take my hand

Take my hand, I'll teach you to dance
I'll spin you around, won't let you fall down.
Would you let me lead?
You can step on my feet
Give it a try, it'll be alright

Cause lovers dance when they're feeling in love
Spotlight shining, it's all about us
And every heart in the room will melt
This is a feeling I've never felt
But it's oh, oh, all about us :)

All About Us by He is We

my new favy song f'sho.

I am thankful for our friendship and a million things other beautiful things God has blessed me with.

therapy

"The truth is everyone is going to end up hurting you. you just have to find the people worth suffering for,"

In the end of it all, it's been a fun adventure with its laughter, crying, and everything in between. I wouldn't have asked for it any other way. People change and feelings change, there really isn't anything that controls that. Even though we've changed, and we're finding our own place in the world, when we find love, when we let go of love, when the tears fall or the happy smile spreads across your face; no matter where this crazy world takes us, we'll always have our moments together and our friendship.

I will miss you, but this time I'll remember all the lovely memories we shared. Maybe one day in the distant future we can hang out and be friends. Until then, I hope life treats you well and I hope you'd wish the same for me.

We crossed paths for a reason, and the planets align in a particular season.

my normal approach is useless here

there is a river.

it's interesting to see different types of personalities come out through art even if it's in coaster form.

coasters from color me mine with antonio.

after a long hiatus from blogging, i figured perhaps i should start writing in here again :) today is the first day of september and once again time quickly leaves and school is back before i know it.

I'm considering what I'd like to do once I graduate and my personal fulfillment would be to work for a company that impacts society for the better. They have internships for NIH. Holy criipes. National Institute of Health!!!

that's all for now.

I never stop learning.

First off,

I am honestly SO inspired by the greatness that has been brought to the table by my wonderful new coworkers at Carver Elementary. They are here to help me and open my eyes to brand new possibilities and learning strategies. Something that really stuck out to me was when my boss told me, "You could be doing something that I don't completely agree with, but I will always back you and support you"

Slightly intimidating upon first meeting him, my Site Coordinator is in his mid-thirties and has the stature of a former football player and marine, extremely fit and athletic aka the school's personal jungle gym. However, when he speaks he commands the respect and attention of these children. He said that he is placing pure faith that together, we will make a difference in the lives of these children.

THINK TOGETHER, I have a lot of goals set forth for the following year, especially with the kids that I'm going to be working with.

Teaching

Helping

Inspiring

Nurturing

Kids

Together :)

The one thing that I'd like to learn from Think Together is that acts of kindness, character building, team building are hopefully passed on to the kids and it becomes a trickle effect. If anything, these kids are going to keep me young at heart :P

As for UCI, HOLY MOLY i am going to graduate in a year! WHERE THE HECK DID TIME GO?
