A Future Ecofriendly Veterinarian

Class of 2019, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffJuly 20, 2016

I came into UC Davis with a fixed mind of pursuing a career in environmental science. I dislike walking through my community and seeing empty areas of soil that could be more aesthetic and beneficial for the people. I dislike visiting other communities; comparing them to Richmond and asking myself, “Why can’t Richmond be like…

Third quarter

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffJune 25, 2015

This school year my experiences taught me several things. I did not do so well in my first two quarters but I improved greatly on my third quarter in college which I am so proud of. I worked so hard in all of my classes and I learned that I should stop comparing myself to…

The end of my second quater

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffJune 25, 2015

My second quarter in college was definitely the hardest one considering that I took Calculus. I took the math placement test and I placed into it so I figured that I would be able to keep up with the class. But I was wrong and I Wish I would have taken more lower division math…

Me Time, Difficult classes and History

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffFebruary 10, 2015

My first quarter at UC Davis was a bit of a struggle. One of my classes was pretty hard since we were doing entirely new and different things like synthesizing theories and then using your synthesized theory to come up with a new theory. That was an entirely different concept for me and I struggled…

What I Expect This Quarter From Me

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffJanuary 9, 2015

Last quarter did not go exactly as I expected. The reason given is because I knew that I was going into a higher level of education. Though throughout the quarter I realize how poorly my teachers from high school taught me. I had to put in twice as much effort as my fellow peers in…

My First Weeks of College

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffNovember 24, 2014

College life started out wonderfully. I moved into my residence hall and just walked into my floor mates rooms’ to make friends. Being unknown gave me a courage to go up and ask people who they are and what they want out of life. I formed a friendship with my roommates and floor mates in…

Proud to be an Aggie

Class of 2017, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy Jasmine JonesDecember 10, 2013

Choosing what college to attend was very hard for me. I had gotten accepted to many colleges, but I wanted something close to home. My plans were to live at home and stay close, so that my family and I can always have each other. Unfortunately during the last months of my senior year I…

First Part of the Race Completed

Class of 2016, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffJuly 1, 2013

Throughout my first year of college, I learned several lessons. I would have to say that the most important lessons were the academic ones. The difference in the difficulty level from high school to college is quite noticeable, especially when transitioning into the fast-paced quarter system. At first, I believed that my studying habits were…

First Year Down

Class of 2016, Student Success Stories, UC DavisBy EdFund StaffJuly 1, 2013

I learned many things while completing my first year at UC Davis, some good and some not so good. My first year of college was quite different from others’ first year since I did not take on the experience of living on campus. Yet I got a great experience that I will never forget. I…
