My field of study within Cal Poly Pomona is Business Management with a Human Resources concentration. I first became interested in this field of study from my past experience of serving in the United States Marine Corps.

I particularly value this liberal arts approach that Pomona’s academics will offer me because it will give

As a California native having grown up in the Bay Area, I admire the rich culture and everything it has to offer. I also believe that this diversity has instilled in me characteristics which make me a great fit at COMP - Pomona.

Through these mediums, I have enjoyed the benefit of interacting with a variety of cultures and understanding the different viewpoints that persist.

After years of going through the education system, I have come to one of the most decisive and important decisions of my life: choosing a college. My top five choices are (in order) Wisconsin Madison, Pomona, Cornell, DePauw, and Saint Olaf.

Ever since a young age, I knew that I had a passion for helping people. When my friends at school were upset or angry, I felt a calling to help make them feel better. This led to my later realization of my interest in the field of psychology. Not only did I want to aid people that were in emotional discomfort, but I wanted to truly understand why they were feeling that way. As I grew older, I still felt this same desire, and my little sister, Aubrianna, made me see that I wanted to focus this energy

But when you add on a director that was as frustrating as Corey into the mix, it makes you go a little crazy at times. I already felt like the weakest link in the play for the fact that my character

direct people and manage them. Because I have a very outgoing personality and work well with others, I am aware that when I work in the future, I will want a management position.

During the 1980s, six million immigrants from Latin America and Asia immigrated to California. This, in effect, had a great impact upon the development of cities, such as my hometown, Rowland Heights, which has a predominantly Asian American and Latino community.

we talked about that. After that, we talked about college stuff. I got deferred from Yale, so it’s still remotely possible, but I’m not set on Yale. Columbia, UChicago, and Pomona are my next tier, and then Berkley, UCLA, Amherst, Wesleyan, NYU and Georgetown. I am not set on Yale. I’d be so happy at Columbia or UChicago. Pomona is cool and I have friends going there, but it’s so close to home. I would opt out. I don’t want to be in LA; I want to get away. You want some advice? Maybe just ignore
