Why NCMC: The number 23 holds special significance in my family, as it represents both my grandfather's birthday on October 23rd and the date of his passing on February 23rd. When I visited North Central Michigan College, I frequently saw the number 23, which felt like a sign from my grandfather encouraging me to choose this school for my first two years.
