"I will be a sports journalist." - Rashad Lowery
Long Beach resident Rashad Lowery is on track to transfer to a
four-year university to major in English in fall 2010. He is anxiously
awaiting his college admissions letters—his first choice is to attend
California State University, San Diego and his second choice is
California State University, San Jose.
Initially, Rashad chose to attend El Camino College Compton Center
because he was living in Compton and the location was convenient, but he
really credits Elizabeth Martinez, Transfer Center Coordinator, with
motivating him and helping him realize he could attain his life goals.
"The Transfer Center really helped me out, from instructing me on what
classes to take to encouraging me to go on university tours to check out
school campuses, to walking me through the whole process of filling out
college applications."
In addition, the Financial Aid office helped make things easier in
terms of costs. Rashad was able to take advantage of the Board of
Governor's fee waiver and benefits of the EOP & S Program.
Rashad isn't totally sure where his career will take him yet.
Combining two things he likes to do, writing and playing sports, he is
considering a career as a sports journalist. He also has an
entrepreneurial spirit and wants to own his own business someday. "I'd
really like to produce video games," he says.
