Michelle Williams of Berrien Springs and Samantha Gerard of Buchanan have been chosen as student speakers for Lake Michigan College’s 65th annual commencement exercises being held at the LMC Mendel Center, Benton Harbor, Michigan on Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 2 p.m.
Growing up in Brazil, then graduating from high school in Guyana in South America, Michelle Williams moved to New York City before she and her husband landed in SW Michigan. With two small children, Williams spent the last two years as a full-time student, mother, and employee working the nightshift as a nurse assistant unit clerk. Williams graduates with highest honors, receiving an Associate in Science degree. Her son Keegan, 23, is also graduating from LMC with her.
At LMC Williams participated in Phi Theta Kappa and Student Support Services. She spent 10 hours a week as a tutor in the LMC math lab, and also volunteered a half a day each Friday at the Domestic Violence Shelter for Child and Family Services.
Williams is on her way to fulfilling her dream of being a doctor in family medicine. In the fall she will be attending the University of Michigan to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in biochemistry. She plans to stay in Michigan to attend medical school.
Williams received the Richie and Karen Barnes Family Scholarship and the Winner’s Circle Scholarship and was an honoree on the Michigan All-Academic Team while at LMC.
The title of her speech is “Looking Back, Looking Forward, Reflections of a Graduate.”
