I grew up attending school in the Monterey Peninsula. I enjoyed my teachers and counselors in all the activities in high school. During my freshman year I joined the cheer squad. We practice every day after school sometimes on the weekend. At times I felt it to be somewhat overwhelming and demanding. I was responsible for completing homework, taking test while working a part-time job. During my sophomore year my mom and I became homeless so she decided to put me in independent study. Which was the best move she had ever decided for me, I graduated and I am now attending Monterey Peninsula College. We are hopeful and this year we will be able to get our own place as we are still homeless. It would be nice if the hot lunches were healthier and tastier. Also the possibility of seniors being able to leave campus for lunch.
I love this school. I am 34 years old and run my own business, I say this because I didn't think I could ever afford or have the time/resources to go back to school. Since day one of going to Monterey Peninsula College, I've recieved the absolute best assistance one could ask for, as far as getting help with financial aid and taking classes. I've recieved free help from a lisenced therapist (It's 2020, we can all except now that support with mental help is ok :). I take a gym class every semester, so I basically a free gym membership in a great facility. Every staff member I've worked or talked with on this campus is super friendly and down to earth (that means the world to me).
I could go on and on about how great this school is. One more thing I'll mention is the EOPS program. It offers assistance to students for books, cash aid and more, beyond financial aid.

For elementary school I went to Colton Middle School: K-3 & then Monte Vista Elementary for 4-5. For middle school I went back to Colton for 6-8. And then I went to Monterey High School, where I'll graduate in June of 2020. The teachers have also been supportive and always check in how we're doing. I like that the MPUSD district has funded my high school academy, SPARC (Sports Professions & Recreational Careers.) The SPARC academy has opened so many opportunities for me, such as requiring a summer internship before my senior year, which I got a job from. We also get money from the district and donors that allow us to visit universities that we would never be able to do without the help of the district letting us ride in discovery buses. It has also helped me see which colleges I am interested in attending in the future. The MPUSD district has recently adopted the International Baccalaureat program that has changed my perspective on how I approach daily situations.
