My College Decision! Janaa Smith ’22

“Next year, I will be attending Lincoln University to study Political Science. I chose Lincoln because of its great legacy as the first degree-granting, historically black university in the nation and its notable alumni such as Thurgood Marshall and Langston Hughes. After undergrad, I will attend law school to receive my law degree. I am interested in a criminal law prosecution career. Throughout high school, Mercy has bettered my leadership and public speaking skills through my class choices and the extracurriculars in which I participated. These abilities will allow me to continue being an outspoken advocate in my future college and career endeavors. In addition, the relationships with my teachers and classmates I have made at Mercy will last me a lifetime!”
