“The biggest lesson Peralta taught me was to Network. Networking is so important on all levels, after you graduate it is truly who you know not what you know and Peralta helped me understand that. The best advice I could give to any student entering the Peralta Colleges is to Network network network. You won’t regret it!”
“When I got to Oakland, I knew that I was not going to just look for a job and make a few dollars,” Lolo said, now studying political science at the University of California, Berkeley. “The better education you have the better job you can get, and the kind of work I wanted to do required an education.”
“The lessons I value most from Laney and Alameda are about the importance of remembering your roots, remembering to take that education that transforms you and give back to the community- and make it better for the next generation after you. “
