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.

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.
