Pomona

team for Mexico during his last two years in college. The follow up question of the interview was, when and why did you decide to move to the US? Since he was born in California, the transition was legally easy. He was 25 at the time. He stayed in Pomona with family friends for about four years, hoping to earn enough money to buy a home to bring his fiancé (future wife) to. Even though, he had earned a bachelors in Agriculture Engineering, he felt that raising a family in the US would be far…

Whether we want to admit it or not, education is the root of life. Everything we say and do involves some sort of education. Education does not discriminate anyone for their abilities nor their disabilities, but it is accepting of all types of learners. Since this is true, why must people look down upon those with different learning styles than them, specifically the learners with exceptionalities? Children with learning exceptionalities deserve better treatment in our society. Sometimes, they…

and wake up from this nightmare that had such a weird beginning and that seemed would never end. After thinking about it, I finally clicked on one of the articles I found out what my dad had done that landed him in prison. The article was titled “Pomona man arrested after seeing the ‘devil’ in eyes of Ontario police officer”. And it talked about how my dad had “attempted murder” against an officer and his K9. After reading this I knew this made me feel even worse but with some weight lifted off…

The poor status of our nation’s education system today persists us to reminisce upon a time in our country where changes in our inner city schools happened after minority voices were heard. On March 1968, after having enough of their inadequate school environments, the young Chicanos of East LA organized a mass high school walkout. These individuals were revolutionaries during a time their voices were ignored; they were forced to remain victims of a discriminatory school system unashamed in…

Reality Imagine waking up at five o’clock every morning to drive from one city to another. Dealing with the morning traffic just to be on time for that 8:00 a.m. class. Many college students choose to commute however, it is just an inconvenience as it is far away from school. An alternative path other college students take is getting themselves an apartment of their own nearby campus. Getting an apartment enhances the college experience for many reasons. The location of an on-campus…

So you want to know about me? That is great; I am my own favorite subject. While I have never been one to dwell on my own past (why bother, the future is forward not back) I will do it this one time. First though we must get the preliminaries out of the way. We are all here for the class “Introduction to Multiculturalism” you as a teacher and I as a student. I am a student here first and foremost because it was an economy of choices. I needed to check off three boxes on my graduation report…

brothers and a sister, he soon began to understand everything had to be done by his own hands. No attention from either of his family members caused depression and interest in danger and pain.

Within his high school years everything was a hustle, family, education, work, he though he couldn’t handle…

Going from a rocket scientist to a high school math and engineering teacher might seem like a downgrade for most, but for Tammy Kuipers, it was one of the most fulfilling choices she has ever made. Sure the pay isn’t great and you inevitably run into a few problematic kids, but like most teachers, she gets a sort of supernatural satisfaction from helping awkward children along in their development. I had the pleasure of taking calculus and statistics from her during my high school career, and…

College education is the great equalizer among all people as it allows people to fully realize their potential and see opportunity. Education also allows a greater appreciation for people and cultures. The lower class has the opportunity to rise up into the middle class and consequently the middle could rise up to the wealthy. Seen from the view of foreign countries, the United States is a country with quality education and families are willing to make the sacrifices to send their children…
