10,000 Degrees Student

Santa Rosa Junior College, 2025

“Without 10,000 Degrees, I wouldn’t have been able to do this.”

Attending college has been exciting because I’m the first generation to graduate college in my family. It’s very important to me, because education is power.

10,000 Degrees has helped me in many ways, such as with scholarships. The staff has always been so kind and they always have the best snacks. I would always recommend people to join 10,000 Degrees! I’m so thankful for everything they have done. I couldn’t have done it without 10,000 Degrees; they will always have a part of my heart. With that being said, I’m very thankful I got into 10,000 Degrees.

My 10,000 Degrees Fellow, Amy, was truly my hero. Every time I needed her, she was right there. She never lagged, always picked up my calls and text messages. Without 10,000 Degrees, I wouldn’t have been able to do this.
