Maricopa Now - October 2012

THE FOLLOWING PROGRAM IS PRESENTED WITH
CLOSED CAPTIONING AVAILABLE.
THIS IS A SERVICE OF MARICOPA COLLEGES
TELEVISION, CHANNEL 115.
FROM THE MARICOPA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
CAMPUSES, TO YOUR HOME.
THIS IS MARICOPA NOW.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE STORIES YOU'LL SEE.
A NEW BUILDING AT SOUTH MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
INCORPORATES ALL THE INGREDIENTS FOR STUDENT SUCCESS.
ARTISTS EXPRESS THEIR CREATIVITY AT SCOTTSDALE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE'S 13TH ANNUAL DRAWING EXHIBITION.
PLUS, IT'S A PHYSICAL AND MENTAL WORK OUT FOR THESE
YOUNGSTERS AT ESTRELLA MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
AND THERE'S SO MUCH MORE ON THIS ADDITION OF
MARICOPA NOW.
NOW FROM STUDIO A AT SCOTTSDALE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE, HERE'S YOUR HOST KIM GOETZ.
WELCOME TO OUR SHOW.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
MORE STUDENTS ARE USING SOUTH MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY
COLLEGE'S LEARNING CENTER NOW THAT IT'S LOCATED IN A
BIGGER AND MORE ACCESSIBLE SPOT ON CAMPUS.
MARICOPA NOW'S COURTNEY CARLMARK TAKES US INSIDE
WHERE A NEW CONCEPT IS ALSO HELPING STUDENTS SUCCEED.
STUDENTS AT SOUTH MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE ARE
WALKING INTO A ONE-STOP-SHOP FOR STUDENT SUCCESS.
INSIDE THE NEW LEARNING CENTER, THE MODERN LOOK
AND OPEN SPACE MAKE FOR A COMFORTABLE AND INVITING
PLACE TO STUDY, BUT A NEW CONCEPT IS ALSO CATCHING
THE EYES OF STUDENTS.
WHAT USED TO BE KNOWN AS TUTORING, IS NOW BEING
CALLED ACADEMIC SUCCESS COACHING.
ACADEMIC SUCCESS COACHING IS FOR ALL STUDENTS,
WHETHER THEY ARE STELLAR 4.0 AND ON TRACK TO
TRANSFER OR THOSE THAT ARE STRUGGLING THAT NEED A
LITTLE BIT MORE ASSISTANCE.
FRESHMAN RAHIM MUHAMMAD HAS BIG DREAMS OF BECOMING
A MECHANICAL ENGINEER, WHICH MEANS HE'S TAKING ON
A LARGE LOAD.
I'M TAKING ENGLISH, MATH, CHEMISTRY, AND
COMMUNICATIONS.
WHEN HE'S NOT IN CLASS, HE'S AT THE LEARNING
CENTER GETTING ONE-ON-ONE HELP FROM STUDENT SUCCESS
COACHES LIKE ANDREA BANKS.
WHEN I STARTED SCHOOL, WE HAD TO EITHER SINK OR SWIM.
AND WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS, WE DIDN'T HAVE MANY
PEOPLE TEACHING US WHAT IT TAKES TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN COLLEGE.
BANKS WANTS ALL HER STUDENTS TO GRADUATE, SO
SHE HELPS THEM MAKE GOALS AND STICK WITH THEM.
WHEN I SEE THEM GETTING OFF TRACK OR GETTING OFF
OF THEIR EDUCATIONAL PLAN, I MAKE SURE THAT I STEP
IN, INTERVENE, AND HELP THEM OUT TO GRADUATE AND
TO SUCCEED.
IN HER STUDENT SUCCESS WORKSHOPS, BANKS TEACHES
SOME IMPORTANT LESSONS ON GETTING ORGANIZED AND HOW
TO JUGGLE SCHOOL AND LIFE, SOMETHING SOPHOMORE JAMA
CHER IS ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH.
WORK.
SCHOOL TIME.
TIME TO STUDY.
TIME YOU KNOW, TO HAVE -- TO GO OUT YOU KNOW, LIKE
SOCIAL LIFE AND ALL THAT.
