Jackie Reyes is North Platte Community College’s Business Student of the Month for January.
Reyes is originally from Jaripo, a small town in the Mexican state of Michoacán. She graduated from Lexington High School in Lexington, Neb. in 2019 and is currently taking classes at NPCC to become an administrative assistant.
“I moved to Nebraska around five years ago from México, and going to college was a hard decision for me,” Reyes said. “On the first day, I knew I had made the right decision, everyone was friendly and helpful. At NPCC, I can be myself. I had the luck to get the best roommates ever. Staff and faculty are always offering help and resources if I’m having troubles with my education or personal life. If I had to choose a college all over again, it would definitely be NPCC.”
