Hello classmates, my name is Annalisa and this is my first semester of college since taking a 4 year break from school. One "CHEER" of being a College Student is the opportunity to have such a flexible schedule. Also being able to join clubs and socialize with fellow classmates on a more personal level. One "FEAR" of being a College Student is falling behind in my courses and time managing with the responsibility of being a mom.

Hello everyone, my name is Leslhy Alatorre and this is my second semester of college. One CHEER of college has to be the optimism and hope for the future. I know the work and effort I put in now will help me in the long run when I transfer to a University. A FEAR on the other hand would be not getting into a UC school. Growing up in Ohio I always wished I'd get the chance to go to school in California, and now that I've been here for 2 years I hope I make it!

Hello everyone my name is Samantha Carbajal.
One "CHEER" for me about college is the enjoyment of meeting people and the gratitude I will get graduating college and working/growing is the career I choose. One "FEAR" for me is not time managing school and my personal life. I did have some problems in the beginning of my school but I am definitely becoming better.

Hi everyone! My name is Cindy Contreras. A “fear” that I have is taking the advanced nursing classes I’m required to take to apply to the program because I’m afraid of not succeeding as much as I want to. Although I feel as though this goes both ways for me because a “cheer” I have is gaining more knowledge and diving into these advanced nursing topics

Hello, my name is Krista Loomer, my "cheer" of being a college student is all the opportunities available to you once you are in college such as clubs or studying abroad. I was shy and nervous during high school and didn't get involved in any of our school's clubs so I am looking forward to getting involved in some of the clubs in college. My "fear" of being a college student would be to fail. I didn't do very well in high school and so I am very fearful of failing college classes and letting my family down.

Hi everyone, my name is Danielle Lopez. A "CHEER" of being a college student, in my opinion, is getting to interact with new people and have the opportunity to form new friendships. College gives you the chance to become a more social individual and come out of your shell, which is one thing I am excited about. A "FEAR" of mine would be failure. I have a fear of failing my classes, especially this time since I am more independent, and the workload will be much heavier than it was in high school.

Hello everyone my name is Cristopher Lopez, we all know they are things that excite us when entering college and they are things we fear as well, I will be discussing what I am excited about and what I fear. Some things that excite me are learning new things in different classes like learning a new language like Italian. Another excitement would be making more friends and meeting new people to hang out with. Some of my fears in college is Math, I am forced to take calculus and I dont like that at all I have always been terrible with math. Another fear would be probably just being too lazy to finish my work and just procrastinate everyday. I just have to pull through for the rest and get my degree.

One of my cheers when starting college was knowing I was about to become more independent. This is where my future is at and I would have to take full responsibility on everything I was going to do. As well as College offering classes at home was one of my cheers but yet again one of my fears. One of my fears was not being ready to go to a whole different school without knowing anyone which is why I choose to do some classes online because maybe I was not ready yet . Another fear is failing , my thoughts saying that if I failed any classes I would stop going.

Hello everyone, my name is Sandra Estrada. A "cheer" of college for me would be getting to do what I love. I love learning new things, so although I dread waking up early for my 7 or 8 am classes, at the end of the day I get exited to take notes, learn about the way our body works (I'm in 50B), and knowing I am one step closer to my end goal. A "fear" for me has always been that I will never be good enough for myself. Though I try my best, I sometimes don't get the grades I want and I put pressure on myself to do good because I know what I'm capable of.

Hello everyone! My name is Skyler Meach. One "CHEER" for me is being able to interact with so many people from so many backgrounds. I'm not from California, I recently moved here so I love seeing the diversity and how unique everyone is, especially at this college. One "FEAR" I have is being able to keep up with assignments. I used to have a bad track record and I hope to fix that with this new semester. Good luck to everyone this year!

Greetings all! My name is Naija Eaton. A "CHEER" I find as a college student is the  exposure to diverse people and ideas. I am often intrigued by and open to understanding the perspectives of others.
A "FEAR" I face in returning to student life is a prominent one, fear of failure. Specifically I am fearful of becoming overwhelmed by deadlines so much that I give up trying.
Nevertheless I am proud of my courage to return to school and complete what I once started. That is enough to keep me optimistic and motivated in my progression.  And as long as I remain optimistic there's no mental capacity for negativity.

Hello everyone, my name is Nallelie Venegas. One of my biggest CHEERS of college has to be the excitement. I enjoy being able to create my own path to success and choosing the schedule that works best for me. Still being able to have time for my personal life and not just flooding myself in school has been a cheer. A FEAR of college would have to be failure. I suppose everyone hates failure, but I dread remaining in the same environment and failing to advance. Being able to walk the stage would be a great accomplishment of mine.

One of my many fears for college was adjusting to a new schedule in which you are solely responsible for everything in your courses. Most professors don't sweat attendance and doing homework is completely up to you. The extra responsibility I think is a helpful step into adult life but none the less is scary. One of my Cheers is to bring home the degree my mom has always asked me for since I was a little kid I think she'll be very happy to see me succeed in school.

Hello, My name is Cristal Luna and these are my "Cheers" and "Fears" of College... Well for one of my "cheers" I can say that I am so thankful to be in college and actually work on something I love and not waste my time and other people's time. One of my "fears" is investing time in a program and not being able to like it or not being able to find a job.

Hello My name is Shae and these are  My "Cheers" and "Fears" of College...   I would have to say that my biggest cheer of college is knowing that I made it through, even when I felt like I wasn't going to make it. My biggest Fear would be going into the field and deciding that I don't like it after spending all those years in college stressing  trying to get said degree.

A "fear" for me would be perusing my goal career and not liking what I do in the end or I'm not able to use my degree. I would have wasted so much time. A "Cheer" would be that if all goes well, I would do what I love: helping people.

Michelle Obama couldn't have said it better. My "Fear" is starting college and not being successful. It has been 12 years since I've been in school. My "Cheers" would be when i pass all courses needed to graduate. Walk the stage and show my diploma to my children proving if dad can do it, there is absolutely no reason why they can't.

My "fear" for college is balancing being a mom of three while being in school. I anticipate it not being easy, but know it'll be worth it because my "cheer" for college is getting my degree so my kids can be proud of me. I'd like to inspire them to pursue a higher education because if I can do it, they can too.

Cheers and Fears of College....
My biggest cheer is knowing that I will be able to learn the subjects that will help me in my career choice. I love science, and just learning in general. When I first started college my biggest fear was that I wasn't smart enough to go to school, but now taking some classes I have gained more confidence of knowing how to succeed and study better. It takes work but it is so worth it in the end! :)

One CHEER of being a College Student is the excitement of pursuing my education in a subject that I enjoy. I want to add that this CHEER also comes with the enjoyment of meeting new peers who teach me new study skills. One FEAR of being a College Student is the fear of not being organized enough. I like to stay organized but there is sometimes an assignment that gets pushed under the rug or added last minute that throws my schedule off balance. Although, I think with practice this FEAR could be resolved it is still something that makes me anxious. As a first generation there is a lot of unknown territory about college and a lot of fears but I think things will eventually ease out.

One cheer for being in college is just being in it and the experience. I also want to add that the expectations you have for your future in education is another cheer. One fear I could say is learning how to balance personal life with school. No one in my immediate family has gotten a college degree, so me taking this journey is very important to me, to show the ones I love that it is possible!

A "Cheer" of College for me was being able to set my own schedule.  A "fear" of College was navigating on my own in the college world.  I had to learn really quick who my village of people were for college support. My brother, sister and I are the first to finish our college education and we plan to keep the family generation of higher education going.