SHE WILL TELL YOU LIKE WHAT TO DO AND WHAT NOT.
JAMA, LIKE MANY STUDENTS HERE IS TRYING TO MAKE THE
MOST OF HIS TIME IN COLLEGE.
BALANCING A PART-TIME JOB WITH A FULL LOAD OF 6 CLASSES.
SO HOW DOES HE DO IT ALL?
YOU GUESSED IT, THE LEARNING CENTER.
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY AND ANATOMY, BIOCHEMISTRY,
STATISTICS, PHYSICS.
I WAS TAKING ALL THAT IN ONE SEMESTER AND I GOT ALL A'S.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, THIS LITTLE PLACE IS REALLY A
LOT OF HELP.
NO ONE SAYS COLLEGE IS GOING TO BE EASY, BUT
THESE STUDENTS ARE FINDING OUT THE DOORS AT THE
LEARNING CENTER ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO GET THE HELP THEY
NEED BEFORE STEPPING OUT INTO THE REAL WORLD.
FOR MARICOPA NOW, I'M COURTNEY CARLMARK.
STUDENTS DON'T NEED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO USE
THE LEARNING CENTER AND IT'S TOTALLY FREE.

WE PROUDLY PAY TRIBUTE TO DOCTOR ELIAS
PROVENCIO-VASQUEZ DURING HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH
FOR HIS CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE FIELD OF NURSING.
JESUS HERNANDEZ INTRODUCES US TO THIS GATEWAY
COMMUNITY COLLEGE ALUMNUS WHO ATTRIBUTES MUCH OF HIS
SUCCESS TO HIS COLLEGE EXPERIENCE.
THE NURSING PROGRAM AT GATEWAY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
HELPED LAUNCH THE CAREER OF DR. ELIAS
PROVENCIO-VASQUEZ.
HE CREDITS THE DEDICATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE
TEACHERS FOR HIS SUCCESS AS A STUDENT AND AS A
NURSING PROFESSIONAL.
DR. PROVENCIO-VASQUEZ DISCOVERED HIS PASSION FOR
NURSING WHILE WORKING AS A DISHWASHER AT A PHOENIX HOSPITAL.
HIS PASSION DROVE HIM TO BECOME THE FIRST HISPANIC
MALE IN THE NATION TO RECEIVE A PHD IN NURSING
AND BECOME THE DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF NURSING.
TODAY I AM HERE TO SHARE MY PERSONAL STORY AND HOW
IT ALL BEGAN AT GATEWAY COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
THE PLACE THAT SHAPED ME, GAVE ME CONFIDENCE, AND
LAUNCHED MY CAREER TRAJECTORY.
THE PLACE THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE.
RECENTLY DR. PROVENCIO-VASQUEZ WAS
THE HONORED KEYNOTE SPEAKER DURING GATEWAY'S
FACULTY INSERVICE DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES.
HE SPOKE ABOUT THE VALUE OF AN EDUCATION AND ABOUT
HIS PARENTS COMING TO THIS COUNTRY LOOKING FOR A
BETTER LIFE.
ALTHOUGH EDUCATION WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO MY
FAMILY, FINANCIAL CHALLENGES WERE PART OF
EVERYDAY LIVING.
NONE OF MY SIBLINGS WERE ABLE TO ATTEND COLLEGE
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE GETTING A JOB AND MAKING
MONEY HAD A GREATER REWARD THAN THE LONG TERM
GRATIFICATION OF A COLLEGE DEGREE.
AS HE REFLECTED ON HIS DAYS AS A STUDENT,
DR. PROVENCIO-VASQUEZ EMPHASIZED THE QUALITY OF
TEACHERS AND STAFF ALL ACROSS THE MARICOPA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT.
HE BELIEVED IT IS BECAUSE OF THE DEVOTION OF THE
TEACHERS THAT SO MANY ARE ABLE TO SUCCEED AND GO ON
TO FIND THEIR PLACE IN THE WORK FORCE.
