And to the high school teacher who snubbed community college? Tell your students there are options for everyone at Los Rios, so they should enroll in classes, find an interest, and follow their hearts – Just like Evelina did. The doubters in Evelina’s life who disapproved of her choices have come around to accept Evelina’s determination to follow her passion, and are even proud of her accomplishments. While fighting fires, Evelina envisions teaching fire tech for the Los Rios Community College District, a place where she found shared passion, friendship, and a place to belong. She hopes to get hired at a local fire department, and she wants to pursue a bachelor's degree in fire science maybe even a master's. She took a fire technology class and was hooked!Įvelina is planning to graduate with an associate degree in paramedicine, one in fire technology, and another one in foreign language studies. At the fire stations, Evelyn learned all about a fire internship offered at Los Rios’ Cosumnes River College. Undeterred, Evelina found an EMT internship class that sent her to a few Cosumnes Fire Department stations. But one of the preconditions for the ARC paramedicine program is a year of first-responder field experience as an emergency medical technician. She enrolled at ARC after finishing high school and went to work on her prerequisite courses. She knew but didn’t care that college was going to be hard – but what she didn’t anticipate was a predisposition against community colleges coming from (of all people) a high school teacher, and a bias against her career choice harbored by her family and friends. Evelina was going to go to American River College (ARC) and become a paramedic. Even in high school, she knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life.
