‘Taking the Pharmacy Tech class at Gav was such a positive experience for me! Yes, it
was challenging for me, but I felt like I could rise to the challenge and guess what!? I
did it!! The schedule fit my work schedule and our instructor was actually quite fun. A
few times it was daunting (like the math part, I hate fractions) but I never gave up. If I
could do it, anyone who wants to learn new things and live large, this is the way to go!

home and share. Loretta Thompson has created countless computer games since 1980. From first genera-
tion games that were text based, to computer games that now include characters and plots, Loretta has seen
and done it all. Loretta’s first student, and probably her most memorable is her son who because of Loretta’s
teaching, worked for Activision on two games including Call of Duty 3 and Spiderman 3.