THE IMPORTANCE AND THE MESSAGE THAT I WANTED TO
DELIVER TODAY, THE ONLY ONE MESSAGE THAT I WANTED
TO DELIVER TODAY IS THAT THEY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
THAT THEY MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ALL OF THE
STUDENTS THAT THEY COME IN CONTACT WITH AND THEY MAKE
A DIFFERENCE IN STUDENTS BELIEVING IN THEIR
POTENTIAL AND THAT THEY COULD BE SUCCESSFUL.
DR. PROVENCIO-VASQUEZ ALSO STRESSED THE VALUE OF
SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM.
AS A WAY TO SHOW HIS SUPPORT, HE HAS DECIDED TO
SET UP A SCHOLARSHIP IN HIS NAME IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE MARICOPA COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOUNDATION.
IT IS HIS WAY OF GIVING BACK AND HELPING OTHER
STUDENTS ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS.
I'M JESUS HERNANDEZ REPORTING FOR MARICOPA NOW.
COMING UP ON MARICOPA NOW, THE FORCE IS WITH THESE
YOUNG JEDI'S AS THEY RUN AND JUMP THEIR WAY TO
FITNESS, STAY WITH US.
GOOD MORNING CLASS.
WELCOME TO DRAWING 111.

FOR AIR TIMES, GO TO MARICOPA.EDU/MCTV.
TEACHING IS AN INCREDIBLY REWARDING EXPERIENCE FOR ME.
HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPIRE, SUPPORT, AND
CHALLENGE MY STUDENTS IS REALLY REWARDING AND I'M
VERY LUCKY TO BE IN THIS PROFESSION BECAUSE I LOVE
WHAT I DO.
YOU REALIZE THAT 49 MILLION AMERICANS STRUGGLE
WITH HUNGER?
THAT'S 1 OUT OF EVERY 6 AMERICANS.
THESE PEOPLE ARE AROUND US EVERYDAY.
THEY'RE OUR FRIENDS.
THEY'RE OUR COWORKERS.
THEIR KIDS GO TO SCHOOL WITH OUR KIDS.
SOMETIMES WE'RE NOT EVEN AWARE THAT THEY'RE STRUGGLING.
THIS PROBLEM IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.
BUT SO IS THE SOLUTION.
PLAY A ROLE IN ENDING HUNGER.

WHAT I LOOK FOR MOST IN AN INSTRUCTOR IS SOMEONE WHO
IS PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT THEY TEACH.
THERE'S NOTHING BETTER THAN LEAVING A CLASS AND
FEELING INSPIRED.
AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER IN LIFE WE HAVE ALL WANTED
TO GIVE UP AND NO ONE UNDERSTANDS THIS BETTER
THAN ONE MESA COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT.
LISA ACQUAFREDDA SHARES AN INSPIRATIONAL STORY ABOUT
A COLLEGE WOMEN WHO HAS TURNED HER PAST OF TRIAL
AND TRIBULATION INTO TRIUMPH.
WELL, EVERY TIME I SEW I ALWAYS THINK OF HER.
I CAN JUST HEAR HER, KIND OF IN THE BACK OF MY MIND
YOU KNOW, TELLING ME HOW TO DO IT PROPERLY.
CHRISTINE BEGAYE REMEMBERS HER MOM WHEN SHE SEWS.
IT'S SOMETHING I MISS HEARING.
BOTH HER PARENTS PASSED AWAY WHEN SHE WAS YOUNG.
HER MOTHER DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT.
A NAVAJO WORD THEY WOULD CALL ALL THEIR CHILDREN IS
-- WHICH MEANS YOU KNOW, MY CHILD.
MY LITTLE ONE.
AND YOU KNOW THEY BOTH WOULD CALL ME THAT ALL THE TIME.
WHILE CHRISTINE CAN'T ERASE THE PAST, SHE CAN
ONLY LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE.
CHRISTINE FINDS STRENGTH THROUGH SEWING.
SHE REMEMBERS SPENDING TIME SEWING WITH HER MOM
JUST LIKE SHE DOES NOW WITH HER LITTLE GIRL.
IT'S KIND OF A FLASH BACK.
