When Brandon Frye finished high school in Washington, D.C., he had no sense of purpose or direction. Despite ranking among Cordoza Senior High School’s top 2010 graduates, he hadn’t sought any scholarships or even applied to college. “I didn’t take school seriously. I really didn’t know what I wanted to do with myself,” he said.
Frye graduated from Thomas Nelson Community College on May 14 and now knows triumph through higher education. After high school he was idle for several months while living with his mother and younger sister. His family suffered consecutive losses that forced him to grow up. “Between [June 2010 and January 2011] my grandmother, grandfather and my aunt died. My grandmother and my aunt had breast cancer,” he said.
His mother frequently missed work while caring for her sister and mother during their illnesses. Eventually she lost her job as a legal secretary. Her struggle opened his eyes.

When Wessam Wasef moved from Egypt to the United States with his parents and younger brother in 2007, he knew he would be exposed to immeasurable advantages. Thomas Nelson Community College (TNCC) has helped Wasef realize some of those opportunities. The aspiring neurosurgeon turned to TNCC in fall 2012 for the educational foundation that will allow him to follow the career path of his father, who was a cardiologist in Egypt for 28 years.
After just one year at Thomas Nelson, Wasef was accepted to Christopher Newport University (CNU) where he will study cell biology. He credits TNCC for preparing him for his educational journey at CNU. “Thomas Nelson… made me an outstanding student that other four-year universities want,” Wasef said.
