He has several part-time jobs, including playing piano and drums at his church in Santa Ana every other weekend. On campus he will soon begin working for the UCSD Telephone Outreach program, soliciting support for university programs. Last summer, He was an Orientation Leader for Eleanor Roosevelt College and is training to be a Resident Advisor. The college experience is about growing up, living away from my family, taking care of my own financial needs and taking care of myself. If I have a flat tire, I can't call Dad to fix it.
