Tucson College Night 2014<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Tucson College Fair took place on the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 30 at the Tucson Convention Center, and several thousand Southern Arizona high school students\u2014mostly seniors\u2014took advantage of the more than 200 colleges present to answer questions about their schools.<\/p>\n

Mr. Ruben Romero, Pueblo\u2019s College and Career counselor, said, \u201cIt\u2019s always important for students to make a face-to-face contact when meeting a college representative. Students always have great information about dozens of colleges at these fairs. The more options students have, the more prepared they will be for post-high school life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Principal Dr. Augustine Romero said, \u201cIt is really important for our students\u2014especially our seniors\u2014to attend the College Fair because they need to be prepared for the next level after high school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides all of the Arizona colleges and universities in attendance, many out of state colleges also had informational booths available for students.<\/p>\n

Pueblo senior Gelsey Grijalva, one of the estimated more than 50 Pueblo seniors who attended the Tucson College Fair, said, \u201cThere were so many colleges there\u2014it almost was overwhelming! But, there are colleges for everybody out there.\u201d She paused and said, \u201cI\u2019m still not sure of where I\u2019m attending college, but at least I know there are opportunities out there for me and the rest of my peers who might also be undecided about their futures.\u201d<\/p>\n

She paused and said, \u201cI felt confident when I left the fair\u2014it was like a wake-up call for me being a senior because now I realize how quickly this year is flying by. Up until now, I\u2019ve been in denial about being a senior. The College Fair was definitely a slap in the face\u2014like, \u2018Wake up, Gelsey!\u2019<\/p>\n

Another Pueblo senior, Gabriela Gastelum, who attended the College Fair, said, \u201cI was able to get information about a few schools\u2014from a few film and art schools in New York City. I really want to major in broadcast journalism or anything associated with journalism. I\u2019m so ready for the real world and I\u2019m not afraid of graduating.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
