1) It’s important to tell your story so you don’t get judged. To reach out to more people with a similar story.

2) I think it is important to tell a small amount of your past that affects you and what you know can do better for your future.

3) My favorite movie film is..is…is I like most movies but I’m more a tv show watcher like walking dead, white collar, orange is the new black, pretty little liars, and law and order SVU.

Trisha’s Question:

1) Have you chewed on your nails

2) what do you do when you are embarrassed?

It is important for Native Youth to tell their own stories because everyone deserves to tell their own story, and the youth are the future. What needs to be told is that how it is in school and being poor from a Native Youth, also their life growing up story. My favorite film now would be Jurassic World, mostly because during the whole movie I was excited to see what would happen next and it had amazing graphics.

1) For Native Youth it is important to tell their own stories because they are unique due to their history in this land. Most underprivileged people have important success stories, but for Native Youth it is far more important because they are NATIVE.

2) I think the story that I need to be able to tell was my experience growing up between my white and Mexican family, and how I learned to deal with both.

3) My favorite films are any films with Liam Neeson as the main character. Simply because he’s my favorite actor.

1) Why is it important for Native Youth to tell their own stories?

2) What story do you have to tell……or what story do you think needs to be told?

3)  What is your favorite Film or Book and why?

Pitzer College has many different benefits.  Pitzer provides various of recreational activities to do after they have a long week of studying and working.  This school built a flexible cirriculum so their students can do any free activities or study.  Whatever is wisest.  There is also on-campus entertainment and special interest clubs offered by The Claremont Colleges.  When it comes to athletics, Pitzer joins with Pomona college and that makes a great team.  During this entire week, I’ve been waking up EARLY and going to bed later than usual.  I underestimated the work a college student has to go through.  There is work piled on top of work and things you wanna do when outside of class.  You also have that responsibility to finish your homework and keep you clothing in check and clean.  There really is a lot of work than what I’m really getting at.  This entire time we had our break today, I slept like a log.  There was no way I could do this every day.  It amazes me of how many times people do this without trying.  When we walked around the Scripps College, I was walking but it was without my consciousness.  I was glad we got to sleep in and get more sleep throughout the day.  My favorite part of the day! 🙂

At the University of Arizona, there are lots of ways to relax. We have a huge recreational center in the middle of our campus that if you’re a student, you get unlimited access to all the courts, weight rooms, and tracks. Football season is during the fall, so you can get discounts on the games OR you can buy the ZonaZoo pass for $250 which gives you admission to all the home games for ANY sport ALL year!

We also have malls nearby and movie theaters that I tend to go to all the time… Plus, I tend to go to Mount Lemon or “A” Mountain to enjoy the view of the city.

As you students have seen, college curriculum can be long and repetitive. Yes, you get to choose your classes for your major, however there are general education classes like math, english, biology, chemistry, and history that are still required to complete your degree. Some times it can seem like college is all work and no play, but remember that these times will have provide you with once in a lifetime opportunities. In my case, I was able to discover my heritage in Aztec Dance, and take wonderful risks with rock climbing.

Twice a week I would be able to recharge my soul with my traditional dance alongside members in my native community, all the while taking in the sweet smell of copal. It would allow me to remind myself why I was trying so hard in college; for the sake of my people and my family. Three times a week, 3 hours a day, you could find me at Metal Mark Rock Climbing Gym in Fresno, working on improving my physique from the tips of my toes to the ends of my fingers. Bouldering is as much a physical sport as it is a sort of full body puzzle. You try to solve each problem on the rock with your entire being, flexing, relaxing, pushing and pulling, some times all at once!

College is as much studying and learning as it is making new friends and relationships. Yes, you’ll have those days where you wish you could sleep just one more hour or eat more than just pb&j, but remember to set aside time for yourself, to breathe, recover, and smile ^__^.

The college that I decided to look up was the University of San Diego. Some activities that students can attend off campus are things such as rock climbing, hiking, surfing, camping to build student responsibility or even staying a night some where to get out of comfort zone.

The first college that comes to mind to me is the University of Hawaii at Manoa. They offer varsity sports, student publications and media outlets, on and off campus internships and employment opportunities, and study aboard programs around the world. The University of Hawaii Manoa is something I found in the common app class and I really want to go there after I found it in the common app class. Hawaii is somewhere I’ve always wanted to go to and I think I want to go there for college and go into Nursing or Native Studies. I think an idea on how to relax after a long week of studying is drawing or writing. Maybe painting because I love to do all of those things when I want to relax. Or maybe even taking a walk, I always walk down the beach when I’m at home and it’s beautiful and green at home so that makes even more perfect. sincerely- MacKayla S. George
