Imoved around 6 times during my 2 yearsat Chaffey College and had nowhere tolive at times which made my life stressful. It was difficult for me to focus onmy studies a lot of the time because Iwas not sure what the future held for myliving situation. I am most proud that I made it and did not give upeven when times were the most difficult. I’m proud that I can lookback and say that I have accomplished something real here. I reallydo believe that Chaffey College has helped me grow as a person.I transferred to UC Davis in the fall of 2014. I am a political sciencemajor, hoping to concentrate in International Relations. I plan toobtain a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science. I would ultimatelylike to be a Lawyer or work for a non-profit such as the AmericanCivil Liberties Union (ACLU).Resources like EOPS and several awesome people ultimately helpedme get through Chaffey. The mandated counseling appointmentsdefinitely helped me understand some of the things I needed to doto stay on track and transfer. I also had several great people whohelped me get through the panic attacks.