BECAUSE I GET AFTER HER THE SAME WAY MY MOM GOT
AFTER ME.
LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER SHE IS AN ARTIST AT HEART
AND SEWS WHAT SHE LOVES.
SHE CREATED THIS JINGLE DRESS FOR HER DAUGHTER TO WEAR.
A JINGLE DRESS IS A TRADITIONAL NATIVE
AMERICAN GARMENT THAT IS CREATED AND WORN DURING
CELEBRATIONS.
WE'RE NATIVE AMERICANS.
WE GET TOGETHER DURING A SOCIAL GATHERING WHICH IS
CALLED A POW WOW.
SO THE JINGLE DRESS IS KIND OF SOMETHING I DANCED
WITH WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND ITS SOMETHING I WANTED
HER TO HAVE SOME PRIDE IN.
CHRISTINE'S JINGLE DRESS HELPED HER RECEIVE A SCHOLARSHIP.
YOU CAN SEE HOW SHE PERSONALIZED THE DRESS
WITH HER OWN FAMILY AND YOU KNOW, YOU CAN SEE THE
LOVE IN THE -- IN THE DRESS.
HER BACKGROUND GROWING UP AND HER LOVE FOR HER
CULTURE IS INSPIRING OTHERS.
LIKE CHRISSIE, SHE COULD BE MY DAUGHTER, YOU KNOW.
AND THROUGH THE NAVAJO WAY OUR CULTURE, LIKE I SAID
YOU KNOW, I COULD BE HER MOTHER AND WITH HER LITTLE
DAUGHTER KYJA, I COULD BE HER GRANDMA.
AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS STORY TRULY MOVING.
LORETTA HAS TAKEN CHRISTINE UNDER HER WING.
AND IT FEELS GOOD TO HAVE SOMEONE WATCHING OVER ME.
SHE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF STRUGGLES YOU KNOW WITH
NOT HAVING A MOM.
YOU KNOW, AND SHE'S A SINGLE MOM AND I THINK
THAT'S HOW SHE AND I CONNECTED.
LORETTA ENCOURAGES CHRISTINE TO TAKE HER
EDUCATION SERIOUSLY.
SHE HAS TAKEN BUSINESS CLASSES.
WE TALKED AGAIN ABOUT THIS AND SHE WANTS TO GO BACK
INTO FASHION.
SHE WANTS TO START HER OWN BUSINESS AND I THINK SHE'S
GOING TO DO AN EXCELLENT JOB.
SHE LIGHTS UP THE ROOM AS YOU SEE.
AND SHE'S VERY DEDICATED TO HER STUDIES.
VERY THOUGHTFUL.
VERY THOROUGH.
CHRISTINE HAS FOUND PEACE IN HER KITCHEN WHERE SHE
SEWS AND THANKS THE PEOPLE WHO'VE SUPPORTED HER TO
PURSUE A DEGREE IN FASHION.
MOST STORIES ARE WRITTEN WITH WORDS ON PAPER, BUT
FOR CHRISTINE, SHE WRITES HER FUTURE WITH A NEEDLE
AND THREAD.
FOR MARICOPA NOW, I'M LISA ACQUAFREDDA.
THIS IS MARICOPA NEWS LOG.

THEIR MODO IS GO FAR CLOSE TO HOME.
AND THE FLAGSHIP COLLEGE OF THE MARICOPA COMMUNITY
COLLEGES DISTRICT, PHOENIX COLLEGE, HAS GIVEN
STUDENTS THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE LAST 90 YEARS.
WE HAVE A VERY STRONG ALUMNI ORGANIZATION.
22,000 MEMBERS STRONG AND THOSE ALUMNI MEMBERS TO
THIS DAY REMEMBER THIS INSTITUTION AND HOW IT
EFFECTED THEM AND CHANGED THEIR LIVES.
TODAY, PHOENIX COLLEGE SERVES NEARLY 30,000
STUDENTS FROM OVER 100 COUNTRIES WHO SPEAK OVER
50 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE FINEST FEATURES OF THE INSTITUTION.
