What should every freshman at your school know before they start?
As a senior there are a few major things on your mind; prom, graduation, and most importantly college. Leaving high school and going on to bigger things in college can be scary but you have to be willing to take chances and put yourself out there. Remember that a lot of people are in your same shoes, trying to make friends and working towards a career. Some will become good friends and others are better to keep as acquaintances; do not loose yourself, there are pressures but you will always make the final decision, think with your head but remember your heart. Life is a rollercoaster that we must be willing to ride, tests are around ever bend and success is at the end, we just need to hold on. I am coming back to tell you, well me, that we can not let fear take over, and even though family stressors will hit hard the first semester we can not give up, dreaming high is a risk and as long as the work is done we will end up where we want to be.

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?
I wish I would have known what great advising resources were available to me at Ohlone before I went down the path of "independent counseling." If I had established a clear academic plan from the get-go, I would definitely be farther along in my educational career. I don't, however, regret my time at Ohlone by any means.

What's the most frustrating thing about your school?
Since it is a satellite location the most frustrating thing is that the bookstore and main financial aid office is located at the main campus on the other end of town. The new building mainly houses all of the health programs as well as some general ed. classes so you may end up having to take classes at both locations if what you want is not available i n one place. Luckily I got into the Physical Therapy program so all of my classes are at the new building but I have to go to the main campus for books.
