A college degree


José Gonzalez joined our SummerQuest outreach classes in 1996 at the end of his second grade year at the North Shoreview Elementary School in San Mateo. He continued with us in Middle School in our Gateway Program and then was a TA in the expanded Peninsula Bridge Consortium www.peninsulabridge.org/ through high school and college.

José attended The University of California, Berkeley and graduated May 15 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Phil Ekedahl, Crystal Springs Uplands, '88 was his summer elementary teacher for a couple of years, and we both attended the joyous celebration at Hearst Greek Theater.

José will work on our campus as a TA and teacher again this summer. His plans are not clear after that, but he is talking of graduate school, and he did once announce his interest in becoming the Govenor of California in front of a large Bridge fundraising event. You never know!
