—Crafton Gave Her Something to Be Proud Of
Student Profile
I started my journey at Crafton Hills College when I was Twenty-Four years old. I
was at a point in my life where I was going nowhere, and college was the only option
left. Starting Crafton, I had zero confidence and I didn’t believe I was smart enough
for college, but I had many guardian angels watching over me all over Crafton Hills
campus. I learned so much from Crafton and I couldn’t have done it and I sincerely
mean this without EOPS. The love, support, and guidance were everything I needed and
I’m sure a lot of students felt encouraged by the program. While going to Crafton
I became educated and confident in who I was becoming. I openly started to talk about
my views on things that were happening in my community. Crafton gave me something
to be proud of and it has made me a stronger Woman more than ever before. Graduating
from Crafton was honestly one of the best days of my life. I am now attending Cal
State San Bernardino and going for a degree in Psychology. My goal is to become a
counselor and help children and young adults. Attending Crafton was one the best decisions
and I hope other students who lack confidence and self esteem will hear my story and
remember to never give up.
