Michelle St. Germain

 

Michelle St. Germain wants to help as many people as possible by becoming a social worker; “I want to specifically deal with senior citizens, but at any time I would like to be able to help others as well.”

Not only does Michelle want to help, but she wants to learn too; “Knowledge is essential in life whether it pertains to a career or just everyday life”.  She feels that knowing will make her a more successful, well-rounded person.

The more Michelle learns, the more successful she will become.  So, as a student of Western Connecticut State University, she studies a lot of different things. “Classes like communications, counseling, and contemporary social issues are so detailed that you learn not only about others but about yourself too.  You gain a lot of different perspectives about life.”

As a two-time recipient of the Employee Scholarship of Heritage Village, Michelle can continue to further her goals of education and public service.  Upon graduating in 2011, Michelle will take her knowledge and use it to help others.
