Student Quotes

“This class has helped me a lot because I learned that everything is gained by hard work. I also learned about myself and where I am in life. It also helped me see what kind of money I would need in order to live the lifestyle I want to live.”
~Gerardo, Indio High School

“Freshman Seminar has helped me in many ways. This class has given me an opportunity to see how my future life might be, and what I need to do to accomplish what I want. This class has also opened my eyes to know what career I want and not end up somewhere I don’t want to be or do.”
~Alejandra, Indio High School

“Freshman Seminar isn’t like other classes. It doesn’t teach us fancy equations, grammar, or any scientific formulas… it teaches us about LIFE. Before I came to this class, I can truthfully say that I had no idea what I was going to do with my life. I knew I was going to graduate high school and get a four-year degree at a UC college. But after that … NOTHING. This class has already taught me so much about myself, and I’m learning more every day. I don’t know what I would’ve done if it wasn’t for this class, so thank you.”
~Kristina, Carpinteria High School

“[Freshman Seminar] made me think that I could be somebody in life. When I was in middle school, I never wanted to go to college; I always thought it was a waste of time. But no, it is very important, and this class is not boring at all. I learn lots of things about life and it has changed me and I’m proud of that.”
~Jarrod, Indio High School
