Hi Mama,
I just want to thank you for the gorgeous scarfs. I love scarfs! We thought it's one for each of us, but were surprised that both were for me. I was puzzled that they look like for ladies not for men. Oh! I'm so thankful. I sure will wear them, feeling warm and beautiful, walking around the campus.
I was busy with my midterm exams and assignment. Now on top of that, I formed an student organization called Asian-Pacific Studies In America at California State University Dominguez Hills, which we shorten it as ASIA@CSUDH. There was a little campus politic and power struggle involved between my professor and Student organization center. I thank God for the opportunity that I finally put it together and most of the members are non-Asians nor Pacific Islanders. That's the purpose for me to form the organization. This way we can really make awareness of Asian Pacific Studies Program in campus. Secondly, most Asians and Pacific Islanders more or less already know their own cultures. It's the ASIA@CSUDH's intention to open it's members' minds through exploration and appreciation of varies Asian-Pacific cultures. Thirdly, the organization is not only about having fun, but it also provides the members academic help, career preparation and discovering each member's strengths to build up each one's character in a positive way to impact our own lives and others.
It's a bit tough to schedule the meeting that fits every member's busy schedule, but I'm thankful that God sends talented people to me, so I can form the team in less than 2 weeks. Now all the sudden, I have friends on campus after 3 lonely semesters.
I feel that I'm over another hump of my life. God is shaping me in a good way, just I don't know where will this leads me to. From Human Service Introduction class, I realized that there are many ways to provide help to the needed. I started to think outside the box and finding my niche. The process of organizing the student club is such a good learning process for me. I realize that we can help people directly or indirectly through many forms.
I'll be working on my paper for site-visit of human services organizations and continue studying for my one last midterm exam this weekend. I hope you have a relaxed not so busy weekend.
hugs,
