On my unofficial visit to the campus at Santa Clara, I got a feel for how tight-knit of a community there is at the university. The people were genuine and friendly, and the staff went out of there way to make sure that I felt comfortable at my future home. Although I am not an engineering major, I was blown away by the sustainable houses that had been built on campus as part of an engineering project. However, the church on campus had to be the most beautiful part of my entire visit. The sheer beauty of Santa Clara is one of the reasons that I would like to spend my next four years there. I was also impressed by the basketball court and the facilities for athletes.
It was April of 1999. My family was at home. Children were running outside. The asphalt was burning. Cars rolled up to the entrance of the apartments and BANG. I grew up in Stockton, California. Surprisingly, as a minority, I wasn’t really a minority. There were, in fact, a large and diverse population of Asian-Americans. But, Stockton is not the ideal place to live. It was hot and dry, almost to the point of a drought. Stockton was also ranked as the one of the top 5 most dangerous cities in California. So, having a nice and safe family is kind of difficult. Eventually, my family decided to move to Crescent City, California when my dad retired. It was a world of difference. There were trees, plentiful water, and a nice cool temperature. This
Loma Linda University stands out for many reasons. First of all, the faith that is embodied within the university community is very appealing. Connecting people who prioritize faith in their daily lives results in establishing a healthy network of individuals who value one another and work closely together. This not only allows students to be great team players and helps residents support each other, but also aids me to incorporate my faith in becoming a successful orthodontist in the future. Loma Linda also provides an opportunity to continue serving the community by participating in mission trips and community outreach programs. From a very young age, my family has harvested the need of using my talents to serve others. This has led me to
Narineh Arkilian Dr. Galvan 12/08/16 Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana I visited the San Fernando mission on Nov 29, 2016 .The visit to the mission was one of the best experiences that I encountered. It was an exposure to a lot of details and helped me understand and reconnect with the past historical events and moments that we were studying throughout the semester. The San Fernando mission was the 17th mission founded by father juniper Serra. It was built to fill the gap between the mission San Buenaventura and the mission San Gabriel. We talked a lot about the Indians in the class and you mentioned that they are the silent victims of the history. I went to the mission in search to find answers to some of my questions and to confirm
In the Santa Clara Valley, in the years following the war, comparatively very few homes were built in the ways discussed so far in this chapter. The overwhelming majority were built in large tracts numbering from 50 to 200 homes or more. I will tell you how this mass-produced housing came into being in Chapter 7, but for now will continue with some additional GI stories.
The University offers a strong foundation in the humanities and sciences, as well as undergraduate and graduate degree programs through seven schools. Students benefit from small classes and opportunities for research, leadership development and unique learning experiences on campus and around the world. SMU is dedicated to shaping world changers. It prepares students to make an impact through their chosen professions and service to society. SMU was founded by what is now The United Methodist Church in partnership with civic leaders. This is the main thing I appreciate about this school. I appreciate how much they put in into being a leader for yourself and your community. This is why I want to go to
One day in the Sacramento Valley in 1848, there was a group of guys working in the mine as they do every day on this bright cold January day. Billy and all of his friends of 25 years had been working in the mines to hopefully retire earlier than their peers who also have been working for about the same amount. They worked days and nights and in their free time they always spent time with their wives and each other as they were best friends. As they continued to work, there had been talk about finding gold in the rivers around Sacramento Valley. They didn’t know if it was true, but that didn’t stop them from looking. As the days starting getting a little warmer they still had no hope of the mysterious rumors spreading rapidly. Until
The University of San Diego is the most picturesque and interesting school I have ever seen. The amazing campus flows on top of the massive hills and above the amazing city of San Diego. From any building or road on campus, you can get a view unattainable anywhere else in the world. The attribute though, that separates this university from all others, is the history behind it. The rich religious history gives every part of the campus meaning, not found at many other universities in America.
When I toured the school and got to stay overnight with amazing student hosts, not only did I fall in love with the campus, but with the welcoming people, California weather, and the thought of the numerous opportunities awaiting me. It was simply a home away from home.

Imagine laying on a private beach right now in California. You’re sitting in a comfortable lawn chair with a front-row seat to the Pacific Ocean. You have waiters bringing you any kind of drink or food you want, and the sun is making you golden tan. Now, imagine the thrill you get while being on a roller coaster. The sun is beating down on you while you’re standing in line, but the wait for the exhilarating roller coaster is worth it. I got to experience all of this and more on my trip to Los Angeles, California. I went on this trip the week of my birthday, which is July 31, with my parents and my two sisters. My second trip to California was an unforgettable experience that was important due to all of the locations I got to visit, all of the knowledge I now have from this trip, and all of the memories I made with my family.

First day of studio comes and we are somewhat nervous, because we will be taught by the new professor. He walks in, tells us to go home, pack our bags and get some sleep. Anna raises her hand and promptly states, “Why?”, and “We are finally taking a field trip for studio!” Our professor, Tim, tells us that he will see us bright and early in the morning at the Baton Rouge airport. “That is all, you may leave. Get some rest,” says our professor. We all leaved stunned and a little worried about where will we traveling to tomorrow.
