"I've found a home at the Veterans Success Center, a place where I feel I belong." She tells anyone who will listen her formula for success: get involved and Los Rios Community Colleges will come to you. Navjot who likes to hike and volunteers at the Montessori Country Academy, squeezes in some fun with friends at their own entertainment space, a converted garage.
Navjot received an AA degree in Early Childhood Education, an Associate Teacher Certificate and an Early Childhood Education Master Teacher Certificate, and plans to transfer and obtain her master’s in child development. The program there promotes a student-centered approach to foster the spirit and diligence to be a successful student and lifelong learner, exactly the skills Navjot needed to pursue her goals.Īt the Center, Navjot found a community of professors and students who, like her family, shared her passion for teaching, and the resources, textbooks, and computers to use for studying. Navjot re-enrolled and discovered the Early Childhood Education Program at CRC had a Pathways to Success Program at CRC’s Child Development Center. This time – Navjot promised herself – she was going to approach education differently. Her brother is a sixth grade teacher and her mother, a retired teacher who taught elementary school in India, encouraged Navjot to get back into the college arena. But the yearning to teach was powerful as were a couple of family role models. She dropped out of community college shortly after high school out of exasperation and went to work. The aspiring early childhood teacher who worked two jobs and maintained a 3.6 grade point average at Cosumnes River College knows all about being overwhelmed. Fortunately, community college students are discovering that help is there for the asking, and community college can be an option for everyone. Going to community college right after high school can be overwhelming if money is tight and scheduling classes around a work schedule feels like threading a needle.

With the help and inspiration of his favorite counselor who advised him on how to access all the Los Rios campuses to meet his class needs, Felipe was able to balance his schedule between work and school. When his stint in the Navy was complete, it was time to get back to firefighting. As a son of immigrants, he had a warm appreciation for freedom and opportunity and wanted to give back. He wanted to serve his country in the Navy. But college seemed like a long shot.Īnd there was another calling for Felipe too. They were giving away toys to families in need.
