For the Paiz family, City College has been a part of their family for over thirty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Teresa Paiz grew up in the <\/strong>eastern foothills of San Jos\u00e9. After graduating from Independence High School, she decided to go to Evergreen Valley College (EVC). She found an evening job at EVC as a dispatcher for campus police. After being in the position for a while, she heard they needed a dispatcher and office assistant at City College, so she began working there in May 1989.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teresa was going to school at EVC during the day and working at City College at night. She was young, single, and didn\u2019t have a car or even a driver\u2019s license. Her father would drop her off and pick her up from her shifts that were Mondays through Thursdays from 4:00p.m. to 10:00p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After graduating from EVC in 1989, she continued working her evening dispatch shift and took an hourly office assistant job with the Dean of Humanities and Social Science. Sign Language was a part of the Social Sciences department at that time and Teresa wanted to communicate better with some of the faculty she worked with who were deaf. She enrolled in her first Sign Language course at City soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a wonderful experience being at City College. I love working with the students, faculty, and staff. This is been my home. My home away from home.&#8221;<\/p><cite>Teresa Paiz, SJCC Admissions &amp; Records Director<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On October 17, 1989, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake hit northern California just after 5 p.m. Teresa was working her dispatcher shift when the Loma Prieta earthquake struck. \u201cWe all stood by the doorways,\u201d Teresa remembers. \u201cI saw the police cars and the vans rolling. I was a 21 years-old at the time, saying, \u2018oh my god, is this it?\u2019\u201d Teresa laughs, \u201cLiving in California, I had experienced earthquakes before, but never like that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was still relatively new at City College\u2019s dispatch, but she provided much needed assistance to ensure everyone&#8217;s safety. \u201cWe worked late in the evening to make sure everybody was evacuated and there weren\u2019t any classes,\u201d recalls Teresa. \u201cIt was a very busy night. There was some minor structural damage, but I don\u2019t remember anybody being hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1992, she heard they were going to eliminate the evening dispatch shift she had. So, Teresa applied for a classified Admissions and Records position, and she has been in the Admissions and Records (A&amp;R) office ever since. In 2016, she was promoted to Director of A&amp;R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In the 1990\u2019s, Teresa got married<\/strong> and had two children, Vanessa and John. City College had a Child Development Center (CDC) then, so she was conveniently able to drop her children off at the beginning of her workday and pick them up in the afternoon. The CDC provided a safe place for her children to play with other kids and had a structured preschool, too, with a curriculum that helped children prepare for kindergarten and gain basic reading skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"5412\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/the-roar.net\/?attachment_id=5412\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/VanessaTeresaPaiz.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SAMSUNG-SM-G900A&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1427996221&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;1.2&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"VanessaTeresaPaiz\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/VanessaTeresaPaiz.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/VanessaTeresaPaiz.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Vanessa and Teresa Paiz\" class=\"wp-image-5412\" title=\"Picture of Vanessa and her mother Teresa\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/VanessaTeresaPaiz.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/VanessaTeresaPaiz.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/VanessaTeresaPaiz.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/VanessaTeresaPaiz.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/VanessaTeresaPaiz.jpg?resize=1180%2C664&amp;ssl=1 1180w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/VanessaTeresaPaiz.jpg?resize=1200%2C675&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/VanessaTeresaPaiz.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Vanessa and Teresa Paiz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt was wonderful,\u201d reminisces Teresa, \u201cbecause I got to have my kids right there, entrusted with instructors I knew not only as teachers but as colleagues. I trusted my kids there with the services they provided. If they needed me, say if my kids were sick, I was right there. Also, some of the Early Childhood Education college students were able to get their hands-on hours completed there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vanessa and John Paiz remember going to the CDC even though they were very young. \u201cI remember one time they took us outside to have a little Mother\u2019s Day photoshoot,\u201d Vanessa says. \u201cThey put me in a little dress and took a picture of us to give our moms. My mom still has the picture to this day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her younger brother John recalls with a smile, \u201cI remember running away from the teachers. They had escalators over there, so I remember running up them and the teachers saying, \u2018oh, don\u2019t run!