WE REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, WE EDUCATE A
VERY DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATION.
WE ALSO PROBABLY SERVE AS A HISPANIC SERVING
INSTITUTION BECAUSE 34% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE LATINO.
WHILE THE CAMPUS REMAINS RICH IN HISTORY, PC
CONTINUES TO EVOLVE MEETING STUDENT, INDUSTRY,
AND COMMUNITY NEEDS.
THE ADDITION OF AN AWARD WINNING FINE ARTS BUILDING
ON CAMPUS IS AN INSPIRATION TO STUDENT
LEARNING.
WHETHER THEIR CREATIVITY IS SPARKED WITHIN A
STATE-OF-THE-ART STUDIO CLASSROOM OR OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.
AT THE PC DOWNTOWN CAMPUS, A NEW E-COURTROOM PROVIDES
PARALEGAL STUDY STUDENTS RARE HANDS ON TRAINING.
NICHOLAS COOKSEY CAME TO PC SPECIFICALLY FOR THE
BAR ACCREDITED PROGRAM.
WHAT THEY TEACH AND HOW THEY APPLY IT IS, I THINK
REALISTIC TO TODAY'S WORLD.
IT CERTAINLY IS REALISTIC IN THE CLASSROOM SO THAT
TO ME IS A HUGE, HUGE OPPORTUNITY.
FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS, THE INTERPRETER PREPARATION
PROGRAM HAS BEEN THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND IN
MARICOPA COUNTY.
EDUCATING THE STUDENTS WHO BECOME THE BRIDGE BETWEEN
THE HEARING AND DEAF COMMUNITIES.
THEY MAKE A BIG CHALLENGE FOR US.
THEY SAY HERE'S THE BAR AND TRY TO REACH IT.
AND THEN THEY HELP US ALONG WITH THAT.
THAT PASSION FOR STUDENT SUCCESS IS ONE OF THE
HALLMARKS OF THE INSTITUTION.
THE WAY THAT OUR FACULTY AND STAFF REACH OUT TO
STUDENTS, THEY CARE ABOUT THEM.
THEY TREAT THEM AS FAMILY MEMBERS.
IT CAN BE SEEN FROM THE CLASSROOM TO THE KITCHEN
WHERE ASPIRING CHEFS ARE LEARNING THEIR SKILLS IN
THE PC CULINARY CAFE.
AND ONTO THE PLAYING FIELD, WHERE THE BEARS ARE
KNOWN FOR THEIR NATIONALLY RANKED ATHLETIC PROGRAMS.
I AM ACTUALLY REALLY IMPRESSED WITH PHOENIX
COLLEGE AND THE PROFESSORS AND THE FACULTY AND THE
ADJUNCT FACULTY, IT'S PRETTY AMAZING.
BECAUSE OF THE REPUTATION OF THE COLLEGE AND BECAUSE
OF OUR ACADEMIC STANDING, THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
STUDENTS WHO LOOK FOR PC AND COME TO PC.
WILL YOU BE ONE OF THEM?

IF YOU'VE EVER LOOKED AT A FAMOUS PAINTING AND BEEN
INSPIRED TO CREATE YOUR OWN, IT'S POSSIBLE.
REPORTER ANDREA ZAKRZEWSKI SHOWS YOU HOW.
THE MONA LISA AND THE LAST SUPPER BY LEONARDO DA
VINCI ARE TWO DRAWINGS THAT HAVE HELPED GIVE THE
WORLD AN APPRECIATION OF ART.
FUTURE DA VINCIS ARE LEARNING DRAWING
TECHNIQUES AT SCOTTSDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
ONE SUCH STUDENT IS SARAH DOBB.
I'VE BEEN DRAWING FOR FOREVER, BUT I GUESS I'VE
BEEN REALLY SERIOUS SINCE I WAS 15.
I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND I FINALLY DECIDED THAT THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT I WANTED TO DO SERIOUSLY.
SARAH'S WORK IS INSPIRED BY BOOKS AND PHILOSOPHIES.
I LIKE TO TELL A STORY.
YOU KNOW, I LIKE TO TAKE EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE AS I
GO ABOUT MY DAY.
