Hi all, my name is Michael. I'm a returning student who has been working in the tech field for over 25 years. I recently switched into more of a business role at my company and, therefore, I decided I needed to take some business classes since my education background is in CS. I decided to slowly work towards an AS Business  degree.  Many of my classes from WVC/MC before in the 80's-90's has counted towards this goal and I' only have a couple more classes left, including this class.

Hi Everybody! I'm a little late joining the class but I am very excited to be here. I am a Women & Gender studies major, hopefully on my last semester at West Valley. I want to keep this interesting so I am going to just spill tons of random facts here. I have three dogs (a Husky, German Shepherd, and a Papillon). I love Disneyland! I also love cars and a drift. I work in a coffee shop and I know how to put a swan on a latte! :)

Hello everyone,
My name is Hien but everyone calls me Momo. It's a pleasure to meet everyone. I am a Business major, hoping to transfer to SJSU next Fall. I have always had a knack for management. In fact, I am the manager of Go Fish Poke Bar off of De Anza so if anyone is ever hungry, come grab a bite! Many people wonder what ethnicity I am and since I will be uploading a photo, I thought I might share to you guys that I am half Vietnamese, a quarter Black and a quarter White. However, I consider myself Vietnamese-American because I grew up in a household of Vietnamese as our only speaking language. Therefore Vietnamese is my first language. Anyways, once again, it was nice reading and getting to know everyone. I hope to work with you all in the future.

Regards,
Momo Nguyen

Hello, My name is Eduardo. I was born in Honduras. This is my last semester on WVC before I get my associate's and graduate.

Hello, I'm Patricia. This is my third semester at West Valley College. I did one year at De Anza, but decided to switch. I am a psychology major and planning on transfering next spring to UC Merced. I'm not really sure exactly what I will do with my degree, but I want to work with minorities and/or foster youth. I think they are the most vulnerable and need the most help.I actually really enjoy reading, but have not dedicated enough time to do so. I like reading memoirs. My favorite book would have to be Left to Tell by Immaculée Ilibagiza. It is about the Rwandan Genocide that happened in 1994.

Hello everyone,
This is my first semester at West Valley college. I'm taking this class here so I can take it online.

Hey everyone,
This is my third year at west valley college. I have taken some time off before this year so I am starting to get back into school by taking some online classes. I am 20 years old and currently expecting my first child so this year will be the most challenging for me. Although I am determined to finish school and keep going until I transfer to a 4 year college and graduate. My plan is to become a Registered Nurse and maybe specialize in something later on. Well that about sums it up for me, I look forward to interacting with everyone as the time goes on. (:

Hello everyone!
My major is Business Administration. When not at West Valley I produce and assistant direct short films with my boyfriend. I love my major and I love being able to merge my business skills with my passion for cinema. I was recently gifted a camera for my birthday and am obsessed with photography!

I used to read all the time, but unfortunately I have lost a little bit of my attention span and now mainly read internet articles. I plan to use this class as efficiently as possible to go back to reading novels again.

Hi Everyone, looking forward to the class. I plan to transfer to SJSU in the Fall 2018 to finish up my communication BA. I'm a singer/songwriter which takes up most of my time in my life and I love it! I'm getting a degree just in case but it has always been a dream to live in LA in the studio all the time, making a living off my talent, which right now I'm starting to do and going and forth all the time which is why I do online classes. If you want to hear some music I'm on soundcloud, apple music, itunes and Spotify.
Search Lovlee which is my artist name and you should be able to find me (:

Hello,

My name is Nik. I am a court reporting student at West Valley College. I live in Los Angeles, so all of my classes are taken remotely. I will likely do a lot of reading on legal topics as I advance in my career, but I would like to enjoy the time I still have to read "fun" books.

I'm not a big fan of sharing my photo, but here you are. This was a profile picture I used for some online portal. I'm supposed to look knowledgeable.

I look forward to meeting all of you as well.

Nik
