Carina is graduating this May from Cal State Fullerton with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and a minor in Anthropology. She fell in love with the campus after visiting it while doing college tours in her senior year of high school. From that moment she knew Fullerton was the school she would be going to. It was also an added bonus that Disneyland was only 20 minutes away from campus. In December 2013, she was accepted into Cal State Fullerton going in as a Business major. Soon after starting school in the fall of 2014, she knew business wasn’t the career path she wanted to be on, so she switched to criminal justice in her second semester there. From then on, she knew she made the right choice. Her favorite classes were mainly those that were either for her major or her minor, with the exception of a bowling class she took. Carina made many friends throughout her 4 years at Fullerton, but only a couple of them will be life long friends. Her favorite thing about college was being able to grow as a person and being able to make so many memories that she will be able to look back on. Another thing was to be able to go to Disneyland whenever she wanted to. She soon found out that Fullerton was nicknamed Cal State Disney because the majority of the people either had annual passes or worked for Disney. One of her biggest accomplishments was being able to get an internship with Anaheim Police Department in their Crime Analysis Unit. Carina plans to continue to explore Crime Analysis as a career path after she finishes her internship later this summer. Unlike high school graduation, college graduation is not something Carina is looking forward to because it means the end of a chapter. Even though she is proud that she was able to graduate in 4 years, she is still going to be sad when having to say goodbye. In the fall of this year, Carina will be starting the Crime Analysis Extension Program at Cal State Fullerton. Once she completes this program she will receive her certificate for Crime Analysis. This will start the next chapter of her life as she will be one step closer to becoming a Crime Analyst.
