on partings

last year, i got to create a program from scratch and today was my last day working with the teacher and class until i move back to the bay.

i’m proud of the work i got to do in the san gabriel valley, the connections i got to make and the relationships i got to build.

this past year and a half of work has grown me in more ways than i could have ever imagined and challenged me to take ownership of my leadership.

i don’t know what the future holds in the bay area, but for now, i can close this chapter and say damn that was good.

the class I work with made me this card! forget getting college degrees, this means much more.

on the similarities between applying to jobs and dating

there’s this one job that’s super dope, so hot and so fine. it’s like the perfect fit for me in my opinion and i’m the perfect fit for it! the whole world would be better off if it got back to me already and we’d just do so well together. it’s like we went on one date and it was giving me all these signals like it was into me and i was all showing signs i felt the same way. it was like one of those dates you go on where at the end, you’re left wondering “did that really just happen?” because like magic, it just seemed so spectacularly unreal. but then since then, there’s this unexplainable radio silence all like what?! all like but it gave