The six-hour presentation included a tour of the automotive department at Cypress, an awesome car show, a raffle and a catered lunch.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the day was listening to Myles Kovacs, president and founder of DUB Magazine, who was named one of the &#8220;10 Big Thinkers for Big Business in the 21st century&#8221; by Newsweek magazine. He was born in a tough neighborhood in East Los Angeles, and overcame much adversity. He shared his insights regarding turning pain into strength.<\/p>\n<p>The conference was motivational, and students got great exposure to many careers in the automotive aftermarket.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-442\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"elr-visits-cypress-college-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-1.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-444\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"elr-visits-cypress-college-3\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-3.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-445\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-4-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"elr-visits-cypress-college-4\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-4-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-4.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-446\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-5-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"elr-visits-cypress-college-5\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/elr-visits-cypress-college-5.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September, 35 students from El Camino Real High School visited Cypress College to attend an event sponsored by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA)&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":443,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1177,15],"tags":[287],"class_list":["post-441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-high-school","category-school-district","tag-el-camino-real-high-school"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/441\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodnews.pylusd.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
