SUCCESS STORIES
Betty Durham
Betty Durham began attending the Computer
Applications class at East San Gabriel Valley
ROP/TC in September. She came to the class
with an accounting and finance background
and was proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel.
Betty began the course working with Access.
She was quick and enthusiastic about being
in the post-secondary program since the class
is composed of non-traditional students who
also returned to school to increase their
marketability. Betty assisted her classmates
whenever her help was requested and she participated
in discussions as well as sharing current
events. Betty interviewed with the Pasadena
Unified Credit Union and after interviewing
for one position, she received an offer for
another position becoming available. She accepted
and has re-entered the work force looking
forward to her new career.
We congratulate Betty and wish her the best!

Jennifer M. Saldana
My name is Jennifer M. Saldana and I am Filipino.
I have 4 brothers and 5 sisters and I'm the youngest
in the family. I came to the United States when
I was 21 years old. My oldest sister petitioned
me; that's why I am here in the United States of
America. My 4 brothers and 2 sisters are all living
in Chicago, Illinois. I moved to California in February
1985. I met my husband, got married and have 2 boys
age 14 and 9. I worked in the Health Care industry
for 15 years as a payroll coordinator. I got laid
off from my previous job because the company was
downsizing. I decided to take the Computer Applications
class so I can be marketable. I have been in Ms.
Lopez' class for 2 months now and I have learned
a lot about Microsoft Word. Ms. Lopez is a wonderful
teacher, understanding and knowledgeable. I am also
taking a night class in Medical Insurance Billing
and Claims at the Tri-Community Adult School. One
day my friend called me and offered me a temporary
job processing medical claims. She works for the
Glendale Adventist Medical Center in Glendale in
the Claims Department. She talked to her manager
to see if I could get real experience processing
claims. I accepted the offer because I don't want
to miss the opportunity that I will learn from this
job. I hate to leave Ms. Lopez class, but I will
be coming back as soon as this job ends.
