Mr. Thomas Advocates for AVC: "It's the Smartest Thing To Do For A Teenage Career"

For lots of senior high school students college acceptance as already been declared. The majority of people already know who wants them as well as where they want to go.

However, getting accepted into your dream college isn’t the problem for students like me and others- it’s paying the 200% upmarket of Cal States, UC’s, and private institutions.

This is where community college comes in and make it where we have the chance at our first two years of college education at a more reasonable price. One previous Marauder on campus is Mr. Thomas!

He was the typical average student in his high school, and didn’t know what he wanted to do. He signed up for classes at AVC and started working at the Palmdale City Library. However, community college is for everyone. Regardless of income, or even your knowledge of what your major might be.

“Transfering in 2 years is completely possible, it might be a little more tricky, you might need to take some Summer courses- but completely possible.”

Mr. Warford states that community college is “still the best deal in education”. Within his article on Tuesday March 12th, 2019- “Pulitzer Prize winner and US Poet Laureate Kay Ryan is an AVC alumni, Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher, former Major League Baseball stars Jim Slaton, Jim Bruske, and Kevin Appier; politicians Dave Cox and Sharon Runner; and author Doreen Virtue, all went to AVC, to name just a few high achievers”.

Community college has an overwhelming disgusting stigma that people won’t be successful if they go that route. That couldn’t be farther from the truth, and there’s plenty of success stories to prove this statement wrong.

“Don’t rack up any debt, find something like a spiritual guide (whatever that might be for you) and avoid relationships that aren’t going to be an asset in any way” says Mr. Thomas.

I couldn’t agree more. You receive back the work that you put into something. You want to be successful and transfer within two years? That’s entirely up to how much effort you actually put into your work.
