This morning we had ceremony with Robert John again. And I was tired again. Later we had SAT prep and me Jasmine and Isabel got lost lmao. We also had a theater class and it was really fun to tell a story and act it out. I am really not excited to leave because I am having a lot of fun with everyone. Overall I had a great day with my friends.
todayyy
This morning we had a sunrise ceremony with Robert John and Jimmy Blue Eyes. We had to wake up at 5 so I was very tired, but it felt good to pray to the sun and mother earth. Later, we went to Western University and learned about nutrition and fitness. I learned that it is really important to eat right and exercise everyday to stay fit and healthy. I had a really great day today with everyone!

Cadaver Lab 5/9/12
Yesterday, we went to the cadaver lab at Western University and got to see hearts,brains and legs. At first, I was a little grossed out, but once I started getting used to being in there for a while, I started to become interested. I dont want to go in there again, but it was a good experience and opprotunity to see what it would be like.
Yesterday, I we…
Yesterday, I went to Pechanga in Temecula and I learned a lot about my culture that I never knew before. I saw the Great Oak tree and learned a lot about it. This morning during ceremony, Adelina Cadilla came and spoke to us about her life story. She made me realize that everything bad that happens to us will only maker us stronger and help us learn how to become better people from it.
Yesterday
Yesterday, we went to the LA Historical Park. I learned that the salt bush is edible, healthy and for sore feet, if you boil water, put salt leaves in there and put your feet in the water, your feet will heal. I also learned a lot about mother nature and how to appreciate it and not take advantage of it.
why im here
I am here to get a better understanding about my culture, to see what it is like to live in dorms and meet new people. Since Ive been here, Ive seen a different perspective on life and learned that I can become anything I want if I have the motivation. Ive grown to love everyone in this program, and I know that if I be myself around them, I wont be judged.
