Jasmine V. graduated from College Park High School in May of 2023, and is in her first year at DVC. She is majoring in Allied Health and plans to complete general education requirements in hopes of transferring to a CSU to obtain a BSN and become a nurse. In her free time, she loves to play games, listen to music, dance, sing, and go out to eat with friends or family.
What are you most proud of during your time at DVC?
I’m most proud of myself for taking a leap into the unknown and applying to be a part of Student Ambassador Program! It is a wonderful opportunity, and I am excited to work with everyone and help others!
What is your advice for freshmen starting at DVC?
My advice for freshmen is to be your own person, both in education and day-to-day life. Coming in as a freshman myself, it is without question that college is a big step in life. While you may meet new people and surround yourself with them, when it comes to progressing academically, no one else knows you better than yourself and only you can determine how to be successful. If it ever gets overwhelming, don’t forget to make time for yourself as well and do things you enjoy. Everyone is different and on their own journey, so own who you are and don’t be influenced by what others are doing.
What is your favorite thing about DVC?
My favorite thing about DVC is the community it brings together. Everyone is friendly and I always feel welcome every time I walk in. It inspires me to better myself and continue to give back.
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
In 10 years, I see myself having a full-time job as a nurse and living life, potentially married. I also hope to have settled in a house or apartment with a pet dog as I have always wanted one.
What is on your bucket list?
A few of the things on my bucket list are travelling to Japan and Europe, learning Spanish or Korean, and attending a SZA concert.
What else should we know about you?
Music surrounds my life; I love to dance, listen to music, play instruments (guitar, ukulele, and piano), and sing! My favorite genres to listen to are R&B and K-Pop. I am also a huge anime fan and like to play Valorant.
