Grisel at the LAVC graduation ceremony in June 2020.
Being a first-generation college student and a sole provider for her daughter, Grisel was determined to further her education. Through the difficult times and obstacles Grisel has faced, she finds strength and motivation from her daughter. She took advantage of the college resources and the services EOPS/CARE provide.
She says "My experience with the EOPS/CARE program was amazing. Every time I stepped in the doors or called on the phone, I always felt welcomed It is a great environment to be around.
Being a single mother and first-generation student in college I felt very overwhelmed. Once I was in the EOPS/CARE program I did not take for granted all the perks they offered. I used the computer lab many times, 我从导师那里得到了帮助, and with the help and guidance of my EOPS/CARE counselor, I finished my AA in Spanish in no time."
Grisel marble earned an ADT in Spanish and transferred to California.

Anahit at the LAVC graduation ceremony in June 2012.
As a first generation college student Anahit worked extremely hard to be a successful sole provider of her 2 children and meet the academic demands of being a full time student. She took advantage of the college’s resources and spent countless hours with tutors receiving assistance with her courses.
She says: “For me, going to school was never just about money. Sure I strive to have a career one day that will help me support my family, but I also enjoy learning and discovering new ways of improving myself as a human being. I had such a great experience with my professors and fellow students during my time at Valley College that it helped me to realize I want to continue with my education.”
Anahit is proud to have completed her Associates Degree in Natural Science at the end of the Spring 2012 semester! 但她并没有就此止步. She will transfer to California State University, Los Angeles as a Biology major in the Fall 2012. Her ultimate goal is to become a registered nurse.
