A day of Protest...

Thursday March 7th was a day of protest for the students and faculty here at CSUMB. Loud music, many students, professors,and signs raised in the air, all filled in front of the student service student. As I entered the area of protest, I was so shocked to see all the students who attended, and were involved with the protest. I was only able to stay for a hour or so, but within the short amount of time I was there I was able to get the chance to listen to some of the speeches from other fellow CSUMB students. Although I was not involved with the whole protest, I am still in support of the budget cuts for us students, as well as the professors. When it comes to my education I feel very strong for it, and with these budget cuts they are effecting my education, and I don't feel strong about it! Although I was not able to continue on with the protest that was taking place in downtown Monterey, my roommate did, and she was able to tell me all about her experience being down there with all of the other schools that joined. She mentioned that, " It was crazier then the one at CSUMB, there were so many people there to protest, and it was great to see all the support." I have to say in times like this which we are experiencing with these budget cuts it is great to see all the support and know I was part of this event, trying to improve this issue! I am glad I was able to join the experience, and enjoyed it at the same time!!
