William Lainez (on the left) and Weston Hakanson (on the right) are studying partners who are both getting help in English 101.

This semester Citrus College Learning Center moved to a portable classroom across the Math building, P1 109.

Citrus offers free tutoring at the center, but students are required to show their Citrus identification.

Citrus Instructional Lab Technician Jody Fehr supervisors the center.

"Our goal is to make tutoring part of the culture," Fehr said.

The Learning Center offers drop-in tutoring and one-on-one appointments for logic, philosophy, English, Spanish, among other subjects.\

Other campus centers also offer tutoring: the College Success Center in P1 109 , the ESL Lab, the Testing Center in IS 107 , the Speech Lab, the STEM Lab in MA 129, and the Writing Lab.

These study rooms help students receive help.

Tutoring is available from 8 a.m. until 6.45p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Friday in P1 109.

Sophomore administration of justice major La'Keha Green uses the tutoring center twice per week.

"Students should take advantage and appreciate what the tutorial services and learning center are offering because one, this is free, and two, it helps your chances of becoming better," Green said.

The Learning Center is embedding tutors to where they are going inside the classrooms to help students with the work. They are making a push for students to have the advantage of unlimited time in lab, making an extension of the hours they offer, and how the overcome is simply positive because in the afternoon more students show up for tutoring.

Also in the program, "We want you to be comfortable," Gerald Helm, learning center supervisor said. They offer different methods on how students can get tutored which are group settings, form study groups inside and outside of the classrooms.

Tutoring is an educational opportunity that is not offered to many students. Students do not take advantage or seize the opportunity of such a limited thing. It is unfortunate for those in need to not be afforded such a great investment.

With Citrus having an abundance of offered subjects allows for those typically considered an afterthought are given an even playing field within the slightly skewed educational system that overlooks a particular economic group.

Education can be considered to be a luxury for some students. However, students have the chance to get financial aid, or some type of assistance. By the way, the tuition already pays for you to go to tutoring.

Students use the sources that are available to you. In return students that are getting "assistance from the Learning Center are the ones who have a higher GPA." Fehr said. "Coming from low economic background and/or impoverished community attending a four year university is not possible and at most is not even a fathomable thought."

Citrus giving students tutoring allows them to get the assistance they need to be able to compete at the 4-year level.

If students are interested in giving back and becoming a tutor the Learning Center is looking for applicants. They will be hiring until September 28. If not, this time students can come back in Winter 2019 and apply.

The following requirements are:

Tutors need to be enrolled in 12 units throughout fall/ spring semesters and 3 units throughout Winter/Summer semesters and have received a final grade of B or better in the class(es) he or she wishes to tutor, or be currently enrolled in the class and

achieving an A.
An instructor recommendation is required and your grade will need to be verified for each class or subject you will be tutoring. Click here for the Letter of Recommendation for instructors.

You must complete an initial training in tutoring methods, and participate in ongoing training.

I am independent and self- reliant. Throughout my life, I was told that I possesses the qualities to be a leader and with that I am destined to do something magnificent. That I had a presence in attitude that could speak volumes. For it was something about me that made people want to hear what I had to say. From those words, I set out to become that later. I made it a point to say and above the crowd. I made it a point to have my own identity. Becoming a sports writer and photographer is what drives me simply because I take on the challenge of pushing my own self.

A blocked punt from sophomore defensive end Grant Trueman led to a 5-yard rush touchdown by sophomore running back James Brown with four seconds left in the third quarter.

The Owls won against Antelope Valley Marauders 13-7.

The teams were scoreless through two-quarters of play. Freshman running back Marcus Knight had seven attempts and ran for 74 yards in the first half.

Defensive line freshman Nathaniel Bowie screamed for his teammates from the sideline throughout the first half, but nothing changed.

"Something has to give," said Braxton Brown, the Owls defensive back coach. "Don't hold nothing back."

Freshman Justyn Alexander brought confidence to the Owls' running game when they came back late in the fourth quarter to take the lead.

"We have to trust one another," said DJ Allen, the Owls linebacker. "Simple as that."

Quarterback Kody Olmos drove in a 1-yard touchdown to gain the lead for the Owls.

Marauders sophomore wide receiver Derrick McDonald caught a 17-yard pass from freshman quarterback Deshawn Boswell to get their first numbers on the scoreboard.

However, the Citrus Owls defense regain in control. They only gave up seven points and a total of 170 yards to the Marauders.

"We know as players we can't be complacent, especially in a conference game." said Tre Curtis, the Owls freshman cornerback. "It's time to run plays that can get us the win."

The Owls next conference game is against the Eagles at 1 p.m on Nov. 10 at Mt. San Jacinto.

I am a self motivator, but my true motivation is my mom. She is the reason I push forward and make away. Granted that she is my provider, she is also my hero and in return she owes me zero. As a child responsibilities were forced upon. For she was forced to grow up and take on the motherly role. Raising her siblings was a thick weight to carry. She is a reflection of a strong black woman. I give my greatest appreciation to my mother. She is the one who told me that I can become someone if I put my mind to it and as I am exploring the option of becoming a true journalist in sports it brings me great pleasure to what I know and to what I can do differently with the justice system today.
