Spring Break Begins :(

Today is the beginning of spring break and unlike most peoples spring break there will be no time to just sit back and relax.  Which sucks big time.  First I have an grant from the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) where I have to make many different maps from GPS points I collect with an GPS unit.  I put this information in an database using Microsoft access and then creating a map using ESRI's software.  Making maps on computers is known as Geographical Information Systems, a very complex technology.  Other then that, I will be working on improving the three 4-H websites that I am in control of, work on planning a conference, do a job shadow, finish an research report, and other homework.  So this is going to be a long and tiring spring break.  I do hope that all of you have a great spring break and I will see s few of you back in school on Apirl 10th.

Uncut and Proud!

*This blog post is considered informal, where parts are written as free writing practices, along with adding some research to back up the free write.   Content warming : This blog contains topics people might find uncomfortable from reading* I am uncircumcised!  You read that right.  Let me explain why I am writing on this.  I have a fear of telling people that I have a foreskin due to risk of being made fun of, or worse, people find me disgusting because of something I have that is fully natural.  Honestly, being made fun of something like this can cause some emotions.  What causes this fear?  Just being around people and hearing them talk about how people with foreskins are disgusting and terrible.  In the dating/relationship world, I find it tough because many girls wont go near a guy if they say they are intact, which I find very ridiculous.  Now you might be asking why am I bringing this up now?  Because there ...

Goals for Next Year -- Self-improvement

Punaluʻu Beach, Island of Hawai'i Aloha!   Writing from the Hawaiian Islands on a holiday family vacation with my parents and sister.  I am hoping to get back into writing more to help collect my thoughts and keep me accountable on the topics of this post.  I was lying in my bed last night bored browsing multiple dating apps and talking to random guys either visiting the island or locals.  Most of them looking for a quick hook-up, which got old fast.  I thought about how I could get past this trend of using these apps to attempt to find a boyfriend when they result in pointless conversations, photo trades, and the occasional meaningless hookup.  With a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts, I began thinking about the new year and making some new year's resolutions.  My challenge is the same as so many.  Resolutions stay strong for a week or two before they tend to fall off.  It has been years since I have looked at my old posts but I bet th...

Coming Out

Growing up was not always easy for me.  Throughout my childhood, I experienced multiple periods of bullying by different individuals.  These periods of time imprinted emotional scars that continue to influence my actions today.  Overcoming these scars have proved to be one of the most challenging personal battles I have ever faced.  My experiences with bullying peaked in late middle school to early high school; a time when many are discovering more of who they are.  To avoid providing more fuel to the fire, I tucked away certain thoughts, feelings, actions, and more deep inside.  Parts of who I am turned into a secret, in which was kept hidden from everyone (except for one person).  Words can never express the amount of emotional stress that followed to keeping a secret like this.  I went through many episodes of confusion, anger, sadness, loneliness, and hopelessness.  These episodes lasted all the way to college.  For help, I turned t...
