Sacramento State Guardian Scholars Program

Emily is pursuing a degree in psychology at Sacramento State while also competing as a member of the university’s track and field team. After a long separation of 13 years, she was finally able to live with her two younger sisters for a brief period before starting college. However, she has always been independent, as she doesn’t have parents or guardians to rely on. This independence has made the transition from high school to college particularly challenging for her. Since beginning her academic journey, Emily has had to navigate life on her own, often leaning on her close friends for support. She deeply values her autonomy and is determined to find resources and opportunities that will help her excel academically.

Emily has her heart set on getting an iPad because it would greatly enhance her ability to take notes and keep her schoolwork organized. With this device, completing assignments would become much easier, allowing her to focus more on her studies. The iPad would also streamline her studying, making it more efficient and effective. As both a student and an athlete, having this tool would truly support her busy lifestyle. Overall, it would be a valuable addition to her daily routine, helping her balance her various responsibilities.
