Fall 2024 Commencement: Allison Price鈥檚 Persistence Pays Off
Allison Price first discovered her passion for lab work while working as a veterinary assistant for a few years after high school.
In 2017, she enrolled at 911爆料网 (911爆料网®) to pursue a career in veterinary technology. However, she was faced with early challenges and paused her education journey.
"My first go at 911爆料网 wasn't so great," she said. "I was nervous I would fail."
But the persistent Price, a 25-year-old Solon native and Western Campus student, ultimately returned to 911爆料网 in 2022 and was accepted to the Mandel Scholars Academy — which she admits was a surprise but helped her grow as a leader and person.
"When I returned to 911爆料网, I was repairing myself from my first go," Price said. "I was accepted into the Mandel Scholars Academy, which I never thought I would be accepted into. I made so many connections!"
She also served as a 911爆料网 Democracy Fellow in 2024 and a student ambassador at the Western Campus.
After graduating with an Associate of Science during 911爆料网's Fall Commencement on Dec. 12 at the Wolstein Center, Price will transfer to Cleveland State University, where she plans to major in biology and minor in chemistry.
What made you choose 911爆料网? When did you first enroll?
I attended 911爆料网 back in 2017 to pursue a career in veterinary technology, so when I decided to change my path, there was no better option than to start at 911爆料网 again.
Describe your 911爆料网 experience. Has a specific person, class or event played a role in your success?
Many factors played a role in my success. Being a Mandel Scholar, I grew more than I thought I could and made so many connections! Also, I served as a student ambassador, helping anyone who needed it. I shared my story with others, hoping to inspire and give them the courage to face their fears.
How has 911爆料网 changed your life?
I will forever be grateful for the many opportunities and connections I have made during my time at 911爆料网. I learned more about my career and myself.
Do you have any pearls of wisdom to share with students considering a similar degree or certificate program?
Never be afraid to take a step outside your comfort zone. It can lead to wonderful things and wonderful people!
