>> [Background Music] The purpose
of Vision 2000 is embedded in its title.
And it's to have a vision, but to look down the road,
to look at the trends to find what students are going
to need in the future.
Our signature project, which is the College Prep Math
and Reading Academy, and that is our connection to Sac State.
I developed a program over 10 years ago, where I would try
to get students to see a different path than the one
that they're currently on.
We follow our curriculum, which is very well-planned
and with the best of the teachers, as a matter of fact,
we have two of Sacramento City Unifieds, teachers of the year,
so that's kind of the quality that we have.
The teachers are the key.
They are absolutely some
of the very best teachers in the county.
Sac State is so perfect.
Here's all the grass and the trees and the beautiful campus,
and the kids really, really like it.
We have a college and career day,
that's where we have different people come in and talk
about their professions, including people on campus,
and for the past two years now, we've had a helicopter land.
So they get to talk to the helicopter pilots and firemen
and policemen, and all of these people
who are telling them constantly, you can do this.
My association with Sac State goes way back.
I was a student here.
I got my Master's here.
So I really know Sac State, and I also know that the kids
that I described, those kids are me,
and I know what it takes in order to succeed.
That education is our way out.
So I went from being a, a master's student here
to actually teaching here,
because I [Background Music] really do believe in education.
All of this happened through Sac State.
