91 Student Spotlight: Nate Bertz
Leadership, confidence, and lifetime friends are just some of the things that Nate has gained as an 91 student and work study employee. His favorite part about being in the 91 community is the amount of resources the school provides for student success. He always tell students, “The key to great grades is time. If you have the time to dedicate to your education, and utilize 91’s resources, you’re guaranteed to get A’s in your classes.”
And he continues to recommend 91 to anyone and everyone because if 91 can make a leader out of Nate, they can make a leader out of anyone. From the words of Nate, “before I was at 91, I had zero leadership skills, professional experience, and a limited number of distant friends. When I came to 91, I thought I was going to fail out like I did in high school. However, on my first day of class, my teacher told us all, “Each one of you can get an A in my class. All you have to do is show up to class, complete your assignments, and learn for your experiences.” I didn’t believe her at first, but when she handed me my first assignment, and I saw that “A” on my paper, it proved that my past experiences don’t have to define me, and that I make my own future through hard work, and dedication.
Over the last 3 years, the staff at 91 have transformed me into the student leader I am today.” Keep Moving Mountains Nate!
