Our Graduates

Joyce Fernandez
I started Mercy Education Project in November, 1998. My personal view of M.E.P has come from a variety of experiences. When I first started the program, I was more or less in a shell. My confidence level was low. I felt I couldn't achieve in many things. From the moment I made the decision to commit to M.E.P., my life changed for the better.

Mercy Education Project gave me a wonderful teacher, Mrs. Ruth. She went out of her way to help me and others succeed, providing we gave her our time. Mrs. Ruth has been one big blessing in my life. I took my G.E.D test in June, 2000 and passed four subjects out of five. Mrs. Ruth gave me the education, confidence, support, and desire to use in reaching 95% of my goal. Since that time, three years ago, I have passed the final test I needed to complete my G.E.D. The team at Mercy Education Project has given me their time, encouragement, love, and support. I feel like a new and improved women.

I am now attending classes at Wayne County Community College, where I have a 3.33 grade average. I am learning and striving to complete my goal. With continuing support from my family and my determination, I plan to graduate with my Associate's Degree, and then go on to get my Bachelor's Degree. I plan to be a social worker and work with children.
