Jovany is from King City, California, and a first-year student at California State University, Monterey Bay.  "I am a business major. I am the youngest of 4 siblings and I am also the first one in my family that will graduate from college. I eventually would like to own my own business and become a management consultant. My love of creating art derives from silence. There is not a word that I have to say when art speaks. As a person who always talks a bit too fast or even stutters a bit too much, art never fails to make itself clear. That is my love for art. The inspiration for this art piece came from a 5-minute meditation. During those five minutes, I could only think of one thing; Why? Why am I continuing school? Why am I here? Why do I feel the way I do? These are questions that I ask myself every so often to further my drive and motivation. I’m doing this for my parents who’ve already made so many sacrifices. I’m here to be the best person I can be and help others. I feel motivated because I have an opportunity that I will not allow to pass me by. CAMP has always and will always continue to feel like family. The continuous support and motivation I receive from this program is indescribable. The program is filled with so many people who really care to connect with you and your situation. Thank you, CAMP.
