Workshop Day!!
Thursday
July 22, 2011
As of right now, I am not just patting myself on the back, but I have written myself a personal cheer because today I broke the my limit of how many people I could direct in 20 minutes. Lets play with some numbers so you have an idea. Today was workshop day, this is the day that poets have signed up to several different workshops like, beat boxing, improv, emotion control...

Ahhh Brave New Voices is here and I managed to get no sleep last night. I had this weird excitement, one similar to the night before a field trip when your in elementary school. Tossing and turning, short dreams about all the things that can go wrong, like oversleeping, missing the bus, getting lost, and not having your permission slip! Yeah thats what last night was for...

Woah today was hectic. BNV is defiantly about to go down! I spent more time at my internship today then I did all summer. I didn’t get home until 8 but that was okay with me, anything that keeps me occupied makes me happy. Not hard work though I did things like put together supply boxes and order bagels for 66 people online.
Interestingly enough, I met up with my a...

Have you ever looked in a mirror and wondered why they were made? Like who thought it would be convenient to stare at yourself..let me make sure my hair is right, and that my cloths look neat. I would probably not being saying this if I weren’t sitting in front of my closet here that is a floor to ceiling mirror. But lately I have found myself paying way to much...

Firstly, I must apologize for my lack of blogging in this past week. My brain has been so caught up in my curriculum, reading, this summer course, and this internship that I have learned not to save this blog writing for the last portion of my day. Lately I have been in the bed by 11 o’clock..and for those of you who know me, know that this time is early for me....

Today has proved to me that no matter how rough your mornings are you just shouldn’t chalk up your day as a bad one before lunch. Internship is still a bit shaky but its bound to change.
Its funny, as I worked my way through what I thought was the red sea for it was a bunch of elementary aged students who were wearing the same red summer camp shirts, I realized that...
Ahhh... Breath... :)

I’m currently working on inhaling and exhaling with ease, its one of those things that have so much power over how I deal with the unexpected road blocks. Today was my second day at the internship and lets just say that things are slow to start. I guess its something that comes with my generation, I don’t like too many things that take time to build up...

I spent the day reading a book that was trying to convince me that the pursuit of happiness didn’t /shouldn’t just have to come in a time of adversity. Before I get into that, may I point out that this is the first time that I have read a book in one day. More than likely, it was because I was challenged to do so but, that’s besides the point. I...

Youth Speaks

Today I started my internship at Youth Speaks and it was nothing short of amazing. I find that “first days” at any point in my life are always nerve racking. I mean lets face it no one wants to feel socially rejected and I have this fear every time I step foot into a new social realm. Thankfully my new colleagues at Youth Speaks are nice people :)
Weirdest part of...

My first weekend in San Francisco was defiantly one for the books. I managed to get lost a hundred times, walk across Golden Gate bridge, walk not only down but back up the world’s crookedest street ( which is also after the world’s steepest street), find the hot spot for Burritos in San Fran and last but not least I had the chance to do it all with a great friend...
Hello Summer 2011

I am learning how important titles are in this writing business. Note that the name of this blog for the summer is Happy Accidents. Though Webster suggests that most accidents result in injury and/ or damage I must disagree. Some of my greatest feats thus far have been from accident. As in something I didn’t particularly plan..something that just literally...
