Improvements

Class of 2018, Sacramento State, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffApril 8, 2015

My biggest improvement was my grades. In high school I wasn’t good at taking tests and that affected my grades a lot. Since I’ve been in college I’ve done better on tests and have been able to get more one on one help from my professors and other on campus tutors. I’ve maintained my B…

The Beginning

Before I graduated high school I decided to work every now or then. My plan was to enjoy my vacations before college came along. Throughout summer, I worked for six days at the Golden Gate Fields where I got paid a good decent amount. With the money I received I bought a couple of things…

Ready for College

Class of 2018, Sacramento State, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

In order to prepare for college I’ve been working to save money towards financial aid. I have also been consulting with family members who have recently graduated from college and asking them about their experiences, how living on campus was, and any tips they had for me. I got really good advice such as how…

College Experience: First Few Weeks

Class of 2016, Sacramento State, Student Success StoriesBy EdFund StaffDecember 4, 2012

My first few weeks of school were amazing; it was nothing like high school. I met a lot of people. They even had events where we can interact with other students. I did not realize how independent you are supposed to be until I actually started school. It’s like you really have to do things…
