Alumni Parents Share their College Going Experiences
It's a pleasure every year when we have parents of our recent alumni share their experiences in having their children leave for college as the culminating workshop of our 5-week parent workshop series. The challenges of high school academics, completing community service hours, and navigating financial aid are anxieties many parents have.
Thank you to all of our parents for making our annual parent Workshop Series a success!
Our parents this year shared their experiences of having their children leaving home. Mother of alumni Janet and Steven Nava shared her support of her children finding themselves and exploring their options through moving away for college. She shared that having your children move away is worrisome, but as parents you cannot hold onto our children forever. She shared that the fears we have as parents need to be put aside and we have to trust in our children that they will be successful in college.
The father of Ashley Lopez, SUHi alumni 2014, who is now attending Harvard University, expressed the importance of taking advantage of outside support organizations like Hermanitas through the MANA program. Through this program, his daughter received the mentorship which encouraged her to pursue her dreams of attending a prestigious university.
Thank you to all of our parents for making our annual parent Workshop Series a success!
Congrats to Senior Luis Pena!!
Great news! Senior Luis Peña, won a scholarship on Lincoln Acres Library. He won first place!
The Jose Rodriguez scholarship was presented by our county supervisor Mr. Gregg Cox and the director of public San Diego Libraries Mr. Jose Ocadiz on the Annual Celebration of Life honoring Jose Rodriguez, which organized every year by the Lincoln Acres Library!

The LegiSchool Project is a civic education collaboration between California State University, Sacramento, and the California State Legislature, administered by the Center for California Studies. The Project's mission is to engage young people in matters of public policy and state government by creating opportunities for students and state leaders to meet and share ideas on the problems affecting Californians.
Core activities coordinated and administered by the LegiSchool Project include:
Interactive Town Hall Meetings in which state officials and high school students discuss contemporary issues.
LegiSchool’s annual essay contest, photo contest and art contest.
A Video Curriculum Library comprised of short videos produced by the California Channel and LegiSchool on basic functions of state government (e.g., How A Bill Becomes Law, The Initiative Process, and Checks & Balances: The Three Branches of Government).
The Students must submit a 750 word essay, typed and double-spaced, on the following;
• What, if anything, is your community doing to address climate change? ** “Community” may be the state, the city or county you live in, the school you attend, your neighborhood – you decide!
• Do you agree with the efforts your community has undertaken? Have you seen positive or negative effects? Should the community do more or less?
• What should the role of government be when it comes to climate change?
Essays must include a cover sheet with a name, home address, phone number and e-mail; the name and address of the school; and the name and email of the teacher who distributed this announcement. Please email the essay to terra.townsend@csus.edu. If unable to email an essay, please contact Ms. Townsend and make alternative arrangements. Essays must be emailed by January 30, 2015 in order to be considered
