If you want to get a feel for the literary talents of students and faculty at Hagerstown Community College, it is waiting for you in 100 pages known as the Hedge Apple. A mainstay of the college for about 10 years, the Hedge Apple is an outlet for students and faculty to publish poetry, short fiction and artwork. The magazine usually attracts a large number of writers and other artists hoping to have their creations published, said Amanda Miller, a member of the school's English faculty.

Kathleen Dorman talked Sunday about her days abusing cocaine and how she was “headed in all the wrong places.” Dorman - speaking during an adult education commencement at Hagerstown Community College - said she was told that she was never going to amount to anything and for seven years, she prayed to God for help. That help arrived in the form of a husband who she now credits with being an “angel” in her life. Dorman moved to Hagerstown from Baltimore and began seeking her high school diploma with help from the Washington County Family Center.

It might be old school, but in this family, nothing beats a good education. Hand them a textbook, give them a project and they can't wait to learn. Maybe it's in their genes. Maybe it's the desire to reach their full potential. Whatever the reason, they are waiting for their turn in the commencement line and the opportunity to realize their dreams. They are three Hagerstown women who mirror the evolution of college — a daughter, a mother and a grandmother, balancing course work with life and doing it together.
