Since the fall of 2020, my college experience with Ventura College has been steadily thrilling. Not only have I learned more about my home country and other nations around the world, I have also been challenged mentally by various concepts. For example, during my two courses of anthropology, I was tasked with utilizing the idea known as "cultural relativism." To put it simply, I had to avoid being "ethnocentric" (i.e. deeming my culture superior than others) towards rituals or practices I was unaware of. Another example was the philosophy of existentialism being heavily associated with Juan-Paul Sartre. His motto was "existence precedes essence," and by taking this thought process to its logical conclusion, humanity is intrinsically worth nothing and therefore need to create its own meaning to sustain itself. In my opinion, it made me think about not jumping to conclusions hastily, and to take into consideration of my own worth as a human being. Overall, I had a wonderful time at VC.
Ventura College has lots of opportunities for all different kinds of students. It’s easy to find classes that can fit your schedule even if it’s a busy one. I had two jobs and went to classes mainly at Ventura college; their partnership with the other community colleges in our county may have been the most beneficial for students who have diverse needs. The push for graduation is entirely self-propelled so your college experience here is whatever you put into it. These many different opportunities helped me figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Due to Ventura College, I was able to afford my own college and move out on my own. Even when times got a bit tough, there were services such as the food pantry, or the health services that were included in tuition that were a big help for my roommates and I. Use them and they will help you!
I have only been at Ventura college for two years, and so far each one of my professors have been phenomenal. I had taken classes at Ventura college in high school to get ahead on my requirements for college, and I have always had a very professional and well rounded learning experience. The staff does a very pristine job in making sure that every kid is safe, and I really appreciate that they took the time to make sure that campus was secure for all students to return after COVID by taking the correct measurements and precautions. The professors I have had are open and helpful when I have asked for assistance or clarification in projects, assignments, lectures, etc. and they care about their students' success. I admire the smaller environment of the classrooms, because it gives the students a better one on one connection with the professor.
