I come from a low-income family that had no interest in sending me to school. They doubted my academic abilities and believed it was far too difficult to succeed in college because of my financial situation. I have proven them wrong; most importantly, I have proven to myself that I can achieve whatever I set my mind to. Rio Hondo College has given me a great foundation as a student and as a human being. It has open doors for me and I feel optimistic about my future thanks to the education I am receiving. It has served as a starting point in my quest to achieve my dream.
I am currently a tax accountant at HCVT working with variety of domestic and international business entities. My academic journey started at Rio Hondo College in 2013, obtained my B.S. in Business Administration – Accounting at Cal Poly Pomona in 2017, and obtained my M.A. in Professional Accountancy at UC Irvine in 2019. I am fortunate to have been a part of accounting program at Rio Hondo College. It enabled me to have an enjoyable college experiences and a strong foundation in business and accounting. It has always been absolutely an amazing experience from the professors that I have met, friends and classmates that I have made, and supportive staffs and academic counselors that I have reached out for help. I could not have asked for a better experience here at Rio Hondo College.
Rio Hondo College changed my life for the better. My time at Rio Hondo began in the fall of 2018, right after I had finished one year at CSULA. I decided to transfer to Rio Hondo after speaking to a mentor who informed me about the community college route and how, if done right, can be a second opportunity for students to receive admission to their dream schools.
My name is Samantha Rajsavong and I am currently a 4th year Accounting student at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona or CPP). I graduated from Rio Hondo College (RHC) in Spring 2019 with an Associate in Science in Business Administration for Transfer Degree prior to transferring to Cal Poly Pomona. My experience at Rio Hondo College was such a pivotal moment in my life, and I am the successful woman I am today because of the education I received at RHC.
