We're proud of MERCY YALARTAI.....Daedream alumn and production consultant, who is currently a transferring college student at The University of Connecticut on the STORRS CAMPUS!!! So very proud of her achievements. A credit to the NHPS teachers, community, and of course, to her Daedream Team! Great work!
Mercy is a graduate of Mauro-Sheridan Interdistrict Magnet School, Metropolitan Business Academy in New Haven, and a transfer student from Sacred Heart University. She plans to study abroad within the next two years, and to join the Peace Corps upon graduating from UCONN before pursuing a career in International Law/Journalism.
Mercy has been a participant and mentor in the Daedream program since the Fall of 2009. Each year, she returns on college breaks and during our production season to assist with programming for the youth involved.
Last year, Mercy was stage prompter and tech advisor for the production, "A Year in A Life." Prior to this, she was a mentor and student support person for the program.
We all wish her the best of luck and success with her new endeavors and hope to see her back for our upcoming performance, "The Reel Stuff," slated for early June 2016.
Of Daedream's role in her life, she says, "Daedream has been the greatest support system for me throughout my entire academic career. It is a place that I can seek for shelter and a sense of home, when the world I face is no longer familiar to me. It has made stronger as a person and has helped me grow. Whenever I am in need, whatever the situation may be, Mrs. F has been there for me in every capacity and I am thankful to her and this great program."
We'll keep you up to date on Mercy's successes as she continues her academic career at UCONN. Go Huskies!
