"My dad passed away beginning of the semester and being the oldest brother and the last of the two survivors of the family I decided to do what I have to to take care of my brother, regardless of our history so… I stepped up, I took control over the situation, I inherited this huge burden and now I’m still in the process of doing everything all for my brother’s future but also for mine. It’s what my parents would want." Diversity Cortland

"There was a lot of time like, with my junior year, just before my junior year where just everything was going wrong and I pretty much had everybody against me for school and it was just time to show them what exactly I was made of so it was me sticking to my guns and kind of like showing that I am able to do what I want to do for the rest of my life."

"I think a time that was probably where I had to be the bravest was I started teaching college at age 21 and I looked younger than most of my class, in fact I was younger than most of my class. I was going to school in Omaha and one one of the guys stationed at Offutt Air Force base was taking a class and he took one look at me and informed me that I was gonna call him “Sir.” And I said, “I don’t ask you to call me Professor Garrighan and you’re not gonna get called “sir.” I mean, I was two days into a teaching career and getting a challenge like that… I mean that was scary. I expected a lot of things, but not that type of challenge." .. (to follow all Humans of SUNY Cortland, follow us on instagram )
