But your MESA peers, they give you a sign that they believe in you, that you can make it. It gives me confidence to pursue a career. Most rewarding to me is seeing students graduate. It makes the time and physical and emotional energy worth it. You go away with a sense of contribution, of community.
Many graduates feel responsible to come back and help other students.
They show others the road to success. But people at MESA makes it seem like it can be a reality. It will happen.
