Okay, let’s meet Delfin. He’s a cinema and theater major who calls Los Angeles his hometown. He started at LACC early as he participated in the high school program titled Upward Bound. Now, Delfin is utilizing as many resources as LACC can offer from the TRIO Program and First Year Experience Program to being a student ambassador. Delfin, you are up.

– Hello, Alex. I’ve always loved going to the movies and I knew that I wanted to work in theater and film because I loved storytelling. I was already aware of how good a school LACC is, thanks to Upward Bound. As someone who is interested in working in the theater and film industry, I knew LACC would be the right choice for me with their talented faculty. LACC is filled with historical alumni including Mark Hamill, Clint Eastwood, and Morgan Freeman. I love this building. It consists of three theaters. Students never run out of space to rehearse. Each student wants to see each other succeed on stage, and we’re all very supportive of each other. Professors here are quite helpful. They’re willing to work with you outside of class to ensure you’re as successful as possible. I took a summer theater course during high school and that same professor is now my teacher again. I made such a bond with them that I even helped as a teaching assistant last summer in this leader dual enrollment course, There are many great programs and services here on campus. The TRIO program offers students of low income or first generation opportunities to excel on campus. TRIO has exclusive counseling, tutoring and more. For those straight out high school like me, there is President Scholars and the FYE, First Year Experience Program. Both will do their best to help you transfer to a university of your choice. Thanks to FYE, I work as an Outreach Ambassador in the Welcome Center. Here, I help students with enrolling classes, schedule counseling appointments, contacting professors and more. I’m so glad to have many opportunities here on campus and I cannot wait to see what’s in store for me in the future. That’s a wrap. Back to you, Alex.

– Delfin, your story is fantastic. Thank you for showing us your passion for cinema and theater. We cannot wait to see all the remarkable films you will direct and star in. We know you get the best education and hands-on experience from your professors at LACC. Thank you and break a leg out there.
