What does it mean to balance East Coast conservative values with Bay Area liberalism? Our latest episode features Aaron Shey, a dynamic student from Diablo Valley College (DVC), who navigates this complex landscape through his unique educational journey. From being homeschooled in Walnut Creek to overcoming college rejections, Aaron's story is an inspiring tapestry of resilience and adaptability. He compares his initial experiences at DVC to driving a manual car—challenging but ultimately empowering.
Aaron's passion for community-building shines through as we discuss the creation of the Crochet Club at DVC, where he has served as president. This club became a sanctuary for students post-pandemic, offering meaningful connections over task-oriented interactions. Aaron shares his motivations for starting the club and his ambitious plans to transfer to UC Berkeley, aiming to recreate this supportive environment in a new academic setting.
As we celebrate DVC's 75th anniversary, Aaron reflects on the often-overlooked potential of community college alumni networks. We delve into the importance of authentic connections through student clubs and Aaron’s vision for fostering genuine community spirit. Tune in for a motivational message that underscores the significance of building lasting relationships in higher education and beyond.
