November 2015 EOPS Quick
News
Happy Thanksgiving
It is an honor and privilege to work with our students in the role of Counselor and Instructor. I feel
fortunate to be able to come to work each day and do my hearts work as I guide students towards
meeting their academic goals.
Our entire team at EOPS is amazing and dedicated to the success of our students.
I continue to be inspired by the determination and courage our students demonstrate each day. Our
students are not only creating change in their lives but also in the lives of their families and future generations to come. As a first generation college student myself, I can relate to many of the challenges
they sometimes face. I like to remind students that all of the sacrifices they are making to complete
their education will be worth it in the end. Education is a powerful vehicle for growth. For me personally, higher education has allowed me to tap into my life's purpose and serve our students with compassion and gratitude. I continue to learn and grow each day and look forward to the future with EOPS!

Myra Andrade, EOPS Counseling Faculty
Rancho– MACC-205
Dear EOPS Students,
Monday-Friday
My name is Myra Andrade and I am currently serving
as an EOPS/CARE Counselor. I have worked at
Chaffey College since 2011 and have enjoyed every
year!
Chino– Main Instructional Building
I attended East Los Angeles College, completed my
general education requirements and transferred to
Chapman University to obtain a Bachelor of Art in
Criminal Justice. About a year after my bachelors I
began my Master of Science in Educational Counseling at the University of La Verne. I have benefitted
greatly from my education, I wake up every morning
to do what I love and that has brought a great deal of
personal as well as professional satisfaction.
Wednesday and Thursday
I truly enjoy working with EOPS/CARE students. I
identify myself with many of you since I too had to
balance a variety of roles while attending college. Not
only was I a first generation college student but I was
also a full time employee and a single mother. I
learned very quickly that obtaining my education was
going to require a lot of hard work and dedication.
Time: 3:00pm-4:00pm
Everyone has a story, allow your story to motivate and
empower those around you. Stay focused and always
remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Chaffey Rising Star
My name is Esmeralda Lopez. One of my greatest accomplishments was graduating with EOPS
from Chaffey College in spring of 2015. Graduating from Chaffey College was a great accomplishment for me because I am the first in my family to strive towards a higher education. I am currently a full time student at California State University San Bernardino. I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree in communication studies with an emphasis on public relations and minoring in Sociology. Helping others reach a higher education has always been a passion of mine, which makes
my job as an apprentice for EOPS rewarding. I would like to thank all of the counselors, staff
members, and peer advisors at EOPS for helping me reach my educational goals and ultimately
changing my entire life. My advice for other EOPS students is to keep striving towards success,
regardless of any situations that may occurs. There is a light at the end of the tunnel if you keep
trying and never give up!
