My math friends Sebastian asked if our squad can come with him to take a picture of his group project. I felt happy and helpful because I got to help my new college friend even when I almost got to class late. But my math squad and I had lots of laughs and fun with his camera for a couples of minutes. It was a special moment for me.

I have been going to tutoring in TRIO a program on campus and it has truly helped me. My tutor really explains things to me and it's in a way I can really truly understand it. I had a test recently and I feel that I did really good.

In my Unive61E class these past two weeks, we have been peer reviewing eachothers' essays. I've gotten my essay reviewed about 3-4 times now and I keep getting compliments on my essay. Just as well as constructive criticism which has helped my essay get better and better each time. I really like the process of reading someone else's essay because I know by my comments and changes, I am helping someone else also write a good essay as well. This shows me that my professors care about our progress.

Last week when I went to play basketball with some of my friends at the SRC, I met another person at the courts. We started talking after playing a couple of pickup games and it turns out that we were rival high schools and were familiar with each others high schools. After meeting him at the gym, I happen to see him on the following Monday in one of my classes. It turns out that both of us had the same class but we never had noticed each other. We plan on going to the gym to play basketball again.

I was in math tutoring and I was struggling with an assignment and one tutor helped me with it. I asked a person before her but did not get it at all and she broke it down for me and I fully now understand it. But I always go in there when I need help and talk to the same tutor about how finals and midterms are so stressful. And she's a junior and that's when I felt like a matador.

A month into school I found myself looking to expand myself as far as trying to become apart of the student body government. I met our AS President Bev. through a mutual friend of ours and we exchange contact information. It was later on when she invited me to her office and we were able to begin discussing what I wanted to be apart of and she gave me her own personal resources to go out sand do just that. She has continuously sent resources and connections my way to help build my network and to prepare me. For her to take time out her busy schedule to lend a helping to me, who was a nobody at the time, showed me the true Matador family spirit. That day I knew if I needed help, all I had to do was ask.

When I was in tutoring in the Bayramian hall, one of tutors sat down with me, helped me with what I was struggling with and also gave me advice on what I should do and how I should go on with my major. Crazy thing is that I was planning to change my major but he motivated me to continue and not give up so soon.

I was able to go to the LRC, for the first time, and I had gotten help on my essay. I really appreciated all the help I got from the tutor. When I got the help I needed, I really felt like a matador for the first time. I felt proud to be attending CSUN, because CSUN is not just a school where you are on your own. But in reality it is a school that cares about your success, and offers the help you need.
