Main St. (Walmart Shopping Center) Counseling Center Education: It all counts During my first semester as a student at Shasta College many years ago, I was politely told by an administrator that I didn't belong there. She was right. I was keeping a seat warm, but it was only because I had nothing else to do. I lacked purpose and direc- tion. That same week, I enlisted in the military and 35 years later I'm fortunate to be back at Shasta College — right here in Tehama County. In 35 years, life happened and expectations changed — opportunities to experience new cultures and develop new skills and meet new people with interests dif- ferent from my own. I learned to expect more of myself, choose my friends carefully, be productive and develop a reputation I could defend. I learned that sometimes it's OK to go out on a limb because that's where the fruit is. I learned to for- give and tolerate the slightest imperfections in others. I learned more than how to just color within the lines. I learned to explore and take an occasional chance. And I learned to value and remember the people that enter your life. It was all part of my education — some formal and some not-so- formal. But it all counted. Yes, the military was one part, but a big part, of this thing called education. So were the carnivals in Southern California. And the farming and fish hatchery work in Idaho. And the machine shop in Los Angeles. And the oil- fields and manufactur- ing job in Bakers- field. And the guy I met on the plane from Batesville Casket Company. And the Navajo clan that "adopt- ed" me in Arizona. Very little of this ever showed up on my college tran- scripts, but it all counted. For the past six years, career-technical training, the mili- tary, an apprenticeship program or on-the-job internships, it takes all of us. Tom Orr I've been fortunate to be a part of this community and proud to be a small part of a community-wide movement to transform Tehama County by championing higher expectations: Expect More Tehama. I invite you to join it. We owe it to ourselves, our family, our friends, our casual acquaintances, and our community to provide paths that lead to greater educa- tional and career opportunities — opportunities that count. Whether the path leads to higher education, If you're a parent, ensure your student knows college is avail- able and what it takes to get there regardless of whether he or she might go now or later. If you're a business per- son, provide an opportu- nity for mentoring, internships or simply an occasional job shadow- ing. If you're an educa- tor, continue bringing relevance into your classroom. Everyone has something to con- tribute. It all counts. We are products of our environ- ment, and we have the opportunity to change that environment if it's not producing the results we expect or only dream of. By the way, the nice thing about dreams is that if they don't come true you can always dream new ones. Expect more, Tehama. Tom Orr is the dean of the Extended Education Division for Shasta College.
