There are many paths that our students have taken on their journeys to American River College and to Sacramento, California.
Here, our students tell a story from their past. Their stories may be about happy days, or sad events... but the stories are always told in their own words.

The students' stories have been organized by common themes.  
Click on a theme below to see a playlist of student videos and their amazing stories.

The difference between the U.S. and my country
How I changed since I came to the U.S. A typical time in my childhood
Special Parrot Moments Why I moved to the U.S.
The thing I miss most in my country The most dangerous day of my life
The last day in my country Coming to the U.S.
The best day of my life The worst day in my life
