Karla Baeza, welding major, said, “I wished we had a parking structure on campus. It has been hot lately so with the structure it will be easier and cooler when parking. I drive to campus from Montebello. My commute is 25-30 minutes on average. I have a class that meets Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7 a.m. A Tap card won’t work for me because of my long commute.” Photo credit: Perla Lara

Jerry Reyes, graphic design major, said, “It is my first semester here at Cerritos [College] and before I was stressed. Stressed mainly to find where my classes were at; I take the bus to campus. Sometimes I take my bike too, but it takes long especially to come at 10 a.m. It really is a workout.” Photo credit: Perla Lara’Jerry Reyes, graphic design major, said, “It is my first semester here at Cerritos [College] and before I was stressed.

Nicole Slocum, sociology major, said, “I have my own car, but I had to wait for my financial aid to go through so I can get purchase a parking permit. It has been a year since i have had my car. After my divorce, which was the first year without a vehicle, my kids and I were relying on rides and public transportation. I have not heard of the Tap card, but it would have been helpful. Right now is just gas money that is a bit of a struggle. Public transportation is not needed since my car makes commuting more convenient than before.” Photo credit: Perla Lara

Xavier Valencia, undecided major, said, “I take the bus from Downey. I have to get here to campus an hour and a half earlier before my classes start just so I can be on time. It is probably 2-3 miles of a commute, but I have not had the time to get a Tap card, although the discount would be really helpful.”

Christina Saldana, sociology major, said, “I take the bus. Two buses which usually takes an hour and twenty minutes. I reside in Bell Gardens so it is a bit of a commute. I don’t have a Tap card but the student discount would help out. Sometimes I am late to classes because the bus is late. So I have to leave two hours earlier from my house to get here.” Photo credit: Perla Lara

I am a journalism student with a love of photography which makes me a photojournalist at heart. My objective is to write about people and the stories they create. I also believe that photography and journalism are great ways to document history and to connect with other people throughout space and time. My goal is to take photographs, and write stories that make an impact in peoples lives.
