Been a while ;)

Hey everyone!!! So a lot of things have happened..

First of all, I drove alone for the first time and I'm still alive to tell the tale! This has been a huge landmark for me (don't laugh), I'm so excited to start gaining more confidence in my driving skills!

Me driving to Marlhurst for volunteering!! 

Second, junior college prep day was EXTREMELY helpful. We started our resumés, filled out the common app, and started our faifsa!! I wouldn't even know where to start if we didn't have a day dedicated to just these things, so grateful that SMA holds events like these for their students. We didn't get through all of it, but it's so nice to have a starting place and somewhere to continue from.

Third of all, the AAYLC (Asian American Youth Leadership Conference) was absolutely spectacular... Never have I ever seen so many Asian people in one room. We did several work shops, from dealing with micro aggressions to learning about Japanese internment camps during WWII. it was truly enlightening. And speaking of all things Asian... I'm going to be an official APIC (Asian Pacific Islander Club) leader next year, definitely something to look forward to!

Certified member of the NHS :) 

And lastly... I GOT INTO NHS (National Honors Society) ! I'm so excited to have the opportunity to tutor and help people, as well as be part of such an amazing program! I hope it'll help me break out of my shell as well :)

Have a WONDERFUL week of studying and finals prep sma, my prayers go out to all of you!
