To me Foothill was my last resort after having a giving birth to a sick baby but for me i knew i needed to obtain my high school diploma for me to succeed for me and my child's future overall what i took advantage of for resources and utilized was the family learning center. Its a great chance for young moms to relate to each other as well as gain new friendships and shoulders to lean on. as for the classroom setting, times weren't always great but when you ignored ignorance and minded your business you got your work done with each step bringing you one step if not ten steps closer to graduation foothill in general is great for those struggling wondering and troublesome minds to make it by and cross that stage without looking back back in regrets.
