Hello! My name is Christine Lu. I am currently working as
a Student Ambassador at Fullerton College. I have been studying here at
Fullerton College since Spring 2012. I am majoring in English and is planning
to transfer to either UCLA or UCI next year fall.
I can certainly say that this semester is the busiest
semester I have ever had. I am mostly taking courses that apply to my major this
fall and am working inside and outside of school. I want to share briefly about
my experience as a Student Ambassador here. I feel this responsibility that
wasn't there before. Before, this responsibility was merely for my own good.
For instance, taking many classes as I can, in order to get out of here as soon
as possible and transfer. Yet, ever since I came here, my view towards
community college changed dramatically. I was exposed to variety of programs,
like Honors Program, that revealed hidden potentials inside of me. I also
received my first scholarship from the Fullerton College Foundation during my
first semester. As a receiver of such
great benefits, I have been looking forward to share these good news to others.
Thankfully, through one of the students who graduated from Fullerton College, I
had gotten to know about and apply for Student Ambassador position.
One of the major requirements for this position is a
satisfactory public speaking skill. As a former ESL student, speaking in
English in front of people somehow plummeted my confidence, ever since I came
to the United States. Moreover, since English is my fourth language, I had to
work extra harder in English classes throughout my years in middle and high
school. I believe that through this opportunity, I will be able to break out of
this shell and escape from the comfort zone. Hence, I am currently taking
Speech class here, to become the best representative that I can possibly become
for Fullerton College.
Next semester is going to be the last semester I will be
spending at Fullerton College. I want my last semester here to be the most
memorable and productive one. Since I have completed majority of the courses I
need to take, I want to explore some elective classes, such as classes that do
not necessarily apply to my major, in Spring 2014. There is a famous saying
that goes "All is well that ends well". I want to leave a lasting
impact and footprint here as I leave, as a Student Ambassador and a fan of
Fullerton College.
