A day in Davis

Yesterday was a very big day for me.  I flew up to Sacramento, yes again, for a meeting to select youth to represent the California 4-H at the 2006 National 4-H Conference.  Steven Worker, our Program rep, picked me up from the airport and we went to pick up a friend of mine, Cindy.  After that we went to Safeway, which is Vons down here, and got ice.  Cindy was hungry so Steven was nice to take us to In & Out.  We finally made it to the State 4-H office where the meeting lasted from 1:00 to 5:00.  After the meeting I really didn’t want to say at the airport for three hours so I went to Steven’s Apartment.  That night he was having a party so I helped set up.  I say his costume for the party and it is a fairy costume.  It was so funny. I really found out that Steven is not that good of a cook and he doesn’t take care of his fish.  His room mate, Allison, who is on the Computer Corps, does the cooking and the taking care of his fish.  It is so funny.  Steven and I left to the airport, but first we went to Petco.  He wanted Black lights for his fish tank and skulls.  They only had red lights of he got those instead.  Then he just happen to say, I want a Betta, so he gets all the things for the betta and names it after me.  LOL I have no clue why but he did. LOL.  Then we went to this Halloween store in Davis to get black lights for his apartment. After the store he took me this back way to the airport.  I thought we were in the middle of nowhere.  It was so dark it was not even funny.  Well I made it to the airport and my flight was delayed for 30 mins and I got home at 11:50 and went to sleep at 12:15.

Earning a Masters During a Global Crisis

Image
The past fourteen months have been among one of the most challenging yet rewarding chapters in my life.  A rollercoaster of emotions filled with hope, fear, exhaustion, stress, sense of community, success, burnout, loneliness, and everything in between.  This wild ride began in February 2020, when I returned to school to earn a Masters of Science in Organizational Leadership (MSOL) from the University of Redlands.  The choice to return to school was two fold.  The first was to learn and overflow my toolbox with skills to be a stronger leader that will positively increase my leadership at The Wildlands Conservancy, the California 4-H Youth Development Program, and beyond.  The second was that it was the right time in my life to return to school.  I was financially sound with no debt, currently single with no family, and qualified for some financial assistance through work to help pay for the program.  As I stepped on campus for the first time for the program orientation in mid-February,

Reflecting on 2016

      2016 was a great year.  It was filled with adventure, life milestones, hard work, and possibilities for 2017.  Since I have not written on my blog for the year, I wanted to reflect on some of the changes that have happened.       As 2015 was coming to an end, I had learned that Executive Headquarters at The Wildlands Conservancy, which happens to be located next to our Oak Glen Preserve office where I was working as a Naturalist, had a position open for an Administrative Assistant.  I love working for Wildlands, and I would jump at anything to have a career working for Wildlands.  I applied.  We had an interview, and I thought I nailed it.  A few days later, our Executive Director paid me a visit at the Oak Glen Preserve office.  He had told me that they chose to go with a different person for the position.  Immediately, I became very upset (internally) that I did not get the position.  Before I had a chance to say anything, Dave said they had a different position for me.  Beca

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 to the internet.  I began meeting people who were
