Counseling 116 

 Course Syllabus: CNSL 116

Meet Your Instructor:  I am one of two brothers with a college education. I was raised in Santa Ana and once a Santa Ana College student. I loved it so much that I decided to work here. Apart from all the academic stuff that you may find boring (exciting for me) that comes with teaching, such as lessons, assignments, exams, grading, etc., I do have a life (limited, but still do) outside of the classroom. I enjoy hiking, outdoor travels, kayaking, and  horseback riding. I cannot say I am the greatest at horseback rider (aka, wannabe cowboy), but I have done it enough to say I love it. I cannot stress enough how much I love fruits and vegetables.  Not sure if that's your thing, but should I say that I eat oatmeal EVERY single morning? Well, I do. To all those candy-fast-food-Tackis-Cheeto-Startbucks drinking junkies I say the following: I don't judge. Welcome to my class!
