Hey! My name is Jasson Murgo and I identify myself as a Cora from Tepic Nayarit, Mexico. I see myself  as a leader in school, as well in sports. I consider myself a athlete, however
I focus on soccer because it is family tradition and I feel free when I play. In a
ddition, I also consider myself an artist as I have a skill in drawing. I am from a school, Anahuacalmecac which is located in North East Los Angeles and I am on my way to being a Junior next year. I participate in the teen court for my school that includes a real case every month which is determined by twelve jurors. I also participate in a theater club, in which we create improve plays. I have volunteered at the L.A county fair for 5 days as part of Generation Green. I obtained an award for the S.H.A.D.E.S program as a requirement for teen court. Another award for teen court was for participating in CAYC. I gave a speech to the public about overcoming my challenges during the L.A County fair. I hope to have a successful education to have my dream job.

Hey y’all! My name is Ansel Rodriguez, my Nahuatl name is Quiztoc Achcuatli. I am from North East Los Angeles and I identify as Mexica. I see myself as a risk taking leader who engages himself in many different physical activities such as playing basketball, long distance running, and hiking. I attend Anahuacalmecac International University Preparatory High School of North America and I am going into my junior year, in fact I’ve been at Anahuacalmecac since the first grade. I really enjoy new experiences and expanding my education, so I always involve my self in different summer programs. Last summer I was proud to be a part of the Han Ban Summer Bridge Program, which was basically a cultural exchange program. My school has this huge project called the personal project that the sophomore class must complete to culminate from the MYP. Recognitions that I have received and I am proud of are running in the half marathon and completing my personal project. I actually have presented publicly, I recited a poem at Self Help Graphics in support of the 43 missing students from Ayotzinapa. In my future I hope to better my community and continue my education.

Hello,

Today I learned how to make a clapping stick and really got into theater. We were able to express ourselves in a fun way with new friends. I learned a lot about my peers here at Pitzer today. I feel these two upcoming weeks are really something to look forward to and expect a lot from this program.

My first impression was a fun, I learned how to make a clapping stick, and expressed myself during theater.  I am going with the flow and enjoying myself with others. I can not wait for tomorrows new adventures.

HEY!

Soo, today was the very first day in the program. Staring with drop off, I was too excited to settle into my room and meet my roommates. Then was orientation which was real cool hearing all the mentors introductions. Overall, I felt excited to get started. Once we did get started in theater I was able to meet others and express myself. Then meeting with an elder and making my own personalized clapping stick was defiantly a big highlight. Now, I am trying to get a hang of blogging which is interesting and sometimes challenging. I can not wait for what tomorrow brings!

Thank you!

I love it here, this is my third year in the program and it’s awesome. Words can’t describe this program for me.

The school that I go to is called Parkland Secondary I’ll be going to grade 11. I took this class in grade 10 and it was Marine Science 10. I love the marine life, and thats what I’m really interested in:) I really love the ocean I feel like I have a connection, it makes me really calm when i look at it. I love canoeing on the ocean when I look down I see all the seaweed, and it makes me wonder whats under there.
