Hey guys, my name is Adilene but I go by Adie! This is my last semester at CI! I was short some units of my major, so I am taking them this summer. I walked the commencement graduation ceremony on Saturday, and got engaged so it was a huge day for me! After I complete my Degree in Sociology I have some jobs I hopefully will get into to start my career and hopefully in the following months I will either attend northridge or Bakersfield to obtain my masters.
My name is Cristal Perez and I am a Chemistry major at CSUCI. In 5 years I hope to be performing dental hygiene as well as traveling to impoverished countries and helping improve the dental hygiene of the locals. One of my guilty pleasures is reading Us weekly every morning with my coffee and catching up with irrelevant celebrity news. If I had to describe my identity in three aspects, the foremost would be family. My family has always been my number one support in life and if it wasn’t for the relationship I have with each and everyone one of them I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Secondly, my devotion to religion has helped shape me, guide me and provide the path to where I am. Lastly, my humor is second to none! 
My name is Lindsey, I am excited to be taking this class over the summer and I’m extremely happy that it’s finally river season. I am lucky enough to spend every other weekend in Laughlin, NV during the summer, loving the sun and my friends. I’m a Senior at CI, graduating in December! I currently work part time and am planning and having my wedding during this class. My guilty pleasure in life is eating cereal and binge watching Grey’s Anatomy from season 1 every time a new season ends (I know, ridiculous). Thank the Lord for Netflix. Just looking forward to seeing how this class is set up and how we can learn to work together best.
below is a picture of me and my family!
My name is Stephanie James and I was born and raised in a small Northern California town called Oakley. One of the most important things to my identity is my experience camping, boating, and enjoying Norther California’s rich ecosystems. The trees, air, and vegetation are just astounding and I will always appreciate it. Another defining quality is that I have grown up playing sports including; soccer, softball, basketball, and golf. I firmly believe that my experience playing sports has shaped the person I am today. The third piece of my identity is my passion for the environment. I have strong feelings to protect and conserve our natural places. I recently walked the stage at graduation on May 21st and this is my very last class before I get my degree 
Hello Group,
My name is Susana Patricio. This is the last class I need to obtain my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Studies. I was unable to fit this class in my schedule this past semester because I had a baby girl in January. Luckily, I was able to participate in the commencement ceremony on Saturday. My goal in the next year, is to enroll in a credential program at CSUCI or Cal Lutheran. In the next five years, I believe my Bachelor’s Degree will allow me to have a stable teaching job. I also believe my education will allow me to have a job where I can spend more time with my family and have weekends off. A guilty pleasure for me is probably checking TMZ every other day on my phone and also watching Netflix before going to bed.
Hello everybody, my name is Lauren. This is my first online class. I’m 21 years old and this is my second semester at CI. I transferred from Humboldt State where I went for 3 years but I grew up in Ventura. I’m a Liberal Studies major, mainly because I found out it would be the fastest way for me to graduate. I’ve changed my major so many times that I was actually able to create a Liberal Studies major out of all the random classes I took in my different majors. Last week I got hired to be a cashier at CVS in Santa Barbara which is a bit of a commute but it made me really happy because I’ve been trying to get work for months. It’s also my kind of job since I get to be standing and moving around and interacting with people. I don’t know why but I’ve never liked to sit for extended periods of time. That’s one of the reasons I’m excited to be finished with school after the fall semester. It’s nice to meet you all!
Hi All, my name is Hannah. I just completed my first year at CSUCI as a junior transfer. My major is Liberal Studies-Teaching and Learning with a concentration in Psychology. After I graduate next year, I plan on attending CI’s Credential Program to get my multiple subject teaching credential. In 5 years, I hope to have my own classroom. I hope to be teaching 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade, but I will teach any grade K-6.
I currently work at the Montessori School of Ojai as an assistant in the Infant and Toddler room (0-24 months). I absolutely love it! I am amazed everyday at how much information young children’s brains can absorb.
Besides working and going to school, I love travelling, cooking, and spending time with my family and friends. The picture above is from just this weekend. My boyfriend and I went to Monterey for a weekend getaway and this picture is from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I have travelled with my family to Mexico, British Columbia, Alaska, Italy, Switzerland and more. I also love baking and cooking. I really enjoy baking and decorating cakes and cupcakes. When I’m not doing any of the above, I can usually be found enjoying life with my family of friends.
I hope you are all successful in this course and I hope you have a wonderful summer!
Hello everyone, my name is Sebastian Reyes. I am a senior at CSUCI who has had the privilege of walking with my fellow classmates this past Saturday. I only have two more classes left this summer to receive my BA in psychology! Yet, both are online courses which is a first. However, considering what I have read thus far from your descriptions and what is expected from us in the course. I can say this is going to be quite an experience because there is much to be learned and much to be applied. I consider this course to be important through the means of persuasion and framing. Which will offer all of us a realistic scope of media. I feel that the education we all have gained thus far with theories needs to be applied towards progressive thinking. I consider mass media as distraction for our society, but can serve as a powerful tool if directed properly with purpose. With that said I look forward to sharing and engaging with you all.
Hello everyone! My name is Gianna White and this upcoming fall will be my second year at CI! I was a transfer student from Moorpark College. I am majoring in Early Childhood Studies and I am beyond thrilled that I willl get to be working with children. After graduation next year I want to complete the prerequisites to apply in the teaching credential program here at CI. My goal is to become an elementary scool teacher for kindergarten or first grade. The future does freak me out sometimes since graduation time is approaching and the road to becoming a teacher seems intense. However I have been ready for the busy road up ahead and excited to become a teacher! This is also my first online class so I did spend some time yesterday exploring the course, and if anyone has any pointers along the way don’t be shy and share them with me! I’d love any guidance!! A guilty pleasure I have about media is Instagram…. I spend too much time on the app on my phone and it is terrible!!! During the last weeks of school this past semester I would delete the app on my phone when I needed to get assignments completed, very sad I know! Taking breaks from social media are beneficial for sure. I am excited about this course and ready to learn several new things over the next 5 weeks!
Hi my name is Rebecca Griffin!
I have one more semester before I graduate and go on to do my teaching credentials. In five years I see myself as being an elementary school teacher. I love the little ones and hope to get Kindergarten or First grade. A little more about me I love sports and on down time I love to paint. I especially love basketball as I’ve played since I was five years old. I’ve played on club teams, high school, and in college. I am half French and half American because my mom is form France and my dad is from Louisiana. If any of you are taking French for a language at CI let me know I can help as I speak it fluently. One of my guilty pleasures is I feel like I check social media sites like Instagram and Snapchat too much when I’m just bored. Instead I want to try doing something rather than always being on my phone! Lastly I do love traveling and have been to many different places in the States as well as in Europe like France, United Kingdom, and Ireland. Nice to meet you all!
