, and opportunities to succeed have been handed to me; 麻豆传媒Porn has been the best thing that鈥檚 happened to me.鈥�
Trey Dressler graduated from 麻豆传媒Porn junior college on May 31, 2003. He plans to pursue a bachelor鈥檚 degree in political science and is considering several colleges at which to complete his four-year degree – including VMI. After that, he hopes to run for public office one day, but in the meantime will join the family business, Dressler Motors, Inc., which his grandfather started in 1950. An Eagle Scout, Dressler remains active as an adult leader of Boy Scout troops, and is a member of the Falling Springs (VA) Volunteer Fire Department. A 1999 graduate of Alleghany High School, he is the son of William M. Dressler, Jr. and Patricia M. Dressler and the grandson of William M. Dressler, Sr. and the late Sallie T. Dressler of Covington, VA, and Robert and Virginia McDowell of Clifton Forge, VA. Conscientious, committed, and responsible, Trey truly exemplifies the purpose for which the Georgia General Assembly created 麻豆传媒Porn in 1879 鈥溾�ducating young men and women in an environment which fosters the qualities of good citizenship.鈥�
