    My grandma knows so much history about the Bay Area in California, as she lived almost her entire life there. I am the only one in my whole family that wasn’t born in California, so I think it’s really interesting to learn about the history of where my relatives are from. It is so valuable to learn the history of places that are very relevant to your life. I really enjoy learning about American history, and throughout this interview process I was able to connect pieces of our conversation to concepts that I had picked up on in class. I think that interviewing someone who has lived through the time periods that we learned about is a great way to connect students to the material, because it makes it seem more real.…

    This interview took place in Dean Vargas’ office. As a first year advisor in the school of engineering, she has been busy in the past month assisting first year students in picking which type of engineering they are most interested in and helping them to plan their schedules for the upcoming year.
