The Transfer Motivational Conference was the first time that I had ever gone to Sacramento. I was excited to go because I have never been there but at the same time in my head I was thinking that this was going to be a very boring trip. To my surprise, it wasn't that bad. I enjoyed learning the new and interesting information that the speakers provided to us. I especially enjoyed learning about Cruz Reynoso. His story was very inspiring to everyone, having gone from working in the fields to being in the Supreme Court. This made me realize that I can be somebody in life, that I can overcome any struggle and help other people along the way to. I also really liked the workshop I went to, Que toca la banda: Chicano Music. Our instructor for that workshop was great, he provided a lot of information and he made it fun. We learned about different musicians, such as Carlos Santana, Selena, Rosie Hamlin, and many more. We also learned why this music came to be, the background that led to this type of music being produced. I also thought that the information we got on the UC's, CSU's and Privates were very helpful for the future. Some of the information they mentioned I already knew but some of it was new to me. They gave us websites we could go to for more information or to see our transfer status, if we have enough units to transfer to a 4 year university. We also learned about different types of internships that are available for us through the HACU National Internship Program. Overall I thought that the information I learned was very useful and helpful. What I liked most was seeing and realizing how many puente students there are. I was shocked to see so many people there. Some of the schools I haven't even heard of before. I would have to say that it was fun meeting other schools, they were all so friendly, nice and wiling to talk to other people outside their group. It was a good experience.
