What school do you attend?

How does it feel to be a Nativity grad?

I recently graduated class of 2024. It feels amazing through my years of high school I met a lot of new people who really have changed my mindset, I also learned a lot of new ways to be successful. I went through my up and downs through school but it’s normal we make mistakes it’s all about how you react to those mistakes.

Where do you work currently? What is the best thing about school?

Currently I went to a trade school to become an electrician, I got my class b journeyman’s license for electrical work and working for a big company in Boston. Going to a trade school did really work out a lot especially for people that didn’t want to do 4 years at a university or community college, if you really put your mind to it you can always making something happen, as I can say I’m only 18 years old who just got out of high school I’m making almost 6 figures a year.

What did Nativity mean to you when you went here? What does it mean to you now?

Nativity means a lot to me especially when I was there the 4 years that I attended at nativity really taught me how to carry my self as a man and a role model. I always thought when I was in class when are we gonna use this in the real world? Now the older me most of the stuff I learned in n=Nativity I use it till this day, the teachers and staff really change my mindset about the world and how I see things.

What is your favorite Nativity memory?

There’s some many memories I have from Nativity I can’t really pick one but, so in my opinion all the memories where my favorite just everything that happened over those 4 years my whole class had a very tight bond together. brotherhood is really a thing, till this day my classmates know if they ever need anything I’m always gonna be there no matter what it is.

What are your goals, dreams, and aspirations? Any accomplishments that you’d like to share?

My goal I want to impact the world I want to show the people that doubted me that I can actually do it. I want to travel the world with my family/friends, I just want to live life to it’s fullest.

What advice would you give to younger Nativity students?

Don’t rush into things. Life is a journey, and you don’t have to do everything at once. Do your assignments, do your projects, do your labs on time. Talk to your teachers, they are there to help you. Always make time for yourself. Self-care is the best thing and it will for sure help with your studies. Put yourself out there. It can be really scary but just don’t think, just go for it. Enjoy the experience. These four years go by really fast. Get involved. It’s how you can make lifelong friends. Study hard. Persist in all your studies and no matter what, keep going and focus on your goals. Don’t procrastinate because things can pile up really quickly. Don’t be afraid. You can graduate in however long it takes you to. Just give it a try. Take one step at a time and see where it leads you. Enjoy your time. Make sure you have a good life-study balance. Take care of yourself first and you’ll get through. Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared, it’s going to be a new journey. Enter this new journey with an open heart and mind, and just be ready to discover and be amazed. Be excited, be brave, be bold. Do not limit yourselves and your abilities. Select the program that you’re really interested in and make use of the faculty members. Socialize, make lots of friends. Get out of your comfort zone and be uncomfortable. Stay true to yourself. Honor your needs and interests.
