Barangay Jollibee's motto: Eat good, live good Hi! My name is Michelle Milay, 19 years old and it is my second year at Skyline College. I am really close to my siblings especially to my older sisters who stand as my guardians. I love my family and they are my inspirations in life. I am involved in Filipino Student Union and taking my classes that are connected to Kababayan Learning Community. I take responsibility of being the Artistic Director of (PCN) Pilipino Cultural Night class. My educational goals are attaining Associates Degree at Skyline College and transfer to San Francisco State University or any CSU. I desire to major in Business Accounting because I wanted to apply my math and leadership skills. As I am fulfilling my own career path, I desire to contribute on strengthening and nurturing my Filipino identity and community here at Skyline College such as sharing my passion/talents, being involved with Filipino organizations and building good relationships with people. Community to me is a group of connected people who treat each other like a family and who have the same goals/purpose of involvement. I consider my Filipino community as loving, humble, and potent. Thus, when I achieve my goals and become successful, I desire to bring back to my community by continuing Filipino legacy and lending a helping hand to the needy people.

Hi, my name is Mariela Francisco, or "Mari" (to make it easier on everyone). I was born and raised in Metro Manila and moved to America when I was 8. I felt as if I was lost in touch with my culture for half of my life and didn't understand what it was to be Filipino. I went to Westmoor High School, there my interest in my culture reignited. I'm currently in my first semester at skyline and the Kababayan program. After all those years one thing that I did understand was that that Filipino food is good, it was the only thing connecting me. Hence our barangay name, Jollibee. Food is the key to happiness. To me a community is a group of people who share the same intrinsic values and live in unity. I'm not sure what this community holds for me and I'm still exploring my options, hopefully it turns out okay. Barangay: Jollibee Motto: Eat Good, Live Good I am 18 years old, born in Florida and raised in South San Francisco. I'm very family oriented, without them I wouldn't be the person I am today. My sisters are my life, so whatever I do, it's for them. I want to be able to inspire my sisters, to help them, to be there for them in any way I can. School is something that's always been important to me especially considering the field I'd like to be in in the future. This is my second year at Skyline College. My major is psychology and with this I have a few plans, but my major goal is to be able to work with kids that have disabilities. I'm attending Skyline to knock out my G.E.'s in hopes of finishing everything before moving out of state next year. I not only take classes here at Skyline, but I also work on campus in the Center for Student Life office. Community is a means of surrounding yourself with those who you are comfortable with. It is a foundation in which you grew up either in or around or have adapted to and you feel trusted and at peace within yourself and those around you.
My name is Sheana Soriano and I am 18 years old. I am 75% Filipino and 25% Russian. I was born in San Francisco, live in Daly City, but actually was raised in San Francisco, causing me to not know much about Daly City. I went to an all Filipino school for K-8 called Bessie Carmichael. I also, went to a Filipino after school program called Galing Bata in which focused on helping students learn more about who they are through speaking, writing, reading, and even going on field trips that related to our culture. I grew up always being involved with the Filipino community whether it was presenting at the I-Hotel or volunteering for Pistahan. I'm hoping to involve my career circled around community, public health, and teaching. I'm still currently trying to figure out exactly what I want to do, but I believe that I am on the right path. Community to me means having a group of people that always push you to do your best and be your best and will always support you. Community is one of the biggest essentials in my life and can also be used as healing in order to heal each other from the oppressions that we all face despite how different we all are. My name is Lynelle Magat and I am apart of the Barangay called “Jolibee.” Our motto is, “Eat Good, Live Good.” I am 19 years old, born and raised in Daly City, California. I graduated from Immaculate Conception Academy, an all girls catholic high school in 2015. This is currently my 2nd year at Skyline College, hoping to obtain an AA-T in Kinesiology. I hope to pursue my career goal as a Physical Therapist or an Occupational Therapist. In a year or so, I hope to attend San Diego State University to continue my education career. On my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, volleyball, walking my dog, and playing the piano. To me, communities are an essential part of human existence that impact our world view. It can consist of those who share similar characteristics, interests, belief, resources, needs or a common goal. |
