Meet Michelle Vanegas: A Remarkable Subaru Owner
“My name is Michelle Vanegas, and I am a second-year graduate student and adjunct professor at California State University, Los Angeles.” Michelle’s story begins with her pursuit of knowledge and her dedication to helping others succeed. She’s been teaching part-time at Cal State L.A. since 2019, a year that marks not only the start of her academic career but also her journey as a Subaru owner.
Michelle’s Subaru journey began with her purchase of a Crosstrek, a dependable companion she relies on to navigate the challenges of both her education and her role as an educator. As a science instructor, Michelle finds deep fulfillment in nurturing her students’ understanding and appreciation of science and the natural world. Her commitment to her students and her passion for education led her to make a life-changing decision in 2021.
A Courageous Decision
In 2021, Michelle decided to leave her full-time job and return to school to pursue a master’s degree. This brave choice, driven by her desire to teach and inspire more students, came at a significant cost—a severe loss of income. As a part-time college professor with only a bachelor’s degree, Michelle faced financial uncertainty, especially when she was not offered enough teaching units in a semester.
It was during this challenging time that Michelle faced an unexpected hurdle. Her beloved Crosstrek, the very vehicle that helped her maintain her busy schedule, was in need of essential maintenance and repairs. With limited financial resources, this was a daunting obstacle that threatened to disrupt her academic and teaching commitments.
