Hayward Promise Youth Get Active at Summer Sports Camp
Fifty youngsters from Hayward Promise Neighborhood were among more than 125
Bay Area youth, ages 10-16 years old, who took over the Chabot College campus for
five-weeks this summer for the Chabot Summer Youth Sports Program. The camp is
designed specifically to support under-served students. It promotes a healthy lifestyle
through proper nutrition and physical fitness and builds a college-going culture
through activities that nurture dreams, strengthen respect, citizenship and
sportsmanship, and boost confidence and self-esteem —all while encouraging the
development of quality long-lasting friendships. The youth have the opportunity to
engage in a variety of sports led by Chabot students such as: basketball, soccer,
softball, swimming and dance with their peers .
For the past 13 summers Chabot has sponsored the Summer Youth Sports Program
but after Federal cuts in 2006, Chabot staff learned they would no longer have the
funding to continue the camp. Thanks to funding from Hayward Promise
Neighborhood , Chabot College Trio, Educational Talent Search and Let’s Do Lunch
Hayward...And Breakfast Too, and a grant from Career Technical Education, Chabot
was able to continue providing this quality summer youth sports for the summer of
2015.
Kartik Autar, attended Hayward Promise Neighborhood
schools: Harder Elementary, Cesar Chavez Middle School
& Tennyson High School and is now a Junior at California
State University, East Bay.
When Kartik Autar was awarded the honor of Valedictorian of his
Tennyson High School graduating class of 2013 with a 4.87
cumulative GPA; he jokingly shares, “My parents initially didn’t
even know what a Valedictorian was until my Mom mentioned it to
some of her co-workers and they told her what a big deal it was.”
The youngest of three boys, Kartik and his family immigrated to the
U.S. from Fiji when he was two years old. They settled in Hayward’s
Jackson Triangle when he was three years old. At a young age,
Kartik knew that he wanted to excel in school to attend college. “I
saw how hard my parents worked to support the family, so I
wanted to make sure their hard work paid off,” explained Kartik.
“Surrounding myself with motivated people, especially in places
like middle school and high school, kept me out of trouble and
helped me share my goals with the people around me.
Unfortunately for my classmates that dropped out of school or
barely showed up, I have seen them leading lives that involve the
wrong people, drugs, and even crime.”
As Kartik continued to excel throughout school he eventually began to take Advancement Placement (AP) classes in high
school. He relied on his friends and teachers to provide him with academic support. Neither of Kartik’s parents or older
brothers had attended a four-year university. His advanced classes such as calculus and physics were not subjects anyone in
his family had been exposed to. He learned to rely on the help of his teachers and friends to help with his advanced course
work. Now as a junior at California State University, East Bay, Kartik is the trailblazer of his family as a first-generation college
student. Majoring in Computer Engineering with a Minor in Computer Science, Kartik is working part-time to help pay his
college tuition and is focused on graduating in the next year to pursue a career in engineering.

Se expanden Practicas en Carreras de Salud en St. Rose con la Promesa Hayward
Este año escolar, La Promesa del Vecindario de Hayward (HPN) está ofreciendo más apoyos y
servicios a sus estudiantes de las escuelas secundarias. En las escuelas secundarias de
Hayward y Tennyson, por ejemplo, HPN está proporcionando fondos para ampliar el Hospital
St. Rose CARAS para el programa futuro en el Hospital St. Rose -prácticas y un programa de
desarrollo de liderazgo para estudiantes de secundaria en minoría y situación de riesgo que
están interesados en profesiones de la salud. El programa ofrece a los estudiantes pasantías
hospitalarias, apoyo académico, asesoramiento y desarrollo de liderazgo.
Los estudiantes en el programa deben estar inscritos simultáneamente en las carreras
médicas en el Programa Regional Ocupacional Eden (ROP) o cursos de Primera Intervención.
Después de un entrenamiento riguroso en torno a temas como la privacidad de los pacientes y
Portabilidad de Seguro de salud y ley de responsabilidad (HIPAA) y después de pasar una
prueba de maestría, los estudiantes pasan tiempo en el Hospital St. Rose observando
profesionales de salud realizar diversas tareas clínicas. Estudiantes de la Promesa del
Vecindario de Hayward que solicitan el programa ahora tendrán prioridad en la admisión.
