I am currently attending Santa Ana College <br />where I am majoring in Child Development. I am participating in the Youth Employment <br />Program at OCCTAC, where I am taking Office Clerk classes and gaining office work <br />experience. In addition to that, I am working with the Early Start and Pre -Kinder Program as a <br />teacher's assistant. I enjoy working with younger children and assisting the teacher with arts and <br />craft activities as well as snack time. For my office work experience, I was given the opportunity <br />to work with the front desk and help with answering calls, registering students to the various <br />classes that OCCTAC offers, and making payments on the computer. The Youth Employment <br />Program has helped me in so many ways, one being that I am gaining work experience in both a <br />pre -kinder and office setting. As a first -generation student going into college, I didn't know a lot <br />of things such as how to register for classes or apply for financial aid, but Jennifer, the Career <br />Counselor, has helped me and answered all the questions I had. Elizabeth, my Case Manager, has <br />also helped me a lot with tutoring, assisting me with working on papers for my English class, <br />building a resume, and she has also provided guidance as I transition within the program and <br />with whatever I need outside of OCCTAC. One short term goal of mine is to get my certificate in <br />Child Development, and my long term goal is to become a teacher and work with younger <br />children. <br />25B-55 <br />
