Ventura Co Library :: Ventura COHS Success Story

Ventura COHS Success Story

With Library’s Support, 52-year-old Mom of Four Overcomes Obstacles to Finally Earn Her High School Diploma

Venco Library News: 9.13.2018 by Scribbles

Ventura County Library’s Career Online High School program helps adult student improve her family’s life.

Tammy Marquez always wanted to earn her high school diploma, but she was worried that reaching her fifties meant it was too late to achieve this educational milestone. Early motherhood caused her to drop out of high school in her teens, but Tammy knew that was no excuse to stop her education, especially since her family had grown by three more boys since then. Once her eldest son reached the age of 20, Tammy was motivated to consider non-traditional options so she could be a role model for her children.

Several years later when she learned that Ventura County Library offered Career Online High School to residents 19-years-old and older, Tammy knew this was the way to pick up where she left off. The accredited program enables students to earn their high school diploma — not a GED — while gaining real-world career skills along with a career certificate, all in 18 months or less. The only requirement for residents to enter the program is complete a 15-question online self-assessment, participate via an in-person interview and then pass a 2-week pre-requisite course with a grade of 70% of higher.  READ MORE >>

To be considered for the COHS program, applicants must:

  * Be an adult aged 19 or older

  * Be a resident of Ventura County Library service area

  * Have a library account in good standing

       (or be willing to get a Ventura County Library card)

  * Have successfully completed an online self-assessment and a two-week

       prerequisite course, followed by an in-person interview

Huntington Beach Library :: My Summer Adventure

My Summer Adventure

Literacy Volunteers-HBPL Blog: 8.31.2018 by Michelle Wang

My family moved to the United States five years ago when I was a freshman in high school. Last summer I went back to China for a two month vacation. I looked forward to seeing my family and friends. I especially looked forward to having “real Chinese food!”

Getting to China was so exciting. This is the first time I traveled by myself. Once I got through security I was on my own. I took care of my luggage on my own. When I got to Beijing I had to change planes all by myself. Finally I met my Aunt in my hometown. (I’m not telling you its name because you probably couldn’t say it.)  I felt so proud of myself for getting there on my own.

I found my city had changed a lot. There were better and fancier shopping malls, like South Coast Plaza. I had a lot of fun with my friends going to the shopping mall. Another thing that had changed was my middle school. They had totally rebuilt my school and now it looks really different. I couldn’t go visit because it was summertime and the school was closed.  READ MORE >>
