I’m a first-generation Chicana and college student, queer, and fronteriza, born/raised in South San Diego, along the U.S.-Mexico border. I’ve lived my life navigating two languages, cultures, and nations. My parents are Mexican immigrants that came to the U.S. with only a 7th and 3rd grade level of education for better life opportunities. I was raised in a low-income household, and English is my second language. Currently, I hold an A.A. in Criminal Justice, a B.A. in Sociology with an emphasis in Law and Society, and a Masters in Latin American Studies. My plan is to return to school for a Ph.D.

📷 The photo above is one I took this summer when my partner and I drove up to Big Sur for some camping. I absolutely love camping and have been doing it since I can remember. Traveling and nature are grounding to me.

My name is Odessa Frederick, Im a second year college student and I just transferred from Cal State san Marcos so I could continue my education online since they are going back to in person instruction, and personally I enjoy the flexibility of online school. I chose a photo of me and my boyfriend hiking because I love to spend quality time with him. I enjoy writing, working out, and spending time with my friends and family. I aspire to get a masters in international relations and I am excited to explore this course more! I found the technology support very helpful in the syllabus because I was having issues with my computer.

Hello. My name is Bryan. I am a returning student here at MiraCosta. I have already received my Associates Degree from MiraCosta in Criminal Justice and I currently work as a Law Enforcement Officer for the State of California. Recently, I've returned to MiraCosta to continue my education in a completely different field, Computer Science. I hope to achieve a second Associates Degree in Computer Science and transfer to a four-year school and earn my Bachelors and beyond. I am taking this class because, since my last stint here, it has been added to the required classes for transfer. I'm excited to meet and work with all of you. I have included a link to a video with the required responses and you can find it here. Good luck everybody!

This is a photo of me in Humboldt California. This is my second semester at miracosta. I hope to transfer to Cal Poly Humboldt next year, and major in sociology.  Ideally, I would like to work for a nonprofit with a focus on civil rights. I appreciate the ethnic studies and sociology courses at Miracosta, there is always more to learn. The online courses Miracosta offers are helpful because I work a lot. I enjoy being outdoors, watching documentaries, reading, and caring for animals.

I am a full time nanny, and when I’m not working, I am sitting and watching TikToks or rewatching Grey’s Anatomy or starting multiple projects around my house and not finishing them. If you hadn’t guessed, I struggle with ADHD which makes online learning difficult but I believe I will thrive in this class specifically without the hard and fast deadlines. I am passionate about all social justice issues and love to further educate myself to do my part in educating others, as a cis white woman. I protest often, usually with my mom, and I am very vocal about my beliefs in every aspect of my life, especially online (and when I’m intoxicated). I’m here to learn and listen, I don’t have much of an idea of my future career path as I currently make well as a nanny. This class is mostly for my own knowledge and interest.

Hello lovely people!
Attached is the photo I have chosen to share along with my video introducing myself :)
My name is Michelle Sanchez, I love coffee and Jesus. I spend a lot of my time reading, going out with girlfriends. The picture of me and the sheep I'm next to is a picture I took at the del mar fair in SD with my family. I got to pet sheep! I love animals. I also have a passion for the unseen in our society like those struggling with drug addiction and the prison system. I am studying sociology and my goal is to be a good drug counselor in rehabilitation centers and help those who are struggling as much as I can. I also study administration of Justice and like to watch crime videos.
I could only do the video on Canvas not on zoom but here is my link to my canvas if the video is not able to click:

Hi everyone, my name is Lyrica Milani, and my dog's name is Kiko. I'm from a very small town in north Idaho but have lived between San Diego and Idaho for the last 10 years. I love spending time with my huge family. I have 15 cousins on my dad's side, so holidays are a blast and have been something I have looked forward to since I was a kid. I'm super excited to be in this class because, being from Idaho and traveling back so often, I don't have much knowledge of other cultures.

Hello class! my name is Angelina and my pronouns are she / her.
I am currently attending my last year here at Mira Costa Community College were I am hoping to transfer out to CSUSM were I am hoping to obtain my Bachelors in criminal justice studied. I am currently working on my associates degree here at MiraCosta in Administration Of Justice.
The photo that I shared above is a picture of myself and my 4 year old Golden Retriever Marley. I chose to share this photo with the class because one of our favorite things to do is to Go on walks to the beach, hiking, or going surfing ( yes Marley can surf ). Typically when I am not working or working on school work I am out a hike , at the beach, or at Disneyland with my boyfriend. One thing that I found interesting and everyone should be aware of and use in the semester is the Mental Health Services. Not many people have a great support system and Mira Costa does offered some great help.

I look forward to learning and working with all of you for the semester! :)

My name is Miranda Gann (she/her/hers). I am the oldest of three and the third in the family to attend college. The photo that I chose to share with you is of my boyfriend and I. I chose this photo because he is very important to me, he’s my best friend. My goal is to graduate next year and transfer to Palomar College so I can be a Drug and Alcohol Counselor. Something I enjoy doing outside of work and school is going on adventures and watching tv shows and movies. Finally, one of the most valuable resources I found in the syllabus was the financial aid.
