“Cerritos College was where I found my love for education, for learning. Cerritos was the first place I discovered core truths about what I wanted and about who I am. I think, most of all, it was a second chance. I took advantage of that. I worked hard to put myself in a better place. Cerritos was a platform, and a medium of opportunity. Cerritos College has the resources and services to give people from literally any and all walks of life an opportunity. All you have to do is go out there and take it. And that’s what I did.”
