In life and death, father provided motivation for SPCC grad
Jamie Rollins was in his next-to-last semester working on his associate degree at South Piedmont Community College when his father – whom he described as “my biggest supporter when it came to returning to college to complete my degree” – became gravely ill. James Rollins spent a month and a half in Carolinas Medical Center-Union and the Jesse Helms Nursing Center before he died in September. “I spent many days in his hospital room, reading textbooks and taking notes,” Rollins said. “That was at his urging. If I ever showed up without a book, he would ask me why I didn’t have my school work with me.”
