AVID Field Trip/X-Mas Trees

Today we had an AVID Field Trip to Cal Polly Pomona.  When I first got to school I found my friends and he chilled awhile to wait for the charter busses.  We got on the bus and headed over to the college, which was only around a 45 minute ride.  The busses had no clue where to drop us off.  First thing we did is take a group photo on a green hill.  Then we went to the student union type of place to have a 90 Min tour of the campus.  The campus was ok but the hills got a little tiring after a while.  The campus dorms were ok, the building where kinda cool.  For lunch I had Round Table pizza with my friend jeff, Noelle ate with us too but she had subway.  We ate outside and there was a light rain.  To me it felt like Monterey or somewhere in Northern California, It was nice.  After lunch my friends and I played pool and then we went back to school.  But our teacher though we can stay a little longer at Cal Polly so my bus left just as we got to school so I had to get a ride from my dad and he took me to work at the Christmas Tree Lot.  It was ok, I watered all the trees.  These people had no clue how to take care of x-mas trees.  And I went home and went to sleep since I have the SAT Tomorrow.

Earning a Masters During a Global Crisis

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
