Description

Marc Escobar is a FilAm journalist, poet, and drummer. Currently majoring in Political Science at UC Berkeley, he’s spent majority of his time in the Bay Area—attending Westmoor High School in Daly City and transferring from Skyline College in San Bruno. Born in the Philippines, Marc shares about his childhood in San Diego and his family’s eventual move to the Bay Area. He opens up about learning how to drum from his uncle and the spaces that led him to over the years—band in middle school and high school, then drumming for the Pilipino Cultural Night at UC Berkeley. In this episode, we also talk about the community college experience and transferring into UC Berkeley—social circles, authenticity, balance, and friendships.


3 Pieces of Advice

1. Everything happens for a reason. For better or worse. Life happens. Don’t sweat on stuff you can’t control.
2. Try to be your authentic self. You’ll only attract people that genuinely care about you.

3. Don’t take life too seriously. Laughter is the best medicine.
