Teresa Guerrero

Student of Distinction (2023)

English as a Second Language

School of Communication, Humanities & Languages

Nominated by Professor Margarita Shirinian

 

'I met Teresa in class in Fall 2022. She enrolled in my advanced Grammar/Writing class. It was her first class at Norco College; actually, it was her first college class ever, and it was rather challenging for her. However, Teresa did her best every single day. She never missed any classes and was always ready in the morning with her completed assignments, questions, and a big smile on her face. She was always positive, motivated, and determined to listen and understand complex language phenomena.

The most important thing was her realization that she didn't imagine her life without school any longer, even though she was very busy with her family responsibilities, kids' activities, and a job as a cafeteria worker at the CNUSD. This semester, Teresa is in my class again. She exhibits the same great attitude and work ethics, and she is a pleasure to have in class. Teresa definitely deserves to be recognized.' - Margarita Shirinian
