Hi Everyone! My name is Jude and I am the COS Librarian (you can call me Jude). I'll be participating in your class later in the semester when you get to your research essays. If you have research assignments in other classes before then or if you want to know more about textbook/book checkouts, our computer lab, free printing, open hours, or anything else the Library offers, please ask!
I am pretty much always guaranteed to feel great when I am hiking so here is a photo of me at Bryce Canyon National Park this June.

Howdy, my name is Mckenzie but I go back Mack (mæk or Mah-ACK). This summer my favorite memory was being knee-dip in the creek not far from my house, bent over and face an inch away from the water to watch the minnows and fry. To be honest this year has been hell for me but I'm good at making the best of a bad situation, I lost the man who raised me and my best friend, my grandfather at the end of this January. He inspired me in more ways than he would ever know, and really made a huge impact on my life. I'm a emt/paramedic major and I'm from Macdoel, CA.

Reflecting back at my junior year of high school made me realize the potential I have. My whole life I've been told that I am super smart but too lazy. My sophomore year of high school i went through a rough patch not only with school but with personal life as well. I took my junior and ran with it because the moment that made me see that I had bounced back was at the end of basketball season banquet when I was on the list for 4.0gpa athletes. After that the recognition that I was gaining from all the hard work has paid off.

Hello, everyone! My name is Dallin. I'll be 18 in December, and I'm looking forward to another wonderful year with friends.

I am majoring in computer engineering, and am currently working towards a transfer associates in computer science, where I plan to continue my major at Brigham Young University, Utah.

Another thing I really enjoy, aside from computers, is racing! I have been racing since 2013, where I started in the Beginner Box Stock class in Medford, OR. Since then, I moved up to Box Stock, 250cc, 500cc, and then SportMod, which is what I race today. I have won many events, as well as championships, but the best feeling definitely comes from racing alongside my friends and working on the cars in our free time.

My name is pronounced like every other Olivia, pretty basic.
-I am a highschool student working towards my AA for when I graduate.
-I was born in Idaho, moved to Washington when I was eight, and now live in Tulelake California where all my family live.

-For some reason I can't upload an image, but imagine a goat, three buckles, and three banners

Hello there friends! My name is Joseph Jernigan, but I go by Joey. I'm from Mount Shasta here in Siskiyou County. I currently have no major, as I am a 17 year old high school senior taking this class. This photo I have chosen to share is of me in January of this year.

It's difficult for me to choose one particular focal point to be my "special moment". I'd much rather pick something that encapsulates the previous year and this summer as well. During these times I felt great, though uncomfortable. This is because I have been working on myself by trying to get out of my comfort zone and do things I would not normally do. These things include dancing, going out of my way to talk to people, and to be present in the moment.

You all seem awesome, can't wait to work together this semester!

Hello! My name is Jaeda Jones, I am 18 years old and I am born and raised from Yreka CA. I am going to COS to complete my associates in science and am hoping to transfer to San Diego State to get my bachelors in nursing.

Last year and over this summer was a great year for me and I was able to create many memories with my friends. One of my favorite memories was when we all went to the barbie movie and we dressed in all pink and got ice cream after. I have a very solid friend group and I will also miss going out to fields and watching the sunset together as they are now moving onto college.

Greetings! My name is Katy Weatherton, and my place of origin is Winter Park, Fl., but my true hometown is Vilonia, Ar. I fell in love at 16 and married was married by 17 years old. It is rare now a days, but I am still married to the man I fell in love with 18 years ago. After about 3 months into marriage, I dropped out of high school, earned my GED 8 months before my graduating class, and started working. I have been in the "work force" since I dropped out of high school (about 18 and a half years now). Throughout those years I have had many jobs, but recently found a passion for finance. After working 3 years as a fiscal tech for Siskiyou County I decided to go back to school. My major is in Business Administration/Accounting, with a plan to transfer to SOU to continue my education and receive my bachelor's degree.

