My
Personal Statement…
“No other
experience made any bigger impact on my life than the two years I spent at
the College of Sequoias from 1956-1958. My counselor gave me great advice,
my sociology professor set me on the right course and my English
professors helped me understand my academic deficiencies. My Track Coaches
helped me develop my physical talents, taught me training principles,
helped me improve my technique, taught me travel conduct and how to
develop team spirit. All of which helped me build confidence and prepare
for the next level of education. Because of my family situation, I had two
choices; get a part-time job and ride the bus from Kings County to College
of Sequoias or get a full-time job and not go to college at all. Without
the California Community College System, I could not have fulfilled my
dreams or reached my goals.
The Community College is one of the Greatest Educational Systems in the
United States ...Lot of people have forgotten about the impact the JC's
had on Track and Field.”
