acquired a new perspective on service-learning‚ viewing it as more than just a requirement for a course. Four semesters have taught me the imperative nature and necessity of service learning for academic and personal growth. What I enjoyed most from my service-learning was how every semester builds upon previous experiences‚ thus‚ creating a firmly grounded foundation in service for years to come. For the Spring 2016 semester‚ I set out to perform my service-learning assignment at the agency Better

To me her experience wasn’t as exciting as if she were there‚ but pretty normal for someone who was having a typical day.

Unfortunately she doesn’t remember what radio station it was. At first my mom thought that they were doing a joke on

The single most impactful experience in my life is attending Ventura Community College. Nothing has hurt me more. In high school I had taken AP and IB classes and had finished within the top ten percent of my class but I had no idea what I wanted to do. I applied to some schools that I considered to be mediocre so that I could continue swimming‚ but as the application deadlines ended and most of my friends were being accepted to places such as UCLA‚ UCSB‚ and even Harvard‚ I had realized that I
