We have a lot of fun in AVID. We are a family:)

We were SO ready to go!! Waiting for the tour at the Visitor's Center.

We really had to keep an eye out for cyclists! They had the right of way! 

Diversity is key at UCSB. A welcoming campus, indeed!

What?? UCSB has a quidditch team??!! Wow!!

 

There really was a lot to see at UCSB.

Such a lovely day at UC Santa Barbara!

Starting the tour of the campus.

 

Detective Arguelles explained  the importance of being an ethical person in and out of school. He emphasized that academic skills, especially in the area of  writing,  are an absolute must for success in any career. While it is possible to become a police officer with a high school diploma, promotion to detective requires a Bachelors degree. 

 THANKS to LAPD Detective Al Arguelles for sharing your time with us today! Your presentation was enlightening and we learned so much!

Thank you, Alex Nieves for presenting to our AVID classes today! We really enjoyed hearing about your experiences at Occidental College and your work as a sports writer with NBC and Sports Illustrated.
