I Want To Be A Chaffey Student

I am not only coming to college to seek a higher education but I’m also here for my family. I come from a family of immigrants. We lived in a small two-bedroom apartment, but there is an abundance of love, respect and hard work. I grew up watching my mom breaking her back sometimes working two jobs at a time. Even though my mom did not speak English and is not from here it has not stopped her from giving her children a better future. When I was younger, my mom was never really around I never knew why.

As stressful as it might be now, managing my courses, family life, and everything in between I always think of the greater outcomes.
