TEACHERS WEEK begins with Carol Treece the med-tech and STNA instructor for Millstream.

Carol began her career later in life after her children were grown up. She received her RN certification at Owens at the age of 36. She specialized in long-term care working at Heritage and Birchaven. She also spent time in the evenings educating non-traditional students how to pass the license requirements to become  STNA and medication aides. Her work was recognized by Millstream and she was approached to become the Med Tech instructor. Six years ago she took the challenge and has never regretted it.

Carol teaches 65 primarily junior and senior college bound students prepare for careers and for college life. She develops a personal relationship with each student. She follows the philosophy of “Students don’t care what you know, they know how much you care.” Carol always let her students know “I am here for you.”

She is also a student at the University of Toledo. She earned her teaching certification there and is 6 classes away from earning her Bachelor’s in Education.

A single mom of three grown up children, she is also grandma to four grandbabies. Two of her children were adopted after being placed in her home as foster children. She is very proud of all her children as they “let me grow when I needed to. They are great kids, great parents.”

She has had numerous role models as she tries to learn from “everybody who enters my life, as each has something to teach me, students, my children, my mom.”

She loves the philosophy “Just Be!” “What ever you do, come out of your comfort zone and do it, be it.”