Jasmine Nakagawa, Coordinadora del Programa para CARAS compartió su experiencia,
diciendo: "Cuando yo era una profesora de escuela pública, vi estudiantes con tanto potencial
fracasando para prosperar en el ambiente académico, debido a los desafíos dentro y fuera de
la escuela. CARAS asegura que los estudiantes estén conectando su potencial académico con
metas de carreras de la vida real, y que estén bien apoyados en el camino. "

Promesa del Vecindario de Hayward
Residente Destacado: Kartik Autar
Cincuenta jóvenes de la Promesa del Vecindario de Hayward estaban entre más de 125 jóvenes del Área de la Bahía, de edades 10-16 años de edad, quienes vivieron en el cam-pus del Colegio Chabot durante cinco semanas este verano para el programa Deportivo de Verano Juvenil Chabot. El campamento está diseñado específicamente para apoyar a los estudiantes insuficientemente atendidos. Promueve un estilo de vida saludable a través de una nutrición adecuada y la aptitud física y construye una cultura universitaria a través de actividades que nutren los sueños, fortalecen el respeto, la ciudadanía y la de-portividad, y aumentan la confianza y el autoestima -fomentando al mismo tiempo el de-sarrollo de las amistades que duren. Los jóvenes tuvieron la oportunidad de participar en una variedad de deportes dirigidos por estudiantes de Chabot como: baloncesto, fútbol, softball, natación y baile con sus compañeros. Durante los últimos 13 veranos Chabot ha patrocinado el Programa Deportivo de Verano para la Juventud, pero después de los recortes federales en 2006, el personal de Chabot aprendió que ya no tienen los fondos para continuar con el campamento. Gracias a finan-ciamiento de la Promesa del Vecindario de Hayward, Colegio Chabot Trio, Busca de Talento Educacional y Hagamos almuerzo Hayward...y desayuno tambien, y una beca de Carrera de Educación Técnica, Chabot fue capaz de continuar brindando estos deportes juveniles de verano para el verano del 2015.
Kartik Autar, asistió a escuelas de la Promesa del
Vecindario de Hayward: Harder Elementary, Cesar Chavez
Middle School y Tennyson High School y ahora está en su
tercer año en California State University, East Bay.
Cuando Kartik Autar fue galardonado con el honor de Valedictorian
de su curso de graduación de Escuela Secundaria Tennyson de
2013, con un GPA acumulativo de 4,87; En tono de broma
comparte, "Mis padres inicialmente ni siquiera sabía lo que era un
Valedictorian hasta que mi mamá se lo mencionó a algunos de sus
compañeros de trabajo y le dijeron lo importante que era." El más
joven de tres niños, Kartik y su familia emigró a los EE.UU. de Fiji
cuando tenía dos años de edad. Se establecieron en el Triángulo de
Jackson de Hayward cuando tenía tres años de edad. A temprana
edad, Kartik sabía que quería sobresalir en la escuela para asistir a
la universidad. "Vi lo difícil que mis padres trabajaron para apoyar a
la familia, así que quería asegurarse de que su esfuerzo valió la
pena", explicó Kartik. "Rodearme de gente motivada, sobre todo en
lugares como la escuela media y la escuela secundaria, me
mantuvo fuera de problemas y me ayudó a compartir mis metas
con las personas que me rodeaban. Por desgracia para mis
compañeros que abandonaron la escuela o apenas se presentaron,
los he visto llevar una vida que involucra a las personas
equivocadas, drogas, e incluso la delincuencia.”
A medida que Kartik continuaba sobresaliendo en la escuela finalmente comenzó a tomar clases avanzadas (AP) en la escuela
secundaria. Él se apoyó en sus amigos y profesores que le proporcionaron apoyo académico. Ninguno de los padres de Kartik
ni sus hermanos mayores habían asistido a una universidad de cuatro años. Sus clases avanzadas tales como cálculo y física
eran temas que nadie en su familia había sido expuesto. Aprendió a obtener ayuda de sus profesores y amigos para lograr
hacer su trabajo en curso avanzado. Ahora como junior en la Universidad Estatal de California, East Bay, Kartik es el pionero de
su familia como un estudiante universitario de primera generación. Con especialización en Ingeniería Informática con
especialización en Ciencias de la Computación, Kartik está trabajando a tiempo parcial para ayudar a pagar su matrícula
universitaria y está enfocado en graduarse en el próximo año para seguir una carrera en ingeniería.
