I am from Mexico and I am a mother of two children. I had to postpone my schooling due to family issues, but I pushed through these obstacles to achieve my goals. I was able to finish both the ESL Academic Success Program and the High School Diploma Program at NOCE! I am excited to continue my education at a credit college. Viviana Mondragon
