Question of the Week

โ€œWhat is something about Santa Cruz that you are thankful for?โ€

Curtis Reliford, humanitarian

โ€œIโ€™m grateful to be alive and wake up every day in a paradise island of a town that is full of gratitude. More grateful people here than I have met in my life. And Iโ€™m a black man talking about white people. Thatโ€™s where Iโ€™m at with Santa Cruz.โ€


Hadley Long, 19, UCSC student

โ€œIโ€™m still exploring the area, and Iโ€™m thankful that itโ€™s not too big, but thereโ€™s lots to explore and see. I love being close to the beach and downtown. I can walk around and find new things every time I go there.โ€


Desmond Driver, 18, UCSC student

โ€œIโ€™m thankful for the environment, and the wildlife, especially living closer to campus, the wildlife is pretty crazy. We see deer and raccoons. There are wild turkeys all over campus, thatโ€™s a Thanksgiving thing!โ€


Mira Warner, 21, Volunteer for Housing Matters

โ€œIโ€™m thankful for the amount of resources we have, in terms of social services and prevention. Iโ€™m in a Human Services class, so Iโ€™m learning about how many we actually have. We definitely need more, but itโ€™s a good start.โ€


Rob Abundis, 56, Medical Device Sales

โ€œIโ€™m thankful that Santa Cruz is so diverse and eclectic. Itโ€™s unique. Its unique nature gives it what everybody loves. Thatโ€™s why people stay here. And weโ€™ve got the beach!โ€


Kylie Oโ€™Connor, 21, Pacific Wave

โ€œIโ€™m thankful for Bookshop Santa Cruz, because I love reading and I always love going there. Itโ€™s a sweet little spot .โ€
