During her time as a student, Mozelle Kempiak, of Marseilles, earned a reputation as a compassionate competitor as the Waubonsee Women’s Basketball Team Captain leading the team to a 2017-2018 Illinois Skyway Collegiate Conference (ISCC) Co-Champion Conference Title her sophomore year. 

 When I think back to where I was just four years ago, I was a young homeschooler about to graduate and uncertain about whether to attend college or not. I was so nervous about starting my higher education because I was the first member of my family to go to college. 

My name is Priscila Vargas, Waubonsee Student Trustee. I am currently into my second semester working on my Associate of Science with a concentration in Nursing. I would first like to thank everyone who voted for me to become the 2021-2022 Student Trustee. My goal is to make everyone at Waubonsee proud of what we will accomplish together this upcoming academic year.  

My initial purpose of going to Waubonsee was completely financial. Although I had saved birthday and Christmas money since I was old enough to know what college was, it wasn’t going to be enough. It was my responsibility to pay for college--and college was expensive.

Those once ideals and beliefs now disturb me, because I was blinded by the reality.
