Class of 2019
My time at Mott Middle College was both fun and incredibly rewarding. It was a place where I grew academically, personally, and professionally. The program gave me many opportunities to challenge myself, explore my interests, and prepare for my future. I am especially grateful for the teachers and staff who believed in me every step of the way. They constantly pushed me outside of my comfort zone and reminded me that I was capable of achieving more than I sometimes believed. Looking back, one of the most valuable lessons I learned was the importance of taking advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. Whether it was participating in student activities, asking questions in class, or seeking extra support when I needed it, I learned that growth happens when you are willing to ask for help, stay committed, and embrace new challenges.
Since graduating from Mott Middle College, I have continued to pursue my educational and professional goals. I earned my bachelor's degree in Psychology: Behavioral Science from Western Michigan University. After completing my undergraduate degree, I continued my education and recently graduated with my master's degree in Education with a concentration in Applied Behavior Analysis. I am currently working as behavior technician at an autism clinic. I am now also studying for the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) exam, which is the next important step in my career. I am excited to continue growing as a professional and making a positive impact on the lives of the individuals and families I serve.
My advice to current students is to make the most of every opportunity that Mott Middle College offers. Challenge yourself, stay curious, and don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. The experiences you have now can open doors you may not even realize are possible. If you ever feel overwhelmed or uncertain, remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Your teachers, advisors, and classmates are there to support you because they want to see you succeed. Stay focused on your goals, believe in your abilities, and trust the process.
Best,
Noelia Perez
