Everardo Hernandez was born in Mexico, Zacatecas and raised in San Pedro, California. Hernandez is the oldest of four siblings. He went to school in San Pedro from Kindergarten through his senior year. After high school he would began partying for three years. Afterward, he went into the Armed Forces for seven years. Then, this past February the tenth, he was out of active duty. So, we joined the National Guard. He is not only a defender of the United States, but also a proud father of a little girl and a boy on the way.
The Post 9/11 G.I. Bill motivates him to go to college because it is helping him pay for his education. Also, not having a job motivates him to get a college degree. His current schedule is going to the gym at the navy base in the mornings for two hours, going to school in the night, and attending drills one weekend of every month. He says, “I have all the time in the world for my family because I do not have a job right now!” He see's himself as a role model for his daughter because he is always trying to be a good father and teacher for her. Three words that describe him are: quiet, disciplined, and motivated. Years from now he hopes to be working in a federal job, preferably for the Army Corp. of Engineers.
What he likes about Oxnard College is the driving distance, the class schedules, and the services. However, he thinks that the campus should be improved by providing more parking spaces and better technology availability. His cultural background influences him to get a better career and to have a better education than his parents. Coming to college has given him the experience of having been away from school for so long.
