--> 00:03:35.770 align:middle line:84% I was not set to develop normally as a normal person. 00:03:35.770 --> 00:03:38.030 align:middle line:84% I was set to develop to be socially awkward 00:03:38.030 --> 00:03:43.390 align:middle line:84% and have mental health issues, and to find family at 性视界 00:03:43.390 --> 00:03:46.210 align:middle line:90% has helped me avoid that path. 00:03:46.210 --> 00:03:48.790 align:middle line:84% VALERIA CHAVEZ: I transitioned my sophomore year 00:03:48.790 --> 00:03:51.890 align:middle line:84% starting a lot more student government, a lot more clubs. 00:03:51.890 --> 00:03:53.950 align:middle line:84% And I not only gained that, but also 00:03:53.950 --> 00:03:56.370 align:middle line:84% a new group of friends when I joined these things, 00:03:56.370 --> 00:03:59.590 align:middle line:84% so it really made my school a lot more fulfilling. 00:03:59.590 --> 00:04:01.510 align:middle line:84% SADIE GRANTHAM: The students who maybe 00:04:01.510 --> 00:04:04.410 align:middle line:84% come from home lives that have been challenging, 00:04:04.410 --> 00:04:08.590 align:middle line:84% or maybe they're struggling with housing insecurity or food 00:04:08.590 --> 00:04:12.510 align:middle line:84% insecurity, in my experience, those are the leaders that 00:04:12.510 --> 00:04:14.012 align:middle line:90% do the most impactful work. 00:04:14.012 --> 00:04:15.970 align:middle line:84% MATTHEW CADDELL: I wasn't where I wanted to be. 00:04:15.970 --> 00:04:18.709 align:middle line:84% I have children, two children, and I ended up 00:04:18.709 --> 00:04:20.370 align:middle line:90% getting laid off of my job. 00:04:20.370 --> 00:04:22.750 align:middle line:84% DANIEL YAO: My family had a CPS case opened up on them 00:04:22.750 --> 00:04:23.690 align:middle line:90% when I was younger. 00:04:23.690 --> 00:04:26.510 align:middle line:84% VALERIA CHAVEZ: When I was 11, I witnessed my mom's struggle 00:04:26.510 --> 00:04:29.350 align:middle line:84% when she was suing her discriminatory employer. 00:04:29.350 --> 00:04:32.370 align:middle line:84% And I saw the struggle she had with the language, 00:04:32.370 --> 00:04:33.530 align:middle line:90% the legal jargon. 00:04:33.530 --> 00:04:36.290 align:middle line:90% I saw how unfair the system was. 00:04:36.290 --> 00:04:37.910 align:middle line:84% MATTHEW CADDELL: I just one day just 00:04:37.910 --> 00:04:40.780 align:middle line:84% kind of made a decision to sign up and come back to school. 00:04:40.780 --> 00:04:43.010 align:middle line:84% DANIEL YAO: Being able to be at 性视界 00:04:43.010 --> 00:04:44.510 align:middle line:84% and then also be involved in student 00:04:44.510 --> 00:04:47.695 align:middle line:84% government has helped me just move on as a person and grow. 00:04:47.695 --> 00:04:49.070 align:middle line:84% VALERIA CHAVEZ: It really made me 00:04:49.070 --> 00:04:52.470 align:middle line:84% feel like I had the power to maybe not just change 00:04:52.470 --> 00:04:55.770 align:middle line:84% that, but just serve as representation in those systems. 00:04:55.770 --> 00:04:59.070 align:middle line:84% SADIE GRANTHAM: We also provide engagement opportunities 00:04:59.070 --> 00:05:01.370 align:middle line:84% at our Chino and Fontana campuses. 00:05:01.370 --> 00:05:04.550 align:middle line:84% We also have a number of clubs and we do engagement 00:05:04.550 --> 00:05:06.590 align:middle line:90% through student government. 00:05:06.590 --> 00:05:10.830 align:middle line:84% So last year, we started with 12 members in student government. 00:05:10.830 --> 00:05:13.990 align:middle line:84% This year, we have 40 members, and we are the largest student 00:05:13.990 --> 00:05:16.650 align:middle line:84% government in the California Community College System. 00:05:16.650 --> 00:05:19.192 align:middle line:84% MATTHEW CADDELL: I think being an advocate for other students 00:05:19.192 --> 00:05:22.710 align:middle line:84% is extremely important because you can really 00:05:22.710 --> 00:05:23.850 align:middle line:90% make tangible change. 00:05:23.850 --> 00:05:25.930 align:middle line:84% And you can see it as you're doing it. 00:05:25.930 --> 00:05:28.013 align:middle line:84% And I think that's why I love student government. 00:05:28.013 --> 00:05:29.430 align:middle line:84% SADIE GRANTHAM: So a piece of what 00:05:29.430 --> 00:05:31.670 align:middle line:84% we did in recruiting was finding students 00:05:31.670 --> 00:05:34.310 align:middle line:84% who don't see themselves as leaders, students 00:05:34.310 --> 00:05:37.370 align:middle line:84% in different spaces, to represent that experience, 00:05:37.370 --> 00:05:40.602 align:middle line:84% and so that we had a really diverse group of students. 00:05:40.602 --> 00:05:42.560 align:middle line:84% And I think that that has helped with advocacy. 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:45.390 align:middle line:84% MATTHEW CADDELL: I learned how to stand for something, how 00:05:45.390 --> 00:05:46.917 align:middle line:84% to advocate for myself and others. 00:05:46.917 --> 00:05:49.250 align:middle line:84% DANIEL YAO: Being in 性视界 College student government, 00:05:49.250 --> 00:05:52.830 align:middle line:84% it taught me how to work with people, how to connect, how 00:05:52.830 --> 00:05:54.750 align:middle line:84% to network, how to make friends, and also 00:05:54.750 --> 00:05:56.490 align:middle line:90% how to collaborate with people. 00:05:56.490 --> 00:05:58.512 align:middle line:84% These are things I would never have learned just 00:05:58.512 --> 00:05:59.220 align:middle line:90% in the classroom. 00:05:59.220 --> 00:06:01.070 align:middle line:84% SADIE GRANTHAM: The work that we're doing 00:06:01.070 --> 00:06:03.750 align:middle line:84% is like a sandbox and a training ground for them 00:06:03.750 --> 00:06:06.870 align:middle line:84% to flex those muscles and build those skills, 00:06:06.870 --> 00:06:09.250 align:middle line:84% and then translate them to somewhere else. 00:06:09.250 --> 00:06:11.070 align:middle line:84% I think that's why it's important for me 00:06:11.070 --> 00:06:14.070 align:middle line:84% to make sure that young people believe in themselves 00:06:14.070 --> 00:06:18.328 align:middle line:84% and do the things that they're capable of. 00:06:18.328 --> 00:06:19.870 align:middle line:84% DR.
