My name is Niki Roberts, and I am a transfer student from Columbia College in Sonora, California, which is my hometown. My major is English, and at Cal Lutheran, I plan to obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree, a Master of Arts degree, and a single-subject teaching credential to become a high school English teacher. I have made the President’s List at Columbia College every semester that I have been enrolled, and I was recently selected as one of the top eight students at Columbia College by the faculty, receiving “Student of the Year” recognition. I am additionally a member of the Phi Theta Kappa honors society. I have worked at an after school and vacation child care program called P.M. Club for two years and have received consistent promotions throughout my time there. Roughly six months ago, I stepped into the “Head Teacher” position, which put me second-in-command for the program. During the summer of 2018, I went on a mission trip to Ensenada, Mexico. On this trip, we visited a women's shelter, a children's shelter, and a local elementary school near Ensenada. Our tasks for the week included helping with construction projects at our partner church in Ensenada, playing with all of the kids at the three programs we visited, giving the women at the shelter manicures and pedicures, and taking the children at the elementary school to a local zoo. Before the trip, we loaded donations of clothing items, shoes, and toys into a trailer to haul to Ensenada to donate to the programs we visited.
