Angela; Good Day

On Wednesday, we got up early in the morning as usual and ate breakfast. After breakfast we headed off to Newport. On the road we talked about different, silly things, and we also played a game called Mafia, Interesting game. I got tired so I just listened to my Ipod and fell asleep. When I woke up we were in the parking lot of the Newport Aquarium. I loved it there! There was so many Critters and exciting things to see. Later that day, we headed off to lunch and ate at McDonald's and had a good time with everyone. After Lunch, we made our way towards "The Devil's Punch Bowl", the beach. It was cold, windy, and cloudy for the most part although I forgot about the weather and just enjoyed my time there. We played volleyball, and created a pyramid with the whole group, that is something that I'd never done in my life. Anyways, I can't say it any better myself, It was a good day!

Angela; Activities!

The activities that we do here at the intitute are fun and exciting. The group got the chance to bowl, play pool, and just have fun. I love the activities that they make us play here, it gives us the chance to challenge our selvs, work as a team, and perhaps also teaching us a life lesson from the activities. One game that we played with our group was trying to have four people laying on eachothers knees to stay up for a certain amount of time. I liked playing it because it was a good challenge and we learned to work as a team.

Angela; Many Challenges

When I first got to the challenge course, I felt so excited to try something so new that I've never done before in my life. I was amazed to see all the different challenges we were going to do for the day, Not only on the course but also working in a team to create team work. Doing the activities and games with the group taught me to trust, communicate, and most importantly work as a team. During the challenge course, i felt stoked to do the things that i was about to do. As I volunteer my self to go on a challenge i felt terrified, and started to worry about the things that could go wrong. The people around me gave me the motivation to jump off the poll and get it over with. After the challenge, I felt accomplished, proud, and confident that I had completed something that I thought was impossible for me to do. I learned that I sometimes we all have to try new things, and step out of our comfort zones without any exceptions.

Angela:The Beginning

My name is Angela Naranjo, I'm spending the week here at OSU for the Migrant Leadership Institute. While I'm here I want to acknowledge all the things that the mentors will teach us about college education and leadership, and hopefully in the future use them as skills to move ahead. One Motto that reflects who I am would have to be "The only limits you have, are the limits you set yourself." This reflects me in a way where I can do anything or everything if I believe in myself. Also because I shouldn't be afraid of trying new things.
