University of California

going to fly by. Next thing you know I began to receive acceptance letters as well as rejection letters from colleges I had applied to. Out of nine colleges I applied to I was debating between four: UC Riverside, Fresno State, San Francisco State University and West Hills Community College. Thinking about where I wanted to go was very overwhelming and stressful. I was only seventeen going on eighteen and I had to start thinking about what I wanted to do with my life, it felts as if I was running…

Since my freshman year of high school, my passion for agriculture has flourished. I did not come from an agricultural background as my parents worked for the State and Amtrak, but I was intrigued about California’s leading industry. Up until my freshman year in high school, the closest I had gotten to agriculture was when I would grow a garden of vegetables during the spring for fresh produce.

The human resource frame centers on the relationship between people and organizations, the fit…

questions that I struggle to answer throughout my four years in seminary. As a pastor’s child without a direction and purpose, I was pushed into attending Fuller Theological Seminary right after I finished my undergraduate degree at the University of California, San Diego at the age of 21. I was hired as a junior high pastor a week after I was accepted into the seminary at a Korean American church located in Fullerton where the senior pastor…

All things considered, we took out loans for San Diego State University, which resulted in failure and debt. Consequently, I came home, started part time work, and within a few years had a family. I changed jobs a few times before finally realizing that “It was the ideal of ‘book learning’; the curiosity born of compulsory…

moments. As a matter of fact, after high school my plan is to go to CSU Monterey Bay or UC Sacramento and major in psychology so that I could come back to Salinas and help out the community.

The time for a better generation is here, the students who live here in Salinas have come to realize that we need to work hard…

What’s An American Dream for Immigrants Undocumented immigrants come from different parts of the world not just Mexico. The ones that are mostly judged for coming to America to find and live the American Dream are the Latinos.
