In addition to obtaining my B.S. in Social Science by 2009, I will have specialized in Public and Community Service (PCS) and have minored in Education. With the specialization in PCS, it has offered me an opportunity to learn about public and community issues by working in designated community agencies and government organizations that apply academic theories and analytical skills to the solution for real-world problems. The program helped me develop a better understanding of integrating academia and service into my community. The specialization helped me identify and analyze socially significant needs addressed in the community in the context of many social science disciplines. Within the PCS specialization, I completed a research project and paper as well as 200 hours of participant observation and analysis, 300 hours of community service, and 200 hours of an internship at Orangewood Children's Foundation. I researched Latina/o education in after school programs in the city of Santa Ana, California. I was also privileged to work with Dr. Janette Castellanos during my specialization of PCS. I also became Dr. Castellanos' teacher's assistant during my junior year. I gained a closer academic relationship with her as well as a better understanding of pursuing higher education. I also committed to a year study on foster youth and high education for my honors thesis during my junior year. Lastly, I have taken a full year of statistics, research methods, and attended a Summer Bridge Program as well as the Summer Academic Enrichment Program (SAEP) at UCI to prepare me for higher education. In the SAEP program, I studied foster youth and wrote a research proposal while preparing for graduate school including: intermediate statistics, communications, and research methods classes. SAEP was a rigorous twelve unit, five week program, which advanced my research skills as well as public speaking skills to better prepare me for higher education. My short term goals are to attend a graduate program that will allow me to conduct extensive research on foster care and social work. I am very passionate about extending my knowledge about foster care systems and youth. While I am in the program I am going to work at a children's foundation that has to deal with foster care. My long term goals are to graduate with a Masters in Social Work, and work in administration for a foster care or home foundation. I also plan to further my education after I receive more experience in the field of foster care. It would be an honor to make an impact on society by establishing new policies and making a greater chance for success in future foster children. Lastly, I plan to open my own foundation to educate the less fortunate in the foster system and implement changes in the current foundations to better the foster children in the future. I also plan to finish writing my book about my past, present, and future life experiences. I plan to give back to my foster care community because I want to help those who I can truly relate to.Videos (11)
