Angel Chavez

I feel like I'm chasing my own tail here. I've had to laugh at the things life has been throwing at me recently because it's the only way I can cope. My patience for normalcy is being tested and I'm being as proactive as I possibly can be. I can't wait for things to settle down.

Today Maria, Joaquin, and I finished our Cesar Chavez service project and it was a huge success. We went to an elementary school by South Gate, the neighborHOOD by Compton. At the school, we taught the students about farm work and planting. They had the opportunity to plant a few seeds themselves, and we educated them on Cesar Chavez and his struggle for farmers rights by reading to them. One of the books we read from was an illustrated picture book which made Cesar Chavez's biography sound like a story of legends. I began to think of my own story. If someone was to write one about my life up until this point, what would my heroic tale say? How has my past shaped my life purpose? What is my goal? What is my journey?

For me to know, and you to find out.
