Today is the eve of the arrival of the entire youth group. As the first four students have arrived, every one of the mentors has expressed excitement for what is in store. During lunch we had the wonderful opportunity to meet a few of the Lummi Students, Rolando, Issac, Nathen and Kayani. Though conversation with them was brief, the initial connections with them seem quite promising. Nathen, is a Boston Celtics fan. Something that would irk me if he were not my mentee because I am a Los Angeles Lakers fan (having grown up in Southern California and falling in love with basketball at the four years young). Needless to say these teams are historic rivals. Nevertheless, I see only positive things in store for the next two weeks.

It’s Day 3 here at the Pitzer Pipeline to College program. Thus far, I am greatly impressed at how much fun this is, and how much there is to do on campus. I’m becoming friends with everyone here in the program, including the mentors, I feel like I made a real connection with the mentor that I was driving with on the way to Agua Caliente, which was really funny and cool. From now on I’m driving with Rebecca because I know that I have someone to play car games and tell random stories with. Agua Caliente itself was alright, too much talking for me honestly. I had fun working on the Video Game group project, I didn’t win, but c’est la vie.
