"I sought and hired an
advisor from Bay Area College Consulting to help me plot the course to
realize the life and career I planned, and found to my surprise that
good grades were not that hard for me to achieve.
I started
The American Future a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to exploring ideas that can shape our nation's future, and I also attended Republican campaign victory school in Washington, where I learned the skills needed to be an effective campaign staffer.
On the plane home from Washington I knew it was time to get hands on
political training, and emailed the clear front runner for the
Republican party in a nearby Congressional race. The next day, I joined
the team, and in just a few weeks I became the deputy political
director, and an irreplaceable member of the team.
I was working 75 hours a week, and learning all I could about campaigning. We closed the underdog gap to a narrow margin, and opportunities now abound for the members of that team. I am now an alternate delegate for the Republican Party Central Committee in Contra Costa County,
and am doing other work for the California Republican Party.
Though I have been fortunate in finding many avenues that teach and
challenge me, the most important lesson I have learned is about myself.
I have gone from being a passive student, ready only to go through the
motions, to being actively responsible for my own experience of life. It
is because of the guidance Bay Area College Consulting offered me that I have been able to accomplish so much."
Thank you Bay Area College Consulting for putting me on the right path."

Mar C. Transfers to the UC-Davis
from Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill |
|
Mr. Le, director and head coach, was a mentor and academic coach for Mar during his attendance at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill for the past two years. He was encouraged to sign the TAG agreement with the University of California system during the Fall semester of 2008 and was except into all except two universities in the entire UC system. He plans to attend UC-Davis in the Fall of 2009 and will major in philosophy. Here is Mar's testimonial:
"[He] introduced the concept of... transferring to prestigious Universities; however, to me that was unheard of, because the thought of it was beyond my expectations. Before introducing me to the transfer agreement process, he made an appointment during one of the weekends for both of us to have a grand tour at
the University of California at Berkeley."
"While we were both walking around the Berkeley campus, I was
instantaneously compelled by the radiating atmosphere in the area and of
course the colossal structures of the buildings; it was my first time
visiting the place, and what I had witnessed filled me with exuberance.
Afterwards, my belief level escalated overnight due to the intensity of
such an experience which Mr. Le had implanted in my mind."
Note: Mar is now at
the University of California at Davis

Hanae T. Passes the Writing Skills Test (WST) at San Jose State University |
| |
|
"I received a passing grade for the WST at San Jose State University after being tutored by Mr. Le for a period of two months over the summer. I had been struggling on the essay portion of the WST since my first try because I am a foreign exchange student and English is my second language. As the tutoring sessions went by, my essay score significantly went up and I finally passed the writing portion of the test with my highest score ever! Mr. Le is very helpful, nice, and a very motivating person!"

"The most important counsel I received from Mr. Le was his advice to pursue a career in academia. His [advice] was tailored to my interests, strengths, and personality (I do not doubt that for you he may suggest something different).
He explained the importance of applying to a prestigious university if I think I may want to pursue a doctorate. Mr. Le also elaborated on the difference of the California State University (CSU) system and the University of California (UC) system. Simply put, it would be extremely difficult for me to attend the UC if I first attend the CSU. I had not known this. I had also never entertained the idea of applying to a prestigious university, let alone being admitted to one.
With his explanation of why I may enjoy the life of an academic and the subsequent encouragement of applying to UCs, he gave me the nudge I needed to set off on my path.
Today, I am attending UC Berkeley
and majoring in philosophy. After my undergraduates work, I will apply
to institutions such as Stanford, NYU, and Harvard for my graduate
studies. Before I met Mr. Le I did not allow myself to entertain such
notions. Thankfully, I did in fact meet him, and was shown the
possibilities."
