Ms. Glenda Barrios from NCC came to the middle school to talk with Ms. Nilson's 7th and 8th graders about her journey in life.
She talked about coming over to the United States, learning English, and how she got to where she is today. She talked about how important it is for students to strive to do their best and that anything is possible if they set her mind to it. She talked about how she helps adults get enrolled in English classes, helps those who are working towards their GED or HiSET, and helps people who want to get into the workforce.
Students gained a lot of knowledge about NCC, as well and what the college has to offer.
