Thank you for a great year

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC Santa CruzBy EdFund StaffJuly 20, 2016

My second year in college has come to an end I am grateful that I had the Ed Fund Scholarship to provide me its support in funds I needed. It wouldn’t have been possible if the Ron Whittier Education Foundation did not fund the scholarship. I have meet Ron multiple times in events, classrooms, and…

The Best Is Yet To Come

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

As my first year of college reached its end, I realize that I have changed so much in just one year. It’s crazy to think for a moment and acknowledge how much I learned from myself this year. I got to see for myself what my weakness and strengths are, and how to manage my…

Things can always change.

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC Santa CruzBy EdFund StaffApril 6, 2015

If anyone has been keeping up with my blog they would know that I failed my winter quarter and was on academic disqualification. It meant that I had to get a 2.0 or higher to stay at UC Santa Cruz. My gpa was at a 1.13 which is very bad and I made the change…

My first College Quarter

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

Days, weeks, and months have passed and I survived my first college quarter. College life is so different from how movies make it seem. In movies, all they show is that college is just to party and do all the crazy things you never could because you were under your parents’ rules. Ever since I…

Winter Quarter Change

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

In the beginning of this quarter I was a little depressed, because I really messed up last quarter with my academics. That has not stopped me from looking at this as a lesson that will help me understand that you will always need to ask for help even though you think you know everything. Personally…

College Life

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

UC Santa Cruz has become my new home and I am able to shape my future to how I want. Nothing has taken a real tole on me because coming to Santa Cruz always felt like a home with all the new people you meet that are tagging in the journey of college. College doesn’t…

First Week of College

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

During my first week of college I have noticed a lot of good things, there is no one here to keep you on track, your very independent and this is going to take some time to get used to. Otherwise, college seems easy so far just waiting for new challenges.

My College Experience

Class of 2018, Student Success Stories, UC Santa CruzBy EdFund StaffOctober 9, 2014

It’s only been my second week here at UC Santa Cruz and so far, I love it! It’s a whole different story than the one from High School.

First Year of College Completed

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

After completing my first year in college I can say I have learned a lot during my first year in college. I learned a lot by taking different courses that were interesting to me as well as how to manage my time. I was able to learn about my academic interests by taking classes that…

First Weeks of College

Class of 2016, Student Success Stories, UC Santa CruzBy EdFund StaffDecember 5, 2012

My first week at UC Santa Cruz was challenging in adjusting to the routine of college. The work load changes in college and you need to be able to prioritize what you want to see completed. It’s very easy to think that by not fixing small problems before they become bigger, things will get better…
