I have nothing, except for when I made a new friend it was a spider. He was on my clapper stick and I didn’t have a name for him, but he left for another land. I hope he was a jumping spider that way he could give me tips on water droplet hats next time I see him.

Hello my name is Lucas Kenefick I am 16 years old and currently a softmore at Great Oak High school in Temecula California. I’m also from Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians; I am the Jr Tribal council for hour youth at Pechanga. I also play sport such as Lacrosse. I was born in the United Kingdom because my father was in the military then after two years moved to the reservation at Pechanga. Through out the years on the reservation I went to a school on the reservation for five in half years. I was the first athlete of the year and also to reach 100 miles through out the year at Chamakilawish, then graduated in 5th grade and also the first to graduate at that school and I was very proud of those achievements. I am very competitive and will strive to get what I want to achieve. What I want to do when I get to college or work up to college is to major in arts and graphic designing. I was raised on the reservation so I was into motorcycles and playing in the dirt. Then we moved in the neighborhood and know I was introduced into the technology world as I like to call it but it will never get in the world of my culture and my family. I’m still currently learning my native language even though is hard to learn I still work my hardest to learn it. When I was in elementary school I knew a lot in my native language and use to know it fluently but when I went to middle school I stopped knowing how to speak it through out the years. But still strive to learn my culture

I’m Jasmine Jaimez. I’m 14, my birthday is December 29. I am a incoming freshman to high school. I’m a descendant of the Luiseno ( San Luis Ray ). I like to play softball, it helps me to get things off of my mind. I wanna become a pediatrician when I grow up or like a social worker for Child Protective Services. One of the reasons why I wanted to attend this pipeline is because it focus around the medical field. Another one of my dreams is also to be the first one to graduate from college in my family. I just love to see my mom in the stands smiling so big that the whole world can see, to me its just a way to know she’s proud of me. I’m really shy at first but once I get use to you I will be out in the open. I love when people make me laugh, if you make me laugh a lot I will love you forever! In my free time I like to hang put with my friends or listen to music. I wanna be more into my culture and tribe is because no one in my family is really into it except my grandma. But unfortunately she past away from breast cancer so a way to know I still think about her and miss her, I wanna keep our traditions up and known just her for and my grandkids.Penguins

I have been playing roller hockey for about 1 year now. I look forward to playing ice hockey in the future. I play plenty of video games, which include World of Warcraft and Call of Duty Black Ops 2. I find myself interested in competitive gaming after discovering my proficient skill at Call of Duty Black Ops 2. I have a huge passion for music, especially The Beatles and deadmau5. I have 1 older and 1 younger brother and I have 1 younger sister. My older brother, Nick Lozano, is here at Pitzer with myself. My first day here was pretty nice, we made clappers and did some form on relaxation. The relaxation session did help me improve on sleeping easier and healthier.
