Tiger PAWS Fall 2012

Health Center where I can find support in any contingency related to my health, and for me this is an important feature. For example, there is a licensed nurse on staff with a reasonable schedule to help me in any nonemergency situation, such as headache or other minor issues where my health might be at risk; furthermore, this service is free of charge to all the SPC students.

A significant aspect of SPC is that the college makes available the department of students, which promotes a variety of activities to benefit the students. As an example, at the beginning of the fall semester in the orientation session, I learned that there are a lot of extra core curriculum activities; this confirms to me that I made the right decision to enroll at SPC. The school encourages the students to assist the community in several ways through a variety of non-profit organizations, for example, Meals on Wheels, which provides meals for the needed directly to their home. I have already signed up to serve my community for a few hours of my time. So, I can deliver a warm meal to those who might need it, and I am looking forward to participating in another program if time permits. The college also provides live events, such as music concerts and art performances, most of the time free of charge to the Alamo College students, and of course I am taking advantage of these events because I enjoy and appreciate the art and music community. Another reason I am happy to have joined SPC is because it extends invitations to various important people to give seminars.

The San Antonio Mayor, Julian Castro, for example, was at the Watson Fine Art Center last week to promote participation in the civil rights. Another reason I attend SPC is because there are numerous extra programs that count toward my degree. One of these programs is an international course, which gives me the opportunity to participate in studies abroad.

For instance, there are several courses offered this coming 2013 summer to study for two weeks exploring China, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain, but most importantly, if I qualify, financial aid will pay for my classes and some of the expenses such as room and board. This is fantastic, and I am looking forward to it.

An essential reason why I joined SPC is because it has been nationally recognized for its tutoring service, such as World Math, Reading Lab, and English Lab just to name some. I would like to mention that according to the coordinator, Mr. Robert Walling, Math World is recognized nationally because it is a program of excellence and is unique here to San Antonio, and this is a reason why I joined at SPC. Without doubt, Mr. Robert Walling is very proud of this program that he designed himself not to mention 57
