Reflecting on Ethnic Studies Symposium
Through my involvement with the Community Programs Office through the SPACE project, the campaign for the diversity requirement has become increasingly significant for me. I am thankful to be a part of a strong community, Samahang Pilipino and the Community Programs Office, that supports as well as understands the need for relevant education. This community is not only full of passionate...

Straight up frustrated and angry with the fact that financial literacy is something so hard to attain. I’m also frustrated with the lack of resources to address this issue. Financial literacy is a privilege and is not accessible to people who come from lower socioeconomic status or immigrant communities. Whenever I want to sit down and write a blog, I get overwhelmed by just my feelings and...

"I never let my schooling get in the way of my...
At the turn of the 20th century, Mark Twain said, “I never let my schooling get in the way of my education.” The real irony is how true this statement is to this day, a century later, when people believe we are at the greatest point of advancement in our history. The question is, whose history? From a glance at history textbooks from elementary onto high school, the winners wrote the books....

cleaning
and let me tell you, it’s amazing what you can tolerate until you start cleaning up and realize, “how did i LIVE with this mess?” metaphor for life if i ever heard one.

When Books Could Change Your Life: Why What We... →
thealvisin:
It’s not that children’s books are pure entertainment, innocent of any didactic goal—what grownups enviously call “Reading for Fun.” On the contrary, the reading we do as children may be more serious than any reading we’ll ever do again. Books for children and young people are unashamedly prescriptive: They’re written, at least in part, to teach us what the world is like, how people...

I want to go home
Sometimes when I’m alone, sad/frustrated/mad/bored, I think those words. “I want to go home.” And it doesn’t necessarily mean to my home in Carson. Sometimes I’ll think “I want to go home” lying in my own bed. I wonder what it means.
Arizona bans ethnic studies in public schools →
american-apologies:
From CNN:
“The new law forbids elementary or secondary schools to teach classes that are ‘designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group’ and advocate ‘the overthrow of the United States government’ or ‘resentment toward a race or class of people.’”
Hmm, it makes you wonder, why would anyone have any resentment towards privileged whites who have historically...

Hoarding: When Too Much 'Stuff' Causes Grief (NPR) →
psychotherapy:
“For the past decade, psychologists Randy Frost and Gail Steketee have studied hoarders: people who compulsively acquire a lot of stuff, and then have difficulty discarding the objects they obtain.
In their book Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things, the two researchers detail how compulsive behaviors drive sufferers to pile objects throughout their homes....
30 Lessons I Learned From My Mom
1. Just do your best and I’ll be proud of you. Growing up, this was one of the things my mother told me most. It was also one of the things I needed to hear the most. Throughout my educational career, throughout many cross country and track seasons, throughout the rigor of academic decathlon, she always told me “do your best and I’ll be proud of you.” I never wanted to let...
What I realized while cooking and cleaning
My sister and I were hella spoiled, no joke. We didn’t do chores, mom let us do literally whatever we wanted. We weren’t rich, so we weren’t spoiled in getting material things, but still when we were tired from sports or school, momma let us rest while she cooked and cleaned for us. Living in the apartments now, getting my own groceries, handling my own budget, cleaning up after...
