Mercy Career and Technical gave me a lot of experiences to find new friends and be myself. The best part is how easy and quick it was to make friends and talk to people. The worst part is how sometimes others really didn't like you even if you were yourself and wanted you to change. I just wish that they had a lot more to do for black history month they didn't really do anything for it.

My name is Maria Torelli. I'm a senior at Mercy and I absolutely love my school. Mercy is where my family is and is my second home. The teachers are like no other and go above and beyond for all there students no matter what. Also, my school is a trade school, so when I graduate I'll be a CNA. Therefore, at Mercy I have opportunities to go out in the workforce and pursue my dream one step at a time of eventually becoming an RN.

I was disapointed in what I saw after visiting. I was under the impression that the programs were more usable in todays world. Sorry but I will keep looking for a place to send my son next year!
