Monterey

My passion for learning is relentless; there are many topics I have yet to explore, discover, and master. As an employee of California State University, Monterey Bay my objective is to engage the students in a way that stems success in their chosen fields. Today’s job market is rigorous and many graduates are often left unemployed or underemployed. My desire to pursue the Instructional Science and Technology master 's program will help me create a stronger work environment for any students who may pass through my doors. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biological Sciences from University of California, Santa Barbara. I strongly believe education is the key to developing the future and by adopting new teaching practices to help advance the…

Monterey County has many aquifers to provide fresh, clean water, 80% of this is groundwater (Public Services, 2010). More groundwater pumping leads to localized over-drafting which in turn causes saltwater intrusion into any of its six water basins: Parajo Valley, Prunedale, Salinas Valley, Marina Fort Ord, Carmel, or El Toro (Public Services, 2010). Arguably the most important basin is the Salinas Valley because it is home to the Salinas River which not only supplies water for the surrounding…

We didn't live in a house nor an apartment, but we did live in my aunt's living room for about eight months or so. It was really uncomfortable because when they had people over I felt their judgmental eyes on us while we were barely waking up. I look back to those days and reflect on how life was and that's when it hits me. In order for me not to end up like that again, getting an education was the only way for me to not go back to those terrifying moments. As a matter of fact, after high…

Good morning, i am here to tell you a story of what happened. I went to the Monterey Bay Carnival and participated in a raffle with my friends that had a cash reward. I got anxious when the announcer was about to call out the winner. Apparently, to my surprise, I WON! I actually won. I could not believe my eyes. I went up to the podium to receive my cash prize. The announcer said I had to give half the money to a charity or a good cause. On the bright side, I did get to keep the other half of…

It all begins in Monterey Bay California, where author Johnathan Steinbeck and a close friend by the name of Ed Ricketts seek out boat and crew for a Marine Science expedition. Fishing out of Monterey bay is no strange occurrence, but Steinbeck’s and Ricketts voyage was quite different from all the other boating operations in the area. They were planning on sailing into the Sea of Cortez between the boarder of Mexico, and Baja California. This territory at the time was still being explored and…

Steinhart aquarium and the Monterey Bay Aquarium had very different approaches in presenting marine life to the public. The Steinhart aquarium often had open aquariums where visitors had to look down to see the marine life, while the Monterey Bay Aquarium more notably has large closed tanks in a dimly lit setting. I think the Steinhart aquarium seen at the California Academy of Sciences shows marine life as more apart of humanity because there is a lack of separation between the marine life and…

never had I felt more fulfilled then when listening to psychedelic rock. I spend most of my free time listening to albums by the artists I will be discussing in this essay. I’m going to first talk about Jimi Hendrix who is one of my personal favorites. Jimi Hendrix was regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in history. He has said that his acid “trips” influenced his ideas for his music, often basing them off of past experiences. He was a wonderful guitarist, and very…

I have made it into the Central Coast Section Honor Choir group for seven years (6-12th grade) and the band for six years (7-12th grade).

I played at the Monterey Jazz Festival Middle School Honor Band from 7th to 8th grade and the High School Jazz Band from 9th-12th grade. I was in the Monterey Jazz Festival Honor Vocal Ensemble as a 9th grader as well and will be…