THIS PIECE IS ALL ABOUT ENTERING THAT FINAL UTOPIA
ON A DEEPER LEVEL WHERE PEOPLE DON'T HURT ANYMORE
AND PEOPLE DON'T SUFFER ANYMORE.
ART INSTRUCTOR ROBERT YOU BELIEVES GIVING STUDENT
INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION IS IMPORTANT FOR THEM TO
DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS.
BASICALLY I DO WHAT'S CALLED A CUSTOMIZED
ASSIGNMENT BASICALLY FOR THE INDIVIDUALS, YOU KNOW GOALS.
SO, REALLY IT'S WHERE YOU'RE AT, WHERE YOU WANT
TO GO.
PROFESSOR YOU, HE'S REALLY HELPED ME TAKE MY ART
ABSOLUTELY TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
ROBERT STUDIED ART IN CHINA AND THROUGHOUT THE
UNITED STATES.
HE BRINGS HIS WORLDLY EXPERIENCES TO THE CLASSROOM.
IN BEGINNING AND ADVANCED DRAWING, STUDENTS LEARN
HOW TO USE CONTRAST, THE IMPORTANCE OF LINE
QUALITY, AND COMPOSITION.
SARAH'S ART RECEIVED RECOGNITION RECENTLY
WINNING THE JURORS CHOICE AWARD IN A STUDENT ART COMPETITION.
REGARDLESS OF SKILL LEVEL, ANYONE CAN TAKE ROBERT
YOU'S CLASS.
I STARTED REALLY IN ART AFTER I RETIRED FROM MANY,
MANY YEARS IN CORPORATE AMERICA.
I THINK THAT THIS IS A REALLY VALUABLE PROGRAM
FOR ANYBODY WHO'S AT ANY STAGE.
CINDY MILLIKIN NEVER THOUGHT SHE'D BE TAKING A
DRAWING CLASS.
THIS DRAWING CLASS KIND OF CAME OUT OF A DARE FOR ONE
ORGANIZATION THAT I WORK FOR.
THEY SUGGESTED I TAKE DRAWING.
CINDY HAS WON AWARDS AND IS MAKING PROGRESS WITH
SOMETHING SHE THOUGHT SHE COULDN'T DO.
AFTER ALL THEIR HARD WORK, STUDENTS IN MR. YOU'S
CLASS ARE EXHIBITING THEIR MOST RECENT WORK IN THE
13TH ANNUAL DRAWING EXHIBITION.
BY PARTICIPATING IN THE EXHIBITION, STUDENTS LEARN
HOW TO PRICE AND SELL THEIR WORK AND GAIN OTHER
VALUABLE EXPERIENCES.
MANY OF THESE ARTISTS HOPE THEY ARE ON THE PATH TO
MAKING A NAME FOR THEMSELVES.
FOR MARICOPA NOW, I'M ANDREA ZAKRZEWSKI.
SCOTTSDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE OFFERS BEGINNER
AND ADVANCED LEVEL DRAWING CLASSES.
OTHER ART CLASSES INCLUDE SCULPTURE, PAINTING,
PHOTOGRAPHY, AND MUCH MORE.

ESTRELLA MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY COLLEGE REACHES
OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND OFFERS KIDS COLLEGE FOR
YOUNGSTERS OF ALL AGES.
DEE ANN KINCAID HAS THE STORY OF ONE CLASS CALLED
JEDI FITNESS TRAINING CAMP.
PICK THE THRILL OF BEING A JEDI NIGHT AND MIX WITH
EQUAL PARTS OF MENTAL AND PHYSICAL WORKOUT AND YOU
HAVE THE JEDI FITNESS TRAINING CAMP.
IT'S A NEW KIDS COLLEGE CLASS WITH A STAR WARS
THEME FOR AGES FOUR THROUGH EIGHT AND IT
INCLUDES HOW TO HANDLE A LIGHT SABRE.
INSTRUCTOR MICHAEL GUNDERSON EXPLAINS HOW THE
IDEA OF A STAR WARS THEME CAME ABOUT.
