Hello, my name is Jaret Barajas, I'm currently a full-time student and my major is nursing. I am taking this class because it is a requirement to get my associates. I recently got my C.N.A. certificate at LBCC and was lucky to find a job so quick. I now work for LAUSD testing students for Covid, I'm on day #4 and so far, I'm loving it. I'm a mother to 3 boys, being around them is my best part of the day. On my free times I love to clean, I find it really relaxing and it helps me ease my mind. I do not enjoy going out as much as I used to, for many reasons I feel much safer at home, but I used to love going to the movies and catching a bite before. The last thing I did that was really exciting was zip lining. My main goal this year is to try to save up, since I can never seem to save a dollar.

Hi everyone! My name is Maya Bailey and I am 18 years old. This is my first year in college and as of right now my major is administrative justice, but will probably change as I explore different career options. After I complete my 2 years at lbcc I want to transfer to a UC or possibly a school on the east coast. I enrolled in Sociology because I’ve always been interested in the study of us humans and why we do what we do. I have taken psychology and thought sociology can give me another perspective. What gives me hope for the start of 2022 is in person teaching. I’m excited to finally be able to have that face to face interaction with my teachers and peers. Hope everyone has a fantastic 2022!

I enrolled in the winter session of Sociology 1 as a part of my major requirement, but also because I like learning new ways to think and interact with others.

Looking forward to new opportunities, both professionally and personally, is what gives me hope for 2022. I look forward to facing them all with a positive attitude and an open mind.

Hello everyone, my name is Gerardo Camacho and to be completely honest, I am enrolled in this winter course as it was required in my ed plan. I am an engineering major, so this type of class isn't the usual class that I would go for, however I am a curious person. I have many interests, and I'm sure I'll take a liking to this course. Outside of school, believe it or not, I enjoy working, playing volleyball, and going out. I feel like I always have to be doing something to keep myself busy and this class will add a little flavor to things I have to get done on a weekly basis. I am excited to learn a little something about sociology!

My name is Susanna and I enrolled in Sociology 1 as part of my endeavor of personal and professional success. Most of my peers here in junior college are much younger than I which is a constant reminder that there is not time like the present to achieve my academic goals as I am not getting any younger. I attended and graduated from a healthcare vocational college after graduating high school. I have reached a plateau and realization that although experience is priceless a degree is much needed to even be considered in certain positions within the healthcare industry. I have been a medical assistant and medical billing & coding instructor for 15 years. It has been great training individuals for entry-level positions in the medical office setting, but I want to be part of and train for the hospital setting. What gives me hope in 2022 is that this plateau I have reached is fact a push toward an opportunity to grow. A newfound epiphany for the grit, confidence, courage and wisdom it will require to accomplish my long-term goal while successfully continuing to nurture family, friends, and work.

Many things give me hope for the start of 2022 but, owning my narrative and experiencing new things to learn and expand from, is one of the things I am most thrilled for. Meeting new people from different walks of life to create memories with is another thing that gives me hope for the start of 2022. Reflecting and trying to grasp all that we--as a society--and I, myself overcame in 2022 is yet another thing that gives me hope for the start of 2022.

Hi, hello. My name is Galilea Villasenor, I live in Long Beach, California and I am 18 years old. I enrolled in the winter session of Sociology 1 Course because of one of two reasons--I want to gain a better understanding of the social forces that shape my life so that I will be better self-assured in being able to deal with them. Secondly, I am eager to better understand the simple nature of humans and their societies, reasons for social differences and social behavior, and the relevance of social hierarchies and social power in everyday life. I really look forward to growing and expanding my perspective on life and on important matters while taking this course.

Hi my name is Mia McCollum and I just turned 19 on December 20th. I live in Torrance California.
I enrolled in the winter sociology 1 because it is a requirement for my education plan in physical science but I will be changing into nursing soon. My hope for the new year is to try new things in this thing called life. I want to experience more and truly find myself because I haven’t yet. I also want to put all my heart into school and hopefully get a part time job because I wouldn't have a time for a full time because of school and softball. Hopefully I can find more interest other than softball. Make new friends and just have fun. I also want to become the better version of myself and surprise myself at the same time. I can’t wait for what this year has to offer!

Hello, my name is America Balbuena and my pronouns are They/Them and She/Her. I enrolled in Sociology 1 because the subject always interested me and I wanted to learn more. I can't really say what gives me hope for the start of 2022, but seeing as how things were going I think this may be the year I finally allow myself to "feel things." In other words, I think it may finally be the year I truly open up and allow myself to be vulnerable.
