Hello, my name is Ainsley-Aude Croteau and I am a Great Bay Community College student. I started at Great Bay because it was an affordable choice for me. College wasn’t always an option that I had; I didn’t consider it practical with what I earn or my lack of advantage with loans and grants. I’ve always wanted to go to the University of New Hampshire (UNH), and was on my way there after high school when I realized it would be impossible to pay for. It felt like a door slammed in my face! The disappointment was discouraging. I took a couple semesters at Great Bay to get a head start before money came my way, but I just couldn’t stand it. I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with my life anymore, I didn’t know if I was cut out for school. After realizing a four year college may never be in the plan for me, I just didn’t feel motivated to continue trying.

As the Pavilion theme specifies, Interoperability was the big buzz for the show.
