I like to introduce you Verna Golden, a bright El Centro
College student. “I am planning to graduate in the spring of 2014. My major is
Nursing and an Associate of Science. My GPA is 3.8, and every day I learn new subjects
at my college.” Verna is attending El Centro College since 2009 and enjoys
completing different research projects. “I am a fortunate student because I
received an educational grant,” she stated. My top instructor is Mr. Ayllon
because he taught me to think critically and about technology; and another one memorable course is PSY1 class. Verna
said: “My journey to now was a little tumultuous with my family and as a good
student I like to take as many notes, and I am a good listener, I follow my church mentors and El Centro College
professors to excel as student.”
At the downtown campus, I receive a lot of support; they often help me. For instance: my writing improved with Dr. Michael Stone, he help us to build strong arguments and to analyze first. I implement these skills with my own children. I have four adorable sons and two gorgeous grandchildren. At El Centro, I learned more about diversity and different and modern viewpoints from different professors. As a student, I feel connected to the college through many initiatives. Now I show them, and I suggest to them, the newcomers, the students: “better and easier ways to succeed at this school.”
“I am so grateful to the International City Church; they
made an impact in my life because I find diversity in its members. Well, this
church is an interdenominational Christian church; they teach us to be united and
work in groups. I work as a Leader Assistant and as a Food Pantry volunteer
called Bread from Heaven”
“I like to work at El Centro College doing volunteer service, assisting the new students, helping them get acquainted with different school procedures. I think education should be available for anyone and learning never stops.” “To return all the assistance I’ve received, I wish to come back someday to El Centro as a professional to continue my devotion to help, and I will make sure to stay connected.”
