As a Glendale resident and student at GCC, I see the needs of the
college on a day-to-day basis. From limited classroom space to absolutely
no parking, the school needs help.
I've lived in Glendale for a few of years and graduated from Glendale
High. When I got the first mailer that spoke about building more parking
and adding new classrooms I was ecstatic. The fact that they want to
upgrade the labs and complete the science center shows me that they have
a commitment to educate students for the 21st century.
Glendale Community College was a great opportunity for me, as I could
not afford the cost of a four-year university. I am getting the first two
years of my college education here and also have a good chance of
obtaining a scholarship when I transfer. With the demands of the 21st
century, GCC will definitely need to pass this measure if it wants to
keep the reputation it has earned over the years.
I hope the voters in Glendale will recognize the service the college
has done for me and all future GCC students.
