Through the challenges, I found joy in working in the photography dark room and had ideas to take more photo classes at community college. ]]> 2022-08-11 22:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259386675 stephanietransfermentor https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259391167 2022-08-11 22:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259391167 stephanietransfermentor https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259393356 After failing my math and favorite psychology class, I started to internalize my Fears with academics. I thought maybe pursuing my college education was unreachable and decided to discontinue c at CCSF. ]]> 2022-08-11 22:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259393356 stephanietransfermentor https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259398178 After a 5 year break from school, there was an opportunity to return to CCSF and learn about Child Development and obtain a permit to work with preschoolers. It was a pilot program sponsored by CCSF and Wu Yee Children's Services. As a first-time parent, I thought this could impact my family and me positively. I always enjoyed working with children but had not considered a career path. ]]> 2022-08-11 22:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259398178 stephanietransfermentor https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259400723 Through the Early Childhood Education Pilot program, I felt connected to the school and felt part of a community. I passed my classes with the support of the cohort and resources. I finished the program and earned a permit to work with children. Advocating and working with children became my passion. I decided to continue taking classes to see where this leads and enroll in general education courses. ]]> 2022-08-11 22:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259400723 stephanietransfermentor https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259404544 With the support of resources, I started passing the general Ed classes that made me feel terrified. I spoke to an advisor and was told how close I am to transferring. It felt like a victory to return to school with a better advising experience and utilizing the right resources. ]]> 2022-08-11 23:02:07 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259404544 stephanietransfermentor https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259406271 Pandemic life had many challenges, but I was eager to finish my classes.

I'm still debating which one, but I hope to work with children and families in a therapeutic setting. I'm exploring the field of child life specialists in the medical setting. ]]> 2022-08-11 23:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/stephanietransfermentor/fmg8qah4vh9lqvdh/wish/2259413468
