CC was the best descision I ever made.
I went into CC after a difficult highschool experience due to health issues. I started bugrudgingly, and went through the motions. When I started getting involved on campus, I realized that CC has something to offer that four years don't. Your classes will be small and intimite, especially in an honros prorgam. CCs, especially in California, have an abundance of opportuites and resources, but few studets who take the time to acess them. If you are starting CC in the fall, go ALL IN and you will have one of the most rewarding experiencies of your life.
I am graduating CC with two internships under my belt, connections in my field, and also connections at my transfer school. I have an accepted academic publication in the works, and am recieving a prestigious award at my college. I got into every UC I applied to WITH regents and chancellors at many.
This is not to brag, I am not a perticularly gifted student. This is to say that if you take advantage of everything your CC has to offer, go to your professor's office hours, apply for on campus opportunities, etc., you WILL find success. Professors are dying for meaningful connections with students: most go to class and leave.
CC has changed my life forever, and I truly believe will be the single most importat choice I made in my academic and professional career.
