Sarah Gadalla
EOPS and CalWORKs
Student Spotlight (2020)
Hello, my name is Sarah Gadalla, I have been attending Norco College for three years. I am a chemistry pre-med student transferring to UCR in the fall of 2020. I plan on pursuing my passion for helping others by becoming an optometrist. When I first came to Norco College, I was new to the area and had no idea where anything was. I was someone who would leave campus as soon as my classes ended because I was too shy to interact with others. I heard about the amazing resources EOPS provided so it became one of the first programs I joined. Through EOPS I branched out and became more knowledgeable of the endless resources and support the campus has. I joined PTK, The Honors Program, became a summer advantage mentor, and somehow became the President of the Associated Students of Norco College. It’s crazy to think how far I’ve come in such a short amount of time. My experience at Norco College has reignited the passion I have for helping others, and I’m so excited for the next chapter. EOPS was truly the gateway to all the other programs on campus. I am so glad I got to be a part of this group and I will forever cherish the endless support and mentoring EOPS has provided.
