I began to look into degrees that could help me give back to my community and learn more in the process. It wasn't until I visited the ASU Downtown campus that my thoughts found quality answers and possibilities. I was amazed by what was being offered at The Downtown campus and I felt that I could learn enough to help communities benefit from having me working with them. From my time at The Downtown ASU campus I was able to learn the true importance of helping communities and how if we don't step up who will.I'm very glad that I was able to learn how communities operate and what improvements all communities could use. Following goals I care more about has been much more fun than trying to pursue a degree due to financial gains. I am excited at the opportunity to serve my community when I graduate and be a difference maker with tons of possibilities at my feetThursday, November 12, 2015
Possibilities
Throughout college its amazing to realize how many opportunities we really have. It seems like everytime one road closes a better one reveals itself. For example I started out in W.P Carey studying business with the idea of finishing and trying to be well of financially. It wasn't until I started really understanding the importance of college and actually trying to better peoples lives. I used to think college was mainly setup to help you get a job that mainly benefits you and your family financially but I don't think so. In my second year of college I started to wonder who I would benefit by making alot money and succeeding in getting my business degree? I couldn't think of anyone I'd be helping besides my family and myself. At this point I started to second guess my decision and had to really think about what I wanted to gain from ASU and life in general.

Career Week at ASU
Last week I was able to attend some events provided during Career Week at ASU. I found this week to be very helpful in preparation for life after college. I was able to learn more valuable job tools and understand more of what kind of options are available to me. At this point in time im still looking into graduate school or good job after college. Career Week at ASU served as a chance to network with individuals and companies that were present. Even though I wasn't able to find any opportunities after school , I was able to meet some very interesting people and learn more about the process of finding work after school. After last week I am even more certain that I will be looking to work for an non-profit agency or possibly local or state government. At this point im looking for an opportunity that allows me to interact with communities and really have the chance to understand current issues and possibilities. I wasn't able to find anything during Career Week but I did gain clarity, which is always helpful. I will most likely be going back to Career Services and see what else I should do to set myself up for sweet opportunity after school ends. I'm sure it will be hard to find the perfect opportunity, but I'm ready for the challenge!
Spirit Week at ASU
These week has been Spirit Week at ASU and has been very enjoyable so far. Even though I wasn't able to participate in all of the events and activities offered , I was lucky enough to take part in a few activities that were exciting and a great experience. My past Spirit Week's from the last few years have all been enjoyable but this year I was able to obtain more ASU themed items and sign up for more events to attend within this semester.
The best part so far, of this week was participating in the "wax hand" activity and being around my fellow Sun Devils. This weekend is sure to have more events that are sure to make this week a memorable one. On Friday, November, 13th the ASU Mens Basketball team plays against Sacramento State University. I look forward to attending that game and seeing our Men's team outperform the Hornets, within our Wells Fargo Arena. This game is significant to me because I wanted to go to Sacramento State University out of high school and as a kid I was very interested in Sacramento State University up until I became interested in ASU. If I didn't come to Arizona State University , I would have most likely, went to Sacramento State University. During this week is another chance for me to celebrate my choice in ASU and enjoy all the ASU events I can!
During my last Spirit Week at Arizona State University, I have done alot of reflection on my past Spirit Weeks and I look forward to embracing the remainder of events which also includes an "action packed" ASU football game versus Washington State and also a parade which should be fun. Overall, I will enjoy my last Spirit Week and do my best to participate and be involved with my classmates.

I could go on for day's about how SOHA Engineers shows commitment and service to the public but I will only touch the base of the topic. Going back to its starting roots of 1965 , SOHA Engineers has strived to be creative and bring cost-effective project delivery to the communities it serves, rather in the Bay Area of San Francisco, Southern California or else where . For the last five decades or fifty years, SOHA Engineers has done its best to deliver quality effort and results that have easily, made communities look more attractive and modern. Not only has SOHA Engineers strived to create structures beneficial to communities but they have also worked hard to evaluate, maintain and rehabilitate existing structures and bridges rather they are historical structures or not.
SOHA Engineers have done plenty of projects that ultimately, service the community by either increasing its value, providing new resources through their completed projects and giving the community structures to take pride and represent as there own. Some of these projects include structures completed at California State Universities or Colleges such as; the CSU Bakersfield Math and Science Building, Sonoma State University Student Center and CCSF Joint Use Academic Building. Those are some of their projects that have helped students be more successful academically. SOHA has helped communities by also completing structures that help serve justice , such as The San Francisco Public Safety Building, San Mateo County Correctional Facility, Fresno Juvenile Justice Campus and many more that were created to provide service to the community. Not only has SOHA built structures that help communities with academic and justice facilities but also transportation, laboratories, libraries , recreation centers and historic structures. Overall, SOHA serves the community through its efforts of providing structures that aim to enhance the overall beauty and respect for the communities it serves. SOHA Engineers plays a major role in the innovation of many communities within California .
