San Diego Zoo & today

Today I went to the San Diego Zoo with my Cuz (Her 21st B-day), John, my Uncle, and Aunt.  We left the farm at 5:30 in the morning, took Live Oak Canyon to Hemet, then down to San Diego to save time.  We stoped at Denny's at Hotel Circle in North San Diego for Breakfast, which was yummy....lol.....Then after getting lost, we finally mad it to the Zoo in the north part of downtown San Diego.  We had a great time, the only thing was most of the Zoo was filled with school groups from Mexico.  It seems almost all the schools in Baja California, Mexico came across the boader to see the zoo.  They where the worst, nothing but spanish, pushing you out of the way, and being real bitchy.....It seemed we where the only americans in the entire damn park.  But other then that the day was fun.  Afterwards we went home....once i got in the truck, i went out cold and the next thing i knew, we where almost back at the farm, where my parents and sister where going up so we can go th Joe's there in Yuciapa to party.  LOL...then we went back so i can get my stuff and now im here getting photos on myspace and facebook.  Happy Birthday Krystal.

And this is my 100th BLOG POST.....WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!

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