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Vanessa and John are less than two years apart in age. They grew up close to their mother\u2019s childhood home near Alum Rock Park in San Jos\u00e9. They both graduated from Piedmont High School, and both were encouraged by their mom to go to City College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John remembers his mom telling him that for his first two years \u201cit\u2019s basically the same classes at San Jos\u00e9 State as are here at City. It will be a lot better for you, and you\u2019ll get a lot more experience going to City. What I can tell from my time at San Jos\u00e9 State verses City, I feel I got a lot more help from City College, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>After Vanessa graduated high school<\/strong>, she wasn\u2019t sure what she wanted to study. City College became a great place for her to explore her options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>\u201cI\u2019m seeing all of these little five year-olds go on Zoom for class, and I just think, \u2018oh, this is way different from when I started school!\u2019<\/p><cite>Vanessa Paiz on preschool classes during the pandemic in spring 2020<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t think I was ready to go to an actual university yet,\u201d says Vanessa. \u201cI didn\u2019t know what I wanted to do, or what I wanted for a major. I started going to City and my mom and I would talk about what I should study. I started going in the path of Early Childhood Development which is funny to me, because I started at the preschool daycare center there. Now I\u2019m a preschool teacher because of City College. It\u2019s very crazy to think about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vanessa graduated with two associate degrees from City College \u2013 a transfer degree in Early Childhood Development and a Behavioral Science degree. She transferred and received her bachelor\u2019s degree from San Jos\u00e9 State. In February 2020, she started at Kidango in San Jos\u00e9 where she worked with her first preschool class. She was there only a few weeks before everyone had to transition to remote learning for her preschool students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m seeing all of these little five year-olds go on Zoom for class,\u201d states Vanessa, \u201cand I just think, \u2018oh, this is way different from when I started school!\u2019 A couple months ago, we started up (in person) again. The only thing that\u2019s difficult is always wearing a mask, especially when the kids say, \u2018teacher, race me!\u2019 You\u2019re running back and forth, breathing so hard wearing a mask when they don\u2019t have a mask. It\u2019s difficult, but it\u2019s very fun, too. I love all of my kids.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For John, he knew he wanted<\/strong> to study and have a career in the creative side of advertising. John transferred to San Jos\u00e9 State in advertising, and he was able to get an internship with City College\u2019s Director of Marketing and Public Relations, Daniel Garza. When John was attending City College, he didn\u2019t see much in the way of marketing. Yet, after John went to State, Garza was hired, and John started noticing the effects of good advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>SJCC Brilliant<\/em> wasn\u2019t really a thing,\u201d John recollects. \u201cAnd I never knew they were giving away free books. Daniel would ask me to go to these classes and take pictures of the whole class getting free books. After taking pictures, I told everyone in the class, \u2018you guys are lucky, because I don\u2019t think I had this when I was going here.\u2019 It was so cool City was doing this. I remember just being impacted by seeing all of that happen. They are doing a lot more than before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"844\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"5416\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/the-roar.net\/?attachment_id=5416\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?fit=4386%2C5322&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"4386,5322\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1614269347&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"John.Paiz_-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?fit=844%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?resize=844%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"John Paiz graduate of San Jos\u00e9 State University December 2020\" class=\"wp-image-5416\" title=\"Picture of John Paiz as a San Jos\u00e9 State University graduate in December 2020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?resize=844%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 844w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?resize=247%2C300&amp;ssl=1 247w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?resize=768%2C932&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?resize=1266%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1266w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?resize=1688%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1688w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?resize=1180%2C1432&amp;ssl=1 1180w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?resize=1200%2C1456&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?w=2340&amp;ssl=1 2340w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/the-roar.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/John.Paiz_-2.jpg?w=3510&amp;ssl=1 3510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 844px) 100vw, 844px\" \/><figcaption>John Paiz graduating from SJSU December 2020<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John received his bachelor\u2019s from SJSU in December 2020 and is working with a small local marketing firm to gain experience to work with bigger firms as an advertising creative.
