First Week of College

Well, I lived though my first week of college..and who.it is cool but lots of work.  All my classes start at 11:00 am and the latest is on Monday at 4:00 pm.  My biology teacher is awesome but the class is going to be a lot of work..The chapters are huge L and we have to outline every chapter, this week we had 3 chapters we had to outline along with 2 labs due on Monday.  My math class teacher is cool, most of the subject is a repeat from last year, but billions of math problems we have to do.  But knowing it already makes things go a lot faster.  My English class is boring as hell and the teacher is telling how all the grammar rules they taught in high school and what your parents teach you are wrong, including the rule about where the I goes.  Other then the classes, Crafton seems to be getting to me, very beautiful in landscaping.  I have to leave 1 ½ hours before class because it takes 30 mins to find a parking spot.  There is never parking and it real quickly becomes a war with other students wanting that same parking spot.  Well, tomorrow I have no classes but I will be working on homework all day tomorrowand boy is it going to kill meo well, ill live.

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
