Hi guys, my name is Christa McGowan and I would like to welcome you all to Pitzer’s Native Pipeline to College! Some of you met me today, some of you saw me and remember me from last year, and some of you just don’t know who this person is or why she is posting on this blog. Well, for those of you who don’t know me, my name is Christa McGowan and I am from the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska. I am an incoming freshman to college, hence why I am not part of the program this year, and will be attending Chaffey College. I was a past participant of the Pipeline for the last 4 years and I hope to one day become a mentor for this wonderful program.

Well, that is enough about me, I will hopefully be joining you for morning circle and I look forward to meeting all of you and see an few familiar faces ^.^ 

Get some rest everyone because your in for a really fun and busy two weeks!

 

Hiiiiiiii, I’m Kayleen. You know, that sleepy kid who gets to go home at the end of the day instead of to a dorm. I was here last year, still creeping around…

Don’t look at my past posts.

Don’t look at this post.

I can tell you’re reading this.

Just go.

….

If you’re still reading this because you’re a gangsta and feel the need to rebel; that’s cool. You go do that. Read my blog to death. Because you break the rules. Here’s everything I was going to talk about anyway.

If you’re reading this because you’re bored or you have to, just go to the next one, I know you don’t care.

And if you just are here cuz you’re curious because I’m such a weird kid and you’re just going “What am I reading…”.

Well then you need to sort out your life.

I’m a derp.

I’m just a lame derp.

Go read other people’s semi-cool blogs.

Today, I am just creeping around.

Talking. Somewhat.

I napped during dinner.

I napped during meditation, I felt so relaxed.

I talked some more. Acted like a lame nerd.

Just ignore me, that’s fine.

I’m that level-one pixie dwarf you only play with on video games until you can get that crazy cool warrior guy with the high HP.

…Yes I have low self-esteem, what makes you say that? It’s so down low, it wins every limbo game.

I’m somewhat funny.

I’ve been told.

Not really.

I’m not really funny.

Just go to the next post.

You know you want to.

Do you really want to be friends with this:

I thought not.

Hello again, my name is Michael and this is my second year entering the Pipeline program. I am 18 years old and from the Pechanga branch of Luiseño indians. I’m so excited to be doing this again, and the past week I couldn’t wait to see my Pechanga cousins once again and learning new things. It’s a bittersweet feeling seeing all these familiar faces and yet not seeing some others, but I’m looking forward to bonding with the new members just as I had with everyone last year.

I’m glad today was very relaxed, with us starting with yoga and relaxation with Daria, and our working on the clapper sticks.

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 I am Aaron Facio. I am part of the Yokut tribe at Tule River. I am five different types of Native American. It is my first time staying the night on a college campus. I think it is really neat. I really like it so far. I have a great roommate. His name is David. He is a really funny guy.

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 5^th 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
