Jose is a transfer student from Pasadena City College and commutes to Cal State Long Beach daily from Pasadena. After graduating with his Associate Degree in criminal justice he decided to switch his major to international studies. Studying abroad two times in Europe was what inspired him to pursue his real passion which is travel. After graduating in 2025 Jose would love to work in the international community perhaps working abroad while also helping nonprofits help other former foster youth transition into successful adults. Giving back to the community and helping others has always been his passion therefore he likely sees himself working for the Peace Corps after graduating or perhaps even joining the military as an officer. Although Jose is still exploring his career paths and searching for internships one thing for certain is that he will be very successful and earn his bachelor’s degree by 2025.
