HI
I’m Mathew, today was my first time at ever being at nativeyouth2college and it was awesome experience. one of my favorite classes was the karate class, it made me learn focus and discipline, and kept me in a calm mental state, witch was peaceful.
Today I had fun while making another dream pillow and learned a new type of martial arts i also made some new friends . During dinner time we sang for someones birthday the boy was really shook…. I had lots of fun it really was a busy day, at the end of the day we ended up talking about who inspires us the most for me my grand-aunt Lorne sisquoc is my inspiration if she wasnt in my life i wouldn’t have learned to make baskets or bead, fancy shawl, be culturally involved, attended Sherman or even be at this program
Another year back here at Native Youth to College! Although public speaking isn’t my best quality, I did my best to speak. It was good to see old/new faces. Everyone was welcoming and it felt as if I’ve never left. Today went well! I got to catch up with my friends I haven’t seen in a long time.
Just like last year we had martial arts and once again it was amazing! Even though I did this last year, I’m still rusty. The food was good here and the activities we did really bonded all of us together. I can’t wait to make more memories throughout this journey!
On my first day at NY2C was fun because we got to talk about important things with other people. I was able to be around new people that I’ve never met before but I also got to come here with my cousins and sister. I got to stay in the same room as my cousin. We went to the room and started to fix the beds and then laid on the bed and watched some videos on my phone. I was about to fall asleep but then we had to go somewhere. We got to go and learn more about the Native Youth to College.
Then we got to do a game that was fun and weird. After that I was very hungry and then we got to go to lunch and I ate healthy food for the first time in a long time. After lunch I got to look at the chickens and they looked cool. We also had to introduce ourselves a lot.
my first day i felt welcomed and supported. it really helped through my unfortunate experience at the ER.
When I came off of the plane and was picked up by Violet, I immediately felt that same good, positive, welcoming vibe from last year and I felt like I was at home. Arriving at campus and seeing old and new friends is the best feeling ever. I missed the people, the scenery, and the knowledge from this program and ever since last year, I couldn’t wait for July 2018.
Even though today’s heat was almost unbearable, I still had a good day. Finally seeing friends from last year felt like a family reunion and I haven’t talked to a lot of new people yet, so anybody reading this that doesn’t know me, just say “Hey!” I’m willing to meet new people. 
My name is James Fenelon and I’m at this program called Native Youth to College. Everyone in the program seems to be learning quite a bit. We’ve done a few ice breakers as well as a martial arts session and I believe that did a good job of making everyone more comfortable. We were also able to share who in our lives is close to use which helps us understand one another. This is only my first day and I hope the coming days are just as productive.
Today was a great first day of the native youth to college program. Met a lot of new interesting people cant wait to see whats going to happen tomorrow. I enjoyed the work shop with Dr.Thomas it was very interesting and touching subject. It was very relatable glad to take that work shop again. Also the dream pillow with auntie Julia was very beautiful.
The first day at pitzer for me started at 6 in the morning beginning with a beautiful sunrise followed by a opening ceremony for all new and returning participants of the programs. At the beginning of the day I also got to meet some new people with great attributes most of them pretty friendly and welcoming. The day even though it was absolutely fantastic but it was accompanied by an unwelcome heatwave. An amazing speaker came today to talk to us about some great topics which we elaborated on for a while. The last activity of the day was Martial Arts with Hector this was actually very exhilarating experience which I enjoyed greatly. So far the program is very fun with a myriad of adventures awaiting us for the next few days.
