"My name is Adriana Sanchez. I have been a student at Robbins School for the past two years. Thanks to my teacher, Becky Davies, and with her patience, today I know a little English. I can write it and speak it. Now, I know how to fill out forms and most important of all is that I can continue to study English to have a better life and understand better. Learning English has helped me feel different and have more self confidence."

“One Stop has given me sooo…much courage.  I was an out of work postal (injured) worker and I had just lost my job of 13 years due to reassessments. I was worried due to the fact I had no skills in the computer field and the world we live in there is No way you can be scared of a computer and survive.  Not if you want to work. And yes, I do.  So I would really like to thank Mr. David Moore for reassuring me and giving me the opportunity to learn and conquer!! Ta Da!”

"The Sutter County One Stop provides a great learning environment. The teachers and staff are very courteous and willing to do whatever it takes to help people accomplish the goals they may have set for themselves.

“Sutter County One Stop and their services are amazing! I’ve been here for around two years and the never stopped helping me. With their guidance I was able to gain my high school diploma. If you still don’t have your diploma or GED, I advise you to sign up. It was probably my favorite schooling. I definitely need to thank the staff at the Sutter County One Stop.”

“My name is Rachel Navar. I am currently a student at Sutter County One Stop. My goal is to obtain my GED and become a CNA. I took the CNA assessment and my scores were a little low so I was referred to Linda Scott’s remedial class. I achieved my needed scores in 2 months. I start my CNA class next month and look forward to my bright new future.”

“I feel great for being here! This school helps me a lot in improving my skills and increasing my knowledge. Teachers are very helpful and well supportive. They support me a lot in my studies. They divert my attention more to the subjects I am weak and struggling in. As a student, I feel that this course gives me a platform for my future.”

“Hi! My name is Silvia Vargas. I have been attending a Sutter County Adult Education class since October 2007. I am here to get my high school diploma. Since I have been attending this school I have made huge progress. I took my CAHSEE test and I missed it by 1 point. I hope I will pass this next time. I owe all this progress to Kathy and Linda, they are absolutely wonderful teachers. I love their way of teaching by solving problems and being patient to all of us in class. I love this school so I really owe it to everybody.”

Adriana Sanchez is a very hard working student with a delightful personality. She is always willing to help her classmates when she can, and she makes our team learning experience fun for everyone (including her teacher!). Adriana wants to master the English language and practices every day. She won a “Perfect Attendance” certificate last year.

Carolyn Schambach is the most recent recipient of the “I’m the Boss Award”, given to students who have overcome the fear of technology.  I remember reading her comments on the Background Knowledge Survey she filled out on her first day in the computer applications class: “I am afraid of messing up my family’s computer”.

Carolyn has progressed through keyboarding, Basic Windows, Basic Office, Intermediate Office, and is now on track for Microsoft Office Specialist certification. 

Carolyn has an excellent attendance record and is very diligent in completing whatever level she is working on. She has the certificates to prove it!

It has been a real pleasure having a student like Carolyn in my class.

Jesse Baxter, a recent High School graduate from Sutter County Adult Education, has overcome many obstacles to achieve his goal. Despite his adversities, Jesse maintains a cheerful, positive attitude. While his studies were not easy for him, he was patient with himself and those around him. He just kept plugging away at what he needed to do, asking questions when he needed help, and going over the material until he was clear about what he was required to do.

Jashanpreet Singh Sandhu, a recent immigrant from India, came to improve his basic skills and pass the GED. In talking with him, I found he really wanted his High School Diploma. An evaluation of his transcript showed that was a feasible goal, so Jashanpreet switched to the High School Diploma program.

In record speed (less than two months), he has completed two subjects with above average scores and is well into his third. With three courses left, to complete; Jashanpreet is well on his way to obtaining his High School Diploma.
