There was some sadness. We were given some information about the new budget crisis. PCC's budget is decreasing 9. something perscent. All community colleges are for that matter. And the government is increasing the cal states and other universities by like 2.some %.
We have lost 130 classes. And there will only be one summer term instead of two. Which is not good for me because i have to be there another semester. aaauuugghh!!! talk about bad luck.
This coming the state capitol is going to have a community college rally. So, PCC is flying some of the student reps up there to stand for what we believe is right.
There is another rally in downtown LA on the 27 of march. We are planning on taking around 300 students to it.
Just pray that we don't lose all that money. A lot of students are gone have drop out and try a different route. Well, i have check out and do some homework. peace.
Hello everyone. Well, we did it. We got MTC charter. It felt good. Me and Joey were happy that we accomplished something. I got up and said a few words about the club. All other club reps were there. About 60 of them. They were excited about the club. I mentioned Intervarsity and some people were like yeah. Alright.
Plus, i think they all liked me. More then a few people came up to me and introduced themselves. The chairperson was nice. Liliana is her name.
One person was tripping about how many Christian clubs there are at PCC. But the student government reps that were there were like, it's ok. Not everyone has the same ideas. We are excited they are here.
yorale!!!!!!!!!!!!que pasa. well, school is going good. Today our club MTC(more than conquerors) is going to be charter through the Pasadena City College. It feels good, i'm just waiting for time to come is going to happen in a couple of minutes. I'm just waiting for my partner in crime Joey. We are the foundizzos.
I'll post up a picture laterz . Take it easy grizzies.

There is a lot of things that i've learned this year. Wisdom on all different kinds of things. And yet i get scared when i say it. Because i don't want to sound prideful.
I was thinking about how many people come to all the different ministries there are out there. A lot of people keep walking and others stay. I was pondering on how as a community one can help that person to achieve for what they want and not rely so much on others.
To the point where they think of themselves as bigger then what is going on around them. And expect everything to be handed to them. I don't see the help in that.
Some people might disagree with me on that.

Orale, que pasa raza. I'm at the famous Equator cafe place. I'm with a group from a church up in Altadena. Cool people. I broght my friend Julio. So, he can get out. I don't really know what to write. Its all good.
I'm in the fifth week of school. It's going good so far. I'm enjoying the classes that i have right now. We are getting deep into the Malcom X story. This coming week we are gone be watching the Spike Lee movie off the Malcom X book by Alex Hailey. It's good.
I respect Malcom. He was a man that wasn't afraid to change when he knew he was wrong.

Hey! i'm back. Class was short today. We were just finishing an assignment and then we were free to go. I been thinking about my life growing up and trying to figure out what is the number one reason why I didn't end up in jail or killed. Or doing something meaningless with my life.
I realized the numero uno reason was that people didn't give up on me. I remember when my friends Glenn and Sheryl followed me home one morning after I had quit Jubilee. I don't know why they did it. But i'm sure glad they did. They problably spent about two or three hours at home with me. Until i gave in and told them what was going on. That was problably the first time i cryied my eyes off and felt some true healing. They prayed for me after. And it was a blessing for me. I went back and finished Jubilee. Of coure not before rebelling again. But they never gave up on me.
And that is very important for everyone. When you have somebody to believe in you. You feel supported, loved, wanted and so many other things that drive your soul. Thank you guys. That is just one story. I got more.
Plese pray for me if you read this. I need to continue to hold my faith. And be reminded that God loves me. A lot of times it's easy to forget when life throws you some curve balls. But God is good. Amen.
I was trying to think about how to explain what God has been doing with me. I don't know if it's just that i'm older then last year. But I feel like a layer of scales(spell?) was taking off my eyes. I notice i was able to see things in a whole new way. It's almost like stepping away from my life and my relationships and looking into them. Just watching the way i was headed. It's good. I don't know how to really explain it. But it's good

I was also thinking how as Christians we take it as our job to judge when others come to us for help and understanding. Too often we take as our job to talk to others in a judging way. And forget that is Gods job in the after life. We are call to support each other in love and understanding. All this stuff that God has been revealing to me it's too good.
Well, gotta go to my class. Peace
