Fall Update

Hi guys,  it has been a few months since I have had any activity on my blog.  I figure I give you an update of how things are going.  Well, first off im sick right now  and I have been since for the past 5 days.  I am slowly but surely getting better.

School started, and work schedule went back to normal, and that has been the main part of my time these past few months.  In the 4-H world, had a few meetings.  Things are looking great for the Teen Involvement Conference.  I am on the planning committee for the 2010 State Leaders' Forum, and I finally got the logo for the conference done and two possible guest speakers for the events.

This past weekend I was in Davis for two meetings.  Friday was a work meeting and Saturday was a Computer Corps meeting.  The main thing about that meeting was to restructure the team, so one thing that has changed is that we renamed the team to the California 4-H Technology Leadership Team.  It is going to be very exciting to see all the new members that join in the team.  I can't wait till I get the news

All the time, I am missing just being able to have the time to go out somewhere and take tons of photographs, and it sometimes hurts.  Luckly, I will be in Monterey the first weekend of November, so I cant wait.  Well, ok, so not Monterey, but Pacific Grove which is the city next to Monterey to the south.  Will be at Asilomar State Beach Conference Grounds.  In my opinion, that place is one of the most beautiful locations in the entire state.  If I had enough money, I would move there in a heart beat.  Anyway, im excited because I will be able to take photos, and hopefully get some cool ones

I entered a photography contest today that is for Staff of the ANR at UC Davis.  We will see what happens.  I have no clue how many ANR staff does photography.

Well, thats really all thats going on right now.  There isn't much else to report.  I can't wait till i get better

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
