We'll see if that's physically possible!, Q:, What field would you like to go into?, A:, I'd like to get into either marketing and public relations, or human services in media.

I also realized, especially in…, Q:, Favorite class at NSC?, A:, So far - Business Calculus! Getting back into math after six years is kind of like riding a bike, and I'm honestly shocked how much I like it., Q:, Why NSC?, A:, I received an A.A. degree from Seattle Central College in 2016, and when I decided to pursue a completely different education and career path than I had originally planned for, some things came up and returning to my alma mater became more difficult than anticipated. My daughter had been a part of the Co-op program run through North Seattle College (NSC), and I remember having a few friends that…, Q:, Where do you draw your inspiration from?, A:, My ancestors. My parents - who are artists, activists, and teachers. My daughter! I really enjoy fantasy, non-fiction stories, movies, and shows - I've always had an active imagination, and I love getting lost in a world that is different from our own but at the same time teaches lessons that are applicable to the daily struggle. That's where I like to base most of my own writing. I've also been…, Q:, Why is getting a higher education important to you?, A:, Higher education is important to me because it represents a unique space: a gateway, a foundation, and a mirror. A gateway to a space where community, opportunity, support, learning, and creativity can all thrive - and show you that it's possible to exist on a greater scale. A foundation for uplifting yourself, your community and your family - whatever that may look like to you. And a mirror,…

And, my classes in International Business helped me understand even more the cultures or practices of other people in different countries that I feel I should keep in mind when I am working or…, Q:, Where do you draw your inspiration from?, A:, My inspiration/thought process for designing the logo is I played around with the concept of the sea and the sunset, which is what reminds me of the Philippines, my home country that I love and miss. I also had the colors be connected to NSC and so I played around with the blues and oranges as complementary colors. It was such a fun process!