MY SON IS FIVE AND HE'S REALLY INTERESTED IN STAR
WARS AND I WANTED TO HAVE AN IDEA THAT SOMETHING
WHERE CHILDREN COULD BASICALLY GET A LOT OF
EXERCISE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME STAYING VERY
INTERESTED IN WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
THE CHARACTERS IN STAR WARS USE THE FORCE TO
ENHANCE THEIR NATURAL ABILITY AS EXPLAINED BY
ONE OF THE STUDENTS.
WHEN YOU TRY -- YOU USE YOUR HANDS AND THEN YOU
TRY TO LIFT STUFF UP.
AND THE INSTRUCTOR TEACHES CHARACTER LESSONS BASED ON
USING THE FORCE.
TODAY'S FOCUS IS ABOUT BEING TRUTHFUL.
HONESTY, WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE HONEST?
SOMETIMES IT'S EASIER TO LIE THAN TELL THE TRUTH.
IT CAN BE EASIER FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, BUT
THAT WILL CATCH UP WITH YOU AND IT WILL BE HARDER
IN THE LONG RUN.
AFTER THE LESSON OF THE DAY, THE KIDS ARE EAGER TO
GET THEIR OWN LIGHT SABRES FOR DAYS AND MOCK BATTLES.
WITH PVC AND A POOL NOODLE WE CONSTRUCTED A LIGHT
SABRE OF A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT COLORS AND THEN
WE USED A VARIETY -- SOME DIFFERENT TAPE COLORS TO
HELP THE KIDS IDENTIFY WHICH LIGHT SABRE IS THEIRS.
WORKING WITH THE FORCE, THE STUDENTS TEST THEIR
CONCENTRATION AND HONESTY IN A GAME CALLED YODA SAYS.
WE WORK ON CHOPPING, SLICING, JUMPING, RUNNING,
YOU KNOW.
EVERYTHING THAT YOU COULD IMAGINE THAT A JEDI KNIGHT
WOULD HAVE TO DO.
ALL RIGHT.
LIGHT SABRES UP.
ALL RIGHT.
YODA SAYS.
BLOCK.
CHOP.
OH SAHEKA, LUCAS, YOU GOT TO SIT DOWN.
NEXT, THE CLASS RUNS RELAY RACES TO IMPROVE THEIR
BALANCE, COORDINATION, AND TEAM WORK.
THEN IT'S TIME TO GRAB YOUR LIGHT SABRE AND HEAD
OUTDOORS FOR THE BIG BATTLE.
AND THIS CLASS IS NOT LIMITED TO JUST BOYS..
EVEN THOUGH I'M ONLY ONE OF THE FEW GIRLS IN THE
CLASS, I'M OKAY WITH IT.
I LIKE TO BATTLE WITH THE LIGHT SABRES.
EACH STUDENT DEVELOPS THEIR PARTICULAR BATTLE TECHNIQUE.
A FALLEN PLAYER CAN GET BACK IN THE GAME WHEN
ANOTHER PLAYER TOUCHES HIM.
THIS ACTIVITY IS A CLEAR CONTRAST TO THE SEDENTARY
STYLE OF VIDEO GAMES.
MY MOM GOT ME INTO IT BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT I
NEEDED SOME EXERCISE BECAUSE USUALLY I'M
PLAYING MY DS STAR WARS: BATTLE FRONT, STAR WARS:
THE FORCE UNLEASHED.
CODY'S MOM CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
WHEN HE COMES HOME FROM JEDI FITNESS, HE'S TIRED.
HE NEEDS A BREAK AND HE ALWAYS SEEMS TO SLEEP
REALLY WELL AT NIGHT.
I JUST THINK IT'S A GREAT CLASS AND I HIGHLY
RECOMMEND IT.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SIGN HIM UP AGAIN.
YOU CAN VIEW JEDI FITNESS AND OTHER SUMMER CLASSES
OFFERED BY KIDS COLLEGE AT ESTRELLAMOUNTAIN.EDU/KIDS.
I'M DEE ANN KINKADE FOR MARICOPA NOW.
