Graduation

Graduation can be a long and tiing event.   On the morning of graduation scott picked me up and we went over to take the graduation class photo at the redlands bowl.  Only about 1/3 of the entire class showed up.  Afterwards, scott and I went over to Jeff's house where we hooked up the N64 and played concers (I am such a damn bad speller) Bad fur Day.  Then Jeff came, his mom took photos, and we headed over to Grad practice in the hot blazing sun at 95 degrees.  But it could have been hoter.  Afterwards we went to school to finally do some senior pranks.....but we didn't distroy any property so don't worry . We had a BBQ od steak and other good food.  Then we rushed over to line up for graduation, where my gown, we found out was ripped in the back and we had to fix it with staples.....lol.  

The Graduation was nice....thank god it wasn't as hot as we thought it was.  My friends and I were almost all in the same area.  At the end we had fireworks which i thought was nice and cool.  Then Afterwards we eat at Denny's....LOL....I know.  

Afterwards Noelle, Scott, and I went over to Jeff's house and played on the N64.  Scott and Noelle left around 2:00- 2:30 am.  Jeff, candice, and i played until the sunrise.  They went to bed around 7:00 and i just kept on playing until 12:00 yesterday.  Then we went to get lunch and buy scott's b-day present for the party that night.  We arrived at scott's party and hanged out awhile.  It was nice seeing amanda there, we havn't seen each other in 2 1/2 years or so.  We left early because i was with out sleep at that point for 37 hours and things were getting alittle crazy,  but i had a great time.  Tonight was my grad party with the family since most family members weren't allowed to go due to other graduations and events.  It was cool....i got things for my car...which i now hope to get my permit next week now that i have some more time to do things with school over. 

Thank you everyone for there support for my graduation....i really had a greaet time.

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
