The EOPS program and Bog Fee Waiver are both important to students at City College because it makes things easier for everybody educational wise. The EOPS program is a student support program for students, funded by the State of California and the Los Rios Community College District. It’s also designed to provide opportunities in higher education for students with academic potential who, historically, would not have attended college. The Bog Fee Waiver is an application, for California residents, that waives enrollment fees from the Summer semester through the Spring semester so that all the students will have to do is just pay a portion of the fee and nothing more.

As a Journalism major, Sherman wants to get an AA degree in Journalism and then transfer to

Going to the movies has always been one of my favorite hobbies. Since I was 11-years-old, that’s what I wanted to do all the time, and I wouldn’t change it one bit. I’ve always thought about going back to the movies since I saw the previews to all the new movies that were going to be shown in the theaters, and once I saw the movie previews to Big Momma’s House (Like Father, Like Son) and Never Say Never, that’s when I told myself that I was going to go to the movies.
