Inspiring Future Community Leaders Talk

In due time...

In due time all things will happen. I had the best meeting of my life on Monday January 7, 2013! I met with a community coordinator from the Jacob Center and was asked if I would be a speaker for a group of kids from at-risk communities. I will help them become change agents to effect lasting changes within themselves and their communities. I was also asked to be a part of some great community outreach programs that will help educate families of their legal rights and various other issues involving education among others.
I am elated and cannot wait to begin this journey! I am a change agent and my mission is to help people, help others. Doing for self it great; doing for others is even better!

The Possibilties

Happy New Year!
2013 is going to be a great year and it already starting off with a lot of promise. I am making it my goal this to get involved with non-profit organizations to learn the business and work on starting my own this year.
So in order to begin this journey I figured I would volunteer and help the community and learn the business. I began contacting people through email to find an opportunity and nothing happened for about a month. Right after New Year I inquired again and the individual at the Jacob Center wanted to know more about me and stated that they are looking for speakers for a teen retreat they are planning and I could possibly be considered.
For some that is not a big deal but that is what my dream is and the possibilities are coming to light. This year will be the year that dreams come true!

Great Kids, Great Cause

Crowdfunding

Omar and Lorena are trying to go to a youth retreat with their church Victory Outreach. It will be there first time being a part of this experience. There is an expense involved and they are asking for your help with donations. Any amount will help. They will be going to Williams, AZ right before Christmas. Omar is an extremely gifted young man who wants a future in Engineering and Lorena loves to dance. This experience will help these children have an experience of a life time.

First mini-podcast

I'm running!

My running is progressing. My weight isn't going down and that is making it rough for me to run longer times and distances. I will be up to 4 min max run on my next workout and I cannot remember the last time I ran 4 mins straight! My last workout I ran a total of 3 mins max. I ran a total of 10 mins which is technically a mile. So my weight is increasingly becoming a factor in running and I need to lose some LB's! My legs are some tree trunks so maybe all the weight is going to my thighs in the form of muscles! That's what I'll think! I miss those 1 min max runs! lol...

I have yet to make my fatty to 5k blog but I wanted to jot down my progress so far with my running.
I began on the 8th and that first workout took some getting used to. I ran a total of 6 minutes off and on. You run for a min and walk for a minute and a half. I am now 6 workouts into this app and I've ran a total of 9 mintues with a max of 1.5 mintues. The workouts are steadily progressing but I am a three times better runner. I am shooting for a 5k in January benefiting the SDSU baseball team. My legs are stronger and I am in much better shape than when I started.

I still want to make that blog but I've been busy with an online Spanish class. Michael Concepcion reporting! I'll take video of a run one day and post it!
