Testimonies from 2005-2006 ArtsBridge Scholars:
“It wasn’t until college that I realized that dedicating my time and talent has the potential to make a real difference in the lives of many. There is nothing more important that enriching the lives of youth and making them understand how important each and every one of them are.”
Erin Jacobs, ArtsBridge Scholar (Design/Media Arts)
“[Teaching for ArtsBridge] was one of the most emotionally overwhelming experiences of my life. The students were so eager and ready to learn, that they made my job effortless. I also realized how I never had the opportunity to learn dance or any art form growing up, and I feel so fortunate to be in the position to be a dance teacher to these students. These children reminded me of that first feeling I got when I took my first dance class in college … that raw, real, unforgettable energy that I hope I, and especially the children, never ever lose.”
Chisa Yamaguchi, ArtsBridge Scholar (World Arts and Cultures)
“Coming from Mexico to the United States was a very hard step for my family to overcome. I had no idea what awaited me on the other side, but one thing that I knew was that this new world was going to change our way of living … [Attending] the University of California, Los Angeles, has become not only a memory of the struggles to come to the United States, but, most importantly, I have gained the strength to see my dreams transform into realities. The ArtsBridge program has allowed me to make one of my dreams a reality, which is to teach and help our children.”
Guadalupe Rodriguez, ArtsBridge Scholar (Art)
