2. Unfortunately, I have not spent much time off campus since I have come to Cal. A couple of times, I went to Cragmont Elementary to help tutor some of the students. I have been to Oakland quite a few times to Kaiser. I have also visited San Francisco a few times, but other than that, I have not spent much time off campus. I usually just stay here or go home to spend time with family.
3. I am from the south bay (San Jose) and I am enrolled as a student at Cal. This makes me even more passionate about ACES and the projects because I really want to reach out to my local communities.
4. I mainly selected B-tech because I felt like I would grow as a person and at the same time, the students would be benefiting as well. Many of my younger friends and neighbors are currently in continuation schools (phoenix high school), so I feel like I will get along well with the students. Second, I chose to be in the Open Mic team and then I chose to be in BCC. I honestly do not have a reason for choosing those, I was too enthusiastic about B-tech to think about the other projects.
BTECH sounds really cool. tell us more in section. I wanted to do BTECH because it sounds like an amazing learning opp but it didnt match my schedule
