What encouraged you to become involved at Mt. SAC or the community at large?
I was initially lured in with the idea to make new friends and potential connections, but now that I had been involved with Mt. SAC and its community, I was able to find a new purpose to continue being involved, which was to expand my curiosity and the interests of the clubs I was involved in. Still, I wanted to continue making new friends and connections, and I guess it was the combination of both that still allowed me to remain always so involved.

Leave a legacy where you aspire others to create their own paths. Place stones for the future to walk on, like how you had with those who placed their paths to help guide you. Along this journey, you had already created your own identity, and are ready to create a path on your own.
