The La Raza commencement, marking two or more years of hard work of Spanish San Jose City College students, was held on campus on May 13 from 5 p.m. to 7p.m..<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just did our commencement. Basically, we\u2019re just a small graduation for those that worked in La Raza. It was just to say thanks to our family for supporting us in this journey. From what I heard, they said 80 plus students graduated today,\u201d said SJCC student Jennifer Garcia, a kinesiology major.<\/p>\n
Garcia said that she enjoyed the time she attended SJCC.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was fun. I learned a lot about myself, and it helped me with everything honestly,\u201d Garcia said.<\/p>\n
Garcia had been in school for a while.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt did take me about five years just to do all this,\u201d Garcia said.<\/p>\n
Garcia was just accepted to San Francisco State University and is transferring there this coming fall semester.<\/p>\n
She said she will continue with her current major, kinesiology.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s more in concentration and exercises and movement. I’m trying to do occupational therapy; hopefully it works out,\u201d Garcia said.<\/p>\n
She thought that SJCC really gave a lot of hope towards people that had not been in school in a while.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think SJCC is great,\u201d Garcia said. \u201c And it gives them a sense of excitement and just to further their career.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
