This is our first story: the experience of a MCI dorm student that came from Lawrence, MA to study. 

.

"When I was in middle school I didn't know where I would be going for high school, nor did I think I would be going anywhere, as not many people from Lawrence did. When I got the acceptance letter from Maine Central Institute in the mail, it felt surreal. I didn't feel like just another kid from my city anymore. I knew I had a lot ahead of me from that point on. I've been introduced to a new life, and one that I was not accustomed to. Everything is so different, culturally and aesthetically. Being at MCI has brought me a new set of challenges that I feel are necessary to tackle the world beyond a city or hometown, and I love it.”

"Hello, Humans of MCI!"

Hello everyone!

This is Humans of MCI!

We are a blog focused on interviewing citizens in our big community at Maine Central Institute.  This blog is created under the leadership of the Student Ambassador Club.

Every post is a unique story, just as unique as the individuals at MCI. The stories aren’t necessarily about our high school, but about a community member’s life experience. In our community, we believe that everybody is an open book who has a story to tell and this could be a good opportunity for you, readers, to get to know each of them.

Beginning this week, and updating every Wednesday, the Humans of MCI experience begins.

Sincerely yours,

The editor
