Not only did he graduate from high school early but he also earned his Associate Degree from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.losmedanos.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Los Medanos Community College <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shortly after! How did Hector become so successful? Let\u2019s take a trip down memory lane \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #002d72;\"><em>Why Visions?<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 9th grade Hector was distracted, failing his classes and drifting off into the wrong crowd. <\/span><strong>He had goals and talents but the traditional public school model wasn\u2019t working for him<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He wanted to work with teachers that cared, in a <\/span><strong>flexible environment<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that allowed him to focus on his interests. After seeing an advertisement for Visions he decided to enroll in the <a href=\"https:\/\/crodev.site\/viedu_dev\/independent-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Independent Study<\/a> program. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #002d72;\"><em>Cars, College and a Caring Teacher<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what did Hector want to focus his time on? Cars! At the age of 10 Hector got his first project &#8211; build a dirt bike. If he could build it, he could ride it, and that\u2019s just what he did. After that, his passion for cars only grew. When he enrolled at Visions he discovered that <\/span><strong>he could take <a href=\"https:\/\/crodev.site\/viedu_dev\/support-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">community college<\/a> classes and receive assistance to pay for tuition and books<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. He immediately enrolled in the Automotive Technician program at Los Medanos College at the young age of 16.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cThe first impression [at Los Medanos College] was \u2018are you lost?\u2019 Everybody was just shocked \u2026 I was the only little kid there!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hector challenged himself. Due to the limited college class availability he took what he could including online, night, and advanced classes. His teacher, Josh Imler, his mom, and the staff at Visions and Los Medanos were there to help and support him along the way. Fast forward to today and Hector is close to graduating high school <\/span><em><strong>and<\/strong><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> receiving a college degree at only 18.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHector is a hardworking guy,\u201d said Josh. \u201cI call him a trailblazer; he took initiative to go through the community college program \u2026 I learned a lot through his experience.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #002d72;\"><em>What Does the Future Hold?<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hector plans to take even more automotive classes after receiving his first degree. His goal is to own and run a shop and towing company that specializes in brakes, suspensions, diagnostics and custom work. Visions is proud to be a part of Hector\u2019s success story and we wish him the best of luck with his future endeavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Download and share Hector&#8217;s story <a href=\"https:\/\/crodev.site\/viedu_dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Hector-O.-Final-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6152,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"categories":[391,395],"tags":[347,348,349,21,518,350,351,245,17,208],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
