Hello, Everyone:
My name is Jose Mendoza. I am a first generation college student of my family. I was born in Guanajuato, Mexico, south of Mexico City. I attended Primary and Secondary school in Guanajuato, in a school call Guadalupe Hidalgo. At the age of 13, I came to the United States 3 days before my birthday. I did not know English at all. Once I got here I attended Del Dios Middle School for one month, then I went to San Pasqual High School where I learned English in one and a-half years.
I am not a huge fan of technology because sometimes it gives me headaches. But I am a PC person because i am used to use them correctly now after 5 years of owning one. At first, it was not easy for me to use high technology items like the Computers because I come from a country family and I used to be a cowboy. So, it was really hard for me to adapt to computers technology. Now, I depend a lot in Technology, I carried my laptop with me everywhere when there is school because I can do assignments while taking a break between classes and whenever possible.
The College of Education Mission Statement doe speak to me when they say “ We are committed to Diversity, Educational Equity, and Social Justice” because when I apply to CSUSM I was looking for a program that would be Diverse and that would show I pride in what they do. This was not really a factor on my decision to apply to CSUSM when I applied but now it is because I now know what the Mission Statement means to the College of Education and to me because I am experiencing it, now.
