Lessons Learned

Class of 2015, Contra Costa College, Student Success StoriesBy Jasmine JonesMay 27, 2014

My first year of college has been empowering and invigorating. As a college freshman I can say that the most important thing I learned in my fist year was to maintain diligence. As a student there were many times in which I did not feel like doing my assignments; I had to learn how to…

So Far…

Class of 2015, Diablo Valley College, Student Success StoriesBy Jasmine JonesDecember 10, 2013

So far my college year has been very calm. I’m not as stressed out as many of my peers partially because of the fact that I didn’t choose many of the harder classes like chemistry, calculus or physics. I did this because I wanted to ease into the college life so I will be used…

The Wonders of College

Class of 2015, Contra Costa College, Student Success StoriesBy Jasmine JonesDecember 2, 2013

The transition from high school to college is an exciting experience. Enrolling into a community college is empowering—I feel like I am taking control of my life. I thank the Ed Fund and its donors for the wonderful scholarship I have received. So far I’ve used the money to pay for books and a few…

College Isn’t So Bad After All…

Class of 2015, Contra Costa College, Student Success StoriesBy Jasmine JonesSeptember 9, 2013

My first few weeks of school have been amazing! I love college already. My classes are interesting, and my teachers are laid back. I am taking English, psychology, U.S. History, and philosophy. My English teacher gives us a lot of work, and we have already done four essays. My psychology teacher is young and full…

Lessons Learned from the First Semester

Class of 2015, San Francisco State, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffFebruary 2, 2012

My first semester in San Francisco State was intense and a life-changing experience. Because of it, I have a different view about college and life. This semester I faced adversity, but I never gave up because I knew that if I did, I would not make it through college. Calculus was a challenging subject; there…

Reflecting on My First Semester at Cal

Class of 2015, Student Success Stories, UC BerkeleyBy EdFund StaffJanuary 31, 2012

I knew that I had not been challenged enough in high school and that transitioning into college would be hard. Classes at the university level require much more time, effort, and tutoring. Back in high school I hardly ever needed help with my homework and I never had trouble with learning the material taught in…

First Semester at Sonoma State

Class of 2015, Sonoma State, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffJanuary 25, 2012

Being the first in my family to attend a four year university was a challenge not only academically, but also mentally and emotionally. Something that I enjoyed about my first semester in Sonoma State University was meeting new people. I am a very outgoing and outspoken person so getting to know a lot of people…

College Life in Berkeley

Berkeley City College, Class of 2015, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffJanuary 20, 2012

My first few months’ part of the long journey I will have of my college life was unimaginably easy actually. I didn’t think it was going to be anything like that, I was very lucky though. I know it will get harder for my next semester because I took the easy way out for my…

What I Like About Santa Cruz

Class of 2015, Student Success Stories, UC Santa CruzBy EdFund StaffJanuary 20, 2012

I liked the community UC Santa Cruz has. It’s not just one big campus; it’s split into lots of colleges. For example, I had a lecture with my whole college and it’s pretty cool doing homework with your building and going to class with your new friends. I loved how it was really hot the…

My First Quarter at Cal Poly

Cal Poly, Class of 2015, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffJanuary 12, 2012

My first quarter at Cal Poly was more difficult than I have imagined. Giving adequate time for every class was a challenge. Sometimes when I focus on a specific class too much, I paid less attention to other classes. I also realized that some classes needed more attention than others. The biggest cause for this…
