My TEFL Certification program officially started this last Friday, June 22. I've been living in Orange Country for four days now, it feels like its been longer. We had orientation most of the day on Friday, we had our first class too! Monday all the madness will begin, the real classes will start. I have classes Monday through Friday 9am-3pm except Wednesdays, they decided to give us that day off.
I'm ready and excited for what lies ahead.
FREEDOM. Exactly what one gets with a "greenie", aka Green Card/Permanent Residency. I lived in the U.S. for 20 years, it was a 17 year journey to becoming a "resident alien". I come from outer space, otherwise known as Mexico City. The journey thus far has offered me greater appreciation for this life and I would change none of it. Join me for a different perspective.

Painting Pictures
Today is Sunday June 3rd, I'm house-sitting this week and as always I wake up crazy early when I'm not in my own bed. This will be great for when I'm off in Irvine, I'll have no problem being up early to get to the gym before classes. Woohoo!
I started my morning with breakfast, and stumbled upon "Vanguard: This (Illegal) American Life", hosted by Mariana Van Zeller. What a great illustration of the two sides of this story. Allow me to share the trailer with you, just click on trailer. I tried to find the full episode but had no luck, maybe one of you will have better luck finding it, if you do please share it. I highly recommend you get your hands on it if you can. If I haven't been successful at painting a picture for you of what it is like to live undocumented you must watch this. Mariana I want to thank you for reporting on such a controversial and important part of this society.
This episode brought back all I ever felt and lived through and I could no be happier to be on the other end of this. To all those who are still waiting for their lives to be in their hands, be strong, life will get to you. I promise you that all your tears will not go unnoticed. Be strong and brave, you've made it this far.
MUCH LOVE!!!
PS: Today is exactly one month til my birthday!
