Yesterday's quest for fun

Yesterday morning I had three meetings at Mt. SAC Community college.  My best friends from imperial valley were there.  After each of these meetings we always go and eat or try to have some fun.  After the meeting we wanted to eat somewhere that was different then all the other places that we ate at in the past. So we went to the Rainforest Cafe in Ontario Mills, one of the best malls in southern California.  This place is awsome.  It has fish tanks all over the place, and animal stuff.  The food was real great.  For desert my friend's mom ordered something called volcano.  Once it comes you have to yell VOLCANO!!!! Which we did along with everyone else in the cafe.  It was just soo fun being there.  Afterwards we wanted to see about going bowling, well we got to redlands and the bowling place was all booked.  So for about one hour we just played video games in the arcade, which was still fun.  There was this car racing game and I won 1st place 6 times in a row.  None of my friends could beat me.  But on my sixth win and getting another free race I let one of my friends play.  Most of the time this is the last time we see each other until the next meeting.  But there is a conference next weekend so we are going to have alot of fun then as well, which is nice.

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
