Where
are you from, Michelle?
I’m a New Yorker. I have lived various places within the
city and currently reside in the Bronx.

Tell
us something about your family?
I come from a great family. Both my parents were
hard working
individuals who provided my brother and myself a very comfortable,
loving, and supportive environment. My mother has been a teacher
for
25 years within New York City, and my father is a retired fiscal
analyst for the City of New York.

Why
did you decide to go to college?
College was never an option for my brother or myself.
Immediately after
high school I began school but became side tracked by my career and
left after my associates degree. However, I always knew I would return
to school and when I did, I selected The College of New Rochelle.

Why did you decide then to attend The
College of New Rochelle?
I’ve always heard great things about CNR, plus its
location is very convenient for me.

What is the most challenging part about
being a student today?
Oh, for me the challenging aspect is handling the
demands of time. With
so many things going on, it becomes difficult to fit everything in. CNR
makes it easy to attend college as they operate around my schedule and
SNR students have access to the library, computer room, and counselors.
The College recognizes that a 9-5 schedule is not feasible for everyone.

When
do you attend classes?
Oh, for me the challenging aspect is handling the
demands of time. With

SNR students have access to the library, computer room, and counselors.

Do you have any favorite teachers?
Oes, It has been wonderful to
take classes from Larene Sachez, Coordinator of Retention at the Co-op
City Campus. Larene manages to give the students something to look
forward to each week.

What
has surprised you the most about CNR?
I think the willingness of
the faculty and staff to help students, Also the campus atmosphere is
warm and friendly, and the College has special programs that are
available to help students if they need it. The College of New Rochelle
makes coming to school a pleasure, not a hassle.

When
do you expect to graduate?
In May 2005, I must admit that although I’m thrilled
that I have
achieved my goal of graduation I will miss my CNR family. When I leave
campus, I’ll have nothing but good memories of this school. However, I
plan to attend graduate school at CNR on the New Rochelle campus. I’m
looking forward to creating new memories.
