Que Pasa Calexico

Today I had a quick chat with two 2019 Calexico High graduates, my friends Zammantha Avina and Mariela Padilla.  I wanted to see how their transition from High School to University was and how it changed due to the pandemic.  Zammantha and Mariela also wanted to let any 2020 graduate know that if they any questions about going away to college/university and they can't reach a counselor at their new school they are more than willing to answer any questions as best as they can.   Follow Starts with Arts on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/startswitharts/ Follow us on Facebook! http://bit.ly/2AljpUQ Follow us on Instagram! http://bit.ly/31l34ve Follow us on Twitter! http://bit.ly/2ZTMdlL List of all Episodes! http://bit.ly/2v4jNYr --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jose-alejos3/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jose-alejos3/support

In Episode 71 we have a returning guest ... Mayor Bill Hodge. In this episode I wanted to focus on the expansion of Heber park. For those of you who don't know #Calexico was awarded $8.5 million from the state to expand Heber park. Despite the fact that this is something positive for our city some in a our community were and are still worried that these funds are going to be misused and the project won't be completed. I am one of those who is worried that we won't see this project get finalized and I hope that my conversation with the mayor can help ease the concerns we have.