I have a couple of favorite moments I would like to share that happened this summer. My mother-in-law moved from Idaho to be closer to us (her and I are like Peas and Carrots), and we almost finished our cabin we have been working on for 2 summers. A couple more summers and it will be done. Our Summer has been filled with a lot of sweat as well as fun. My number one priority is my family and will do what it takes to help them be successful. I can't wait to see what the future holds during this transition for my family as I go back to school to better our lives.

Hi, my name is Riley Baumgartner. Trying to remember what I did over the summer is pretty easy. I took this amazing trip to Europe and I traveled all over it for 2 weeks straight. I live in California and my home town is Bullhead Arizona where I was born. I am a high schooler I am in 10th grade, I'm 15. This year I am taking 4 college classes which will be a challenge but I know I can. When I was in Europe I had visited Germany, Italy, and France. When I graduate I wanna graduate with my AA in sonograph to become an Ultrasound tech. In this picture that I chose you will see a town in Europe that I visited.

Hello! My name is Mario Cintron and I’m the embedded tutor for the class. Please feel free to call me Mario or Mar. I’ve lived in Siskiyou County for nearly ten years now, but before that I actually grew up in New York City (definitely the polar opposite of Siskiyou County). I love getting to go on outdoor adventures of all kinds and am an avid writer and gamer in my downtime when I need to slow down and recharge.

One of my favorite moments from the summer was a quiet evening spent watching passing shooting stars on a cloudless and moonless night right from my backyard. Seeing shooting stars always fills me with tons of hope and thoughts of possibility; if a seemingly random clump of space rock can travel billions of miles to spend a single second dazzling my eyes before disappearing from view, then maybe my own efforts toward my goals can likewise be cast out into the universe and be received where they are needed most. Included is a photo of one of my favorite spots here in Siskiyou County – Castle Lake, still partly frozen in the middle of June! While others were doing full on polar plunges, I only managed some very brief wading in the 38-degree water.

I so very much look forward to getting to know and work with all of you this semester!

Hello, my name is McKenzie Skallerud but I go by Kenzie. I was born here locally in Siskiyou County, but have moved back and forth between Siskiyou County and Coos County Oregon. I am currently working towards getting my Bachelors in Business. After I succeed in this I plan on going down a little bit more south then Siskiyou County to UC Davis to get my masters in zoology and get my medical veterinarian degree.
This summer has had its ups and downs like everything does. Though I did have my good and fun times, mostly hanging out with my sister. I believe my most special moment this summer was when I turned 17 and had all my friends there supporting me. I had so much support for my 17th birthday from my family and friends. Whilst my most memorable moment of this last summer was when my sister and myself rescued a 10 week old puppy. We had got him in our care and gave him all of his pro-biotics, anti-biotics, vaccines, and dewormings that he could have at such a young age while we also have started a gofund me to help pay for his medical bills as he has three broken ribs that need to be re-broke and rest. He is now in a trusted and loving home that we have a contract with to insure his best health.

I live in the Northern part of Siskiyou County in the hills of Hornbrook. I'm majoring in environmental science and also computer science. I'm still deciding whether I want to go further and pursue a bachelor's degree.
I've actually been trying to run a business for the last 7 years and finally gave up so back to school. Before that I generally lived in San Francisco or Sonoma County where I ran home improvement businesses. I usually go down to Chico area during the winter months and that's my favorite time. I get to see my grandkids. I live too far out for them to come up here and stay. With these online courses I'll still be able to go down there. It'll have to be shorter stays but them moving in with roommates made it that way anyway.

I had a lot of fun this summer, hanging out with my friends, and family and spending majority of summer at the lake. A special moment that I had during summer was going up to Hawaii with my friend, and my sister. A memorable memory from that trip was when we woke up super early to drive the Hana Highway and seeing all the waterfalls and the black sand beach.

One of my favorite moments was visiting my family in England. Covid meant I hadn't seen them for over two years! I flew back home over Summer and I had just the best time.
