CAMP success story

Ezequiel Lopez was born in Michoacán, Mexico. His family immigrated to Oregon when he was only three months old and they settled in Cornelius Oregon. Growing up Ezequiel had many family members and friends who were gang members, but he chose not to be part of that life. His family instilled in him a respect for education and wanted him to pursue a post-secondary degree. Ezequiel realized at a young age what a huge sacrifice his parents had made in coming to this country and he did not want to make a decision without knowing how it would affect his family. He applied to the PCC CAMP program and was accepted in during the 2007-08 academic year. According to Ezequiel, “CAMP helped me to put myself out there and not be afraid of interacting with people who are different from me. It opened a lot of opportunities, such as being able to participate in the CAMP/NIKE Professional Mentor Program and now finding jobs on the PCC Rock Creek campus”. Ezequiel would like to pursue a career in marketing, get a masters degree and ultimately a PhD in Psychology.
