The week of 4th of July

The week of 4th of July has been an extremely long and tiring one.  I have to say one of the most tiring weeks of the entire summer.  The beginning of the week was mostly devoted to work.  Going to the office on monday for an all day meeting.  The next day I got sick.  I didn't sleep for the next few days.  On 4th of July, I felt alot better, and went to a party at my cuz's house where we sat in the backyard to watch the fireworks being shoot off from the high school in Yuciapa. 

I went to crafton to meet up with a councoler to talk about my future with taking classes.  My car had an overheating problem, and I was lucky to make it back home...thank god i only live 6 miles from school.  While I was gone over the weekend it seems my dad fixed my car.  Wires to the fan where destroyed from old age.  Now my car runs just fine

July 5th and 6th, i went up to the 2007 So-Cal 4-H Summer Camp in Crestline.  I brought with me 10 laptop computers from work, and tought youth how to make cool cards and graphics on the computer.

The next morning, i woke up at 4:45 to get off to Ontario Airport, so I can fly up to Sacramento for my Computer Corps Meeting at the State 4-H Office at UC Davis.  The meeting went really good; I had tons of fun.  We had a guest on saturday teach us some new cool tricks on Photoshop and photography.  Most of the photography portion of the talk i knew, so i got alittle tired at that point.  We worked on our computer lab, and of course, had tons of fun.  Yesterday, after the meeting i went geocaching with some other members before heading back to the airport. 

That was my 4th of July week.....yup....woot

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
