Cynthia McCallon from St. Joseph, Missouri, has been selected as North Central Missouri College’s Outstanding Student for February. Cynthia is a second-year nursing student and will graduate in May with her Associate in Nursing degree to become an RN. After graduation, Cindy would love to serve her community in hospice care or work as an OB nurse. She also plans on pursuing a bachelor’s degree in nursing.

Cynthia is a student at the NCMC Maryville site, and her favorite class is Maternal Pediatric Nursing. She enjoys spending time with her husband and three children. She is heavily involved in her church and the music ministry there. She also sings every chance she gets at local events. When asked why she chose NCMC, Cynthia said, “I have always heard wonderful things about the NCMC ADN program. I did my prerequisites here and had a wonderful experience. So naturally, when it was time to apply to the ADN program, it was my first choice.”

Secondly, my classmates are phenomenal. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better classmate family! They make coming to class every day a true blessing. NCMC has equipped me with the tools I need to learn and empowered me to strive to be a better nurse for my patients. I'm so honored to have this opportunity to be here to learn and grow in my career.”

From the nomination, “Cynthia McCallon is a wonderful student and person. She has been noticed by the staff at our Technical Center in Maryville. She always greets them and is so sweet to them. Cynthia is the class president for our Maryville ADN group, and she has been so encouraging to our class. She is always posting positive notes to students either on the board or once via teams when she was headed to a funeral. Even despite her own life circumstances, she always remains positive and encouraging. As a student, she puts in so much hard work and effort and is always appreciative of any and all help she gets. She spends extra time with instructors to be sure she is understanding all the material. She always comes prepared to class with a smile.”

Built to last

Big SUVs dominated a list of vehicles with the longest potential life span, with many going well over 200,000 miles A study by the iSeeCars.com auto site of vehicles listed for sale found that Toyota’s huge Sequoia SUV has a potential life span of almost 297,000 miles, the longest of any vehicle. The website calculated that at least 1% of the Sequoias on the road have that many miles on them.

It analyzed more than 2 million vehicles that were made and sold for at least 10 of the past 20 model years. To make the final list at least 1% of each model had to have over 200,000 miles on them.

There were 10 Toyotas in the top 20

Executive Analyst Karl Brauer said many large SUVs are durable, and they often rack up more miles because people drive them on long commutes or frequent freeway trips, which are easier on engines. “There s hardly any wear going on. It’s just cruising at a steady rate,” Brauer said. To get a vehicle over 200,000 miles, Brauer suggests following your vehicle’s maintenance schedule, especially oil changes. Vehicles last longer than 20 years ago largely because oil is more durable and lubricates better, he said.
