As an English Liberal Arts study major I take a lot of interest in finding ways to become better at my goals. At Citrus I'm not only receiving a great education, I'm being challenged and brought to my greatest potential. I will always rate Citrus at a high number, for their dedicated work to help and teach students. I didn't always have the best education growing up; when I got to Citrus I didn't feel very smart being along side the other students. They allowed me to keep a slow pace for my understanding and did not judge me. to me that was the best Citrus could ever offer me as i continue to grow with my goals at becoming a better learner.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I enjoy every moment at Citrus, for they have campus clubs that allow the students and faculty members to come together as one. One of the clubs I'm involved in is Foster 2 Famous; A resource club for students who were in foster care. The club has helped me to maintain in school as a former foster youth with support and lots of motivation. Also by being involved in the clubs I have been able to obtain a better image of the faculty members and gain support when needed. Growing up I never imagined I would be in college from all the moving that happened while being in foster care. To be social was not something I would consider for me as a child. With the help of the clubs I am continuously learning how to be more social and happy with my friends and teachers.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
As all schools costs is a factor in obtaining your education. With the recent rise in the school funds it has made earning money or retaining money that much more hard. I was a little disheartened by the raise, but I refused to let that effect me in continuing to go to school or complain. I did not choose to go to school to earn financial aid, I went to school for my education. No I don't always get the funds I need but I'm okay. All my needs for school are met, for I feel as long as I can sit in a classroom and receive a great education then I am great. My education is free to me even if I have to pay the knowledge I receive can never really have a price, for it will stay with me forever.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
The best tip I can say for prospective students is come with an attitude for higher learning. Not only will it help you that to stay grounded and focused, but it will give your teachers the motivation to teach you at their best as well. What I have learned while going to college is teachers need motivation just like we do. They want to know that we need them to teach us the knowledge that they have. When having a readiness to learn I realize that my teachers teach more better and are happier with the outcome of their students. For the people that make the decision for higher education I feel its the best thing they can do for themselves, because it says that they want and have a desire for more.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Citrus is great for all types of students, for what they offer says it all. They offer free tutoring to help in the areas that need a little more support for more understanding. When having to ask questions there are no judging remarks. No questions are viewed as too dumb or not being smart enough. Filling out the admission paper work to go to school says to you that you want more in life, and to the faculty members to get ready for a future someone. Every class I take I often wonder who am I Sitting next to. I feel students should take every opportunity to learn who everyone is and be optimistic about life.
