In the Spotlight

2010 Prom Dreams Recipients Back for the Holiday Break

Wow, it was great seeing everyone again. Charmaine Campbell, Patty Gonzalez, Breanna Wells, Rosa Hernandez, Velma, Ray, and I all met at Chili's restaurant in Los Angeles for a quick bite to eat. We were able to hear about the girls' college experiences. They shared many stories and quotes that they wanted to pass on to other young ladies, such as...

  • Work hard and believe in yourself ...
  • You are just as capable as the next student ...
  • Take advantage of all the resources available to you (writing lab, Extended Opportunity Program and Services and advisors) ...
  • Get to know your instructor and visit your instructor during office hours for additional help...
  • Do not be afraid to ask questions, if you don't understand something ...
  • Be yourself and maintain a balance with school and friends ... Stay focused!
