Journal Staff Writer

LINCOLN -- Barbara Ann Harkness started college in 1971. A business student at the former Rhode Island Junior College, she planned to major in retail management.

Within a year, marriage and children changed those plans, turning her attention to stay-at-home motherhood.

Yesterday, more than 30 years later, the smiling second-chance student reached her goal: an associate's degree in business.

"I came back," she said as she walked in the recessional at her college graduation. "And now I'm debating whether to continue."

Harkness, 49, of Smithfield, was one of 1,432 graduates yesterday at the 38th commencement of the Community College of Rhode Island.

While her experience was in some ways unique, it was like those of many of yesterday's graduates in that it followed a not-so-straight path that ultimately led to the right place.

As New England's largest community college, CCRI is, by all accounts, a draw for working people who want to better themselves. But it is also, said Jack Warner, the state's commissioner of higher education, a place where people like Harkness overcome significant hurdles to realize their college and career dreams.

Often, he said, those people become the first in their families to graduate from college.

Warner made his point by asking the members of the graduating class, seated in the fieldhouse of CCRI's Flanagan Campus, to raise their hands if they were the first in their families to receive a college degree. Hundreds of hands went up, backing up surveys that show three-quarters of CCRI's students are the first.

"So am I," Warner told the graduates. "You are going to make it a lot easier for others in your families to do what you have done."

Governor Carcieri, the keynote speaker, echoed those themes, telling how his father, the son of Italian and Swedish immigrants, was the first in his family to graduate from college.

Carcieri then looked forward, urging the graduates to try as many things as they can as they enter new phases of their lives. Even if the outcome is less than they hope for, the experience will do them good, he said, noting that he had six jobs during the first seven years of his marriage.

"My philosophy has always been, try things," he said. "Every job you have ever had, you will learning something, something, along the way."

Carcieri also urged the students to take their mistakes in stride.

"Failures are just things to learn from and grab onto," he said.

Yesterday's commencement -- an event marking successes in the lives of the graduates and their families -- was full of stories of students who tried and succeeded while taking not-so-straight paths.

Julia Jones, who earned an associate's degree in liberal arts, was a mother and high school dropout by the age of 17. But even as marriage and more children came along, she didn't forget about her education. In 2000, she enrolled at CCRI.

"It means a lot, not so much for me but for my children," said Jones, 27, who lives in Providence. "It'll be a lot easier for them, because I have my degree now."

Vi Pham, 23, who moved to the United States from Vietnam three years ago, received her associate's degree in general studies, earning highest honors along the way. Technically a December 2002 graduate, she is now studying business administration at Bryant College and plans to work as a computer programmer.

The graduates are:
