Student Voice
Misael Castillo
Misael Castillo graduated from Norco College in 2013 with degrees in Communications,
Social and Behavioral Studies and Humanities, Philosophy and Art. Misael is is pursuing a law enforcement career after growing up in a crime-plagued
neighborhood. “I want to make a difference in my community,” Misael said.
Misael credits the Puente program for much of his success. He especially appreciates
Puente Counselor Zina Chacon, who he says always made time for him no matter how busy
she was. “Puente opened many doors and taught me that anything is possible,” Misael
said. “I have to say, every effort I have made has been worth it, and every minute
I have volunteered has made a difference in me and has taught me a lesson.”
