Education

It all started at First Presbyterian Church pre-school in Salinas, California as a young tyke! But my stint was cut short there due to unforeseen differences of opinion.

So I moved on to bigger and better things at Bo-Peep pre-school on the other side of town. I flourished in this learning environment and graduated with top honors.

My learning moved on to Lincoln Elementary School for kindergarten and first grade. Enough said about that.

As my family moved across town, so did my education. Hello Mission Park! The rest of my elementary years were spent on that glorious playground, I mean classroom. ha!

The rough years searching for my identity were spent at Washington Middle School. But hey, everybody is messed up when they’re going through adolescence.

Ode to Salinas High School. I have to say I attended at its prime. Brand new school, great people, great sports program, and an all-around great place to be.

A year at the Air Force Academy has filled my mind with memories for a lifetime! After accumulating 100 tours which equals 100 hours of marching I decided to say bye-bye.

Thus my final stop at UCLA! What a great place to get an education. I graduated with a BA in History and yet my education has just begun!

Genocide in Zimbabwe! May 16, 2008

Mozambique Culture May 14, 2008
During my stay the differences in culture fascinated me. I recorded as much as I could to present you a more holistic view of the country. Mozambique is a very superstitious country. Witchdoctors are prominant. Many who come to faith in Jesus were formerly involved in withchcraft. Cats are feared [...]

Healing? May 11, 2008
4/27/08 Instead of going on a weekend outreach I decided to stay at the center and hang out with the boys. My choice was well worth it. Today at church I sat behind a young boy in a makeshift stroller/wheelchair. The boy is sick, very sick. I found out later that he [...]
