“I’m the first in my family to go to college, so it was a new experience for all of us, figuring out the best fit and how to pay for it. Receiving financial aid is the only way I can afford to attend. I know I’ll never forget the day I get to walk across the Mitchell stage at graduation, commemorating my accomplishments in front of my family and friends!”

“I can’t wait to use what I’ve learned at Mitchell and apply it to mentoring young adults in my community, especially through expressive arts.”
