Class of 2023
1. My time at Mott Middle College was incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed my class and gained valuable insights into college life before transferring to Howard University in Washingotn, D.C. Despite attending Mott Middle College during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was still an unforgettable experience. I still think about the steel drums to this day.
2. I graduated MMC in 2023 (wow, I’m getting old), but I’m currently in my final year at Howard University. I’m involved in several clubs, including the Real Estate and Wealth Management Academy. I also served as a team leader for the School of Business and was a member of the Honors Program, which granted me the opportunity to go abroad for free.
I also have a couple internships under my belt. This summer, I’m interning at DaVita as a Redwood Analyst. "The Redwoods Leadership Development Program provides unparalleled development experience, mentorship by senior management, and training that will empower my development into a great leader." https://redwoods.davita.com/
3. If I could travel back in time, I would tell my younger self to prioritize more than just grades. I would say make an effort to stand out and explore various hobbies and passions. And additionally, maintain your grades and avoid falling behind, as it becomes increasingly challenging to catch up.
