Meet MVR-III alum Samantha Fitzgerald, Class of 2013. 🎓
Samantha is a stay-at-home mom and is most proud of caring for her twin daughters.
Samantha says many of the teachers she had throughout her time at MVR-III helped her learn how to understand and work through difficult situations and solve problems. Those skills continue to serve her today as she manages the responsibilities of caring for her disabled daughters.
One of Samantha's favorite memories is being part of choir from her freshman year through her senior year. She loved being part of the class and the energy it brought to her day.
Her advice for current students: Put yourself out there. Don't be afraid to try something new, because that new thing could be the best thing you've ever done.

Meet MVR-III alum Rain Chumley, Class of 2018. 🎓
Rain currently works in pediatric dentistry in Union, Missouri. She holds a bachelor's degree in child development with a minor in psychology. She also has experience assisting with full-mouth rehabilitation procedures in the operating room while providing chairside support, patient care, and clinical assistance in a fast-paced office environment.
Rain says her experiences at MVR-III helped prepare her for her future by giving her opportunities to explore health occupations and learn about different career fields within healthcare. Through these experiences, she gained valuable knowledge, hands-on exposure, and a better understanding of her interests. Most importantly, MVR-III helped build her confidence and showed her that she was capable of pursuing and achieving the career goals she had always dreamed of.
One of Rain's favorite memories is being part of the Health Occupations class. She remembers Mrs. Hartman as an incredible teacher who made learning engaging and meaningful. Her support, encouragement, and passion for helping students succeed left a lasting impression on Rain and played an important role in shaping her interest in pursuing a career in healthcare.
Her advice for current students: Take advantage of every opportunity available to you, even if it feels outside of your comfort zone. Explore different career paths, ask questions, and don't be afraid to try new things. The experiences you gain now can help you discover passions you never knew you had. Most importantly, believe in yourself. Your goals and dreams are achievable with hard work, dedication, and confidence. You are capable of accomplishing more than you think.
