Yareth graduated high school in 2020 and decided to continue her education at MCC because doing so provided her with greater financial security and she was already familiar with the College. During her time at MCC, Yareth was involved in TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) and was a member of Phi Theta Kappa (PTK). In TRIO SSS, Yareth found mentors that helped guide her on the path to success and vividly remembers how encouraging everyone was, recalling a time when she announced that she had passed an important exam in one of her classes and everyone in TRIO SSS shared in her excitement! Outside of student organizations, Yareth loved visiting the library and other cozy places on campus to study.

Yareth graduated from MCC with her Associate of Arts and a Field of Study Certificate in social work. She continued her education at Tarleton State University, where she graduated from this May with her Bachelor of Social Work, with summa cum laude honors. Yareth is returning to Tarleton State to earn her Master of Social Work and will return to the College this fall as an intern in the CREW (Campus Resources Education Web) office!

“I advise current students to really embrace what the MCC campus offers you. There are so many helpful resources that are at your disposal so please take advantage of them! Additionally, as college students, it is super easy to feel frustrated and overwhelmed, but always remember that your mental and physical health is a priority. Do not feel guilty for taking some time for yourself to decompress and having a self-care day! You are a human before you are a student!”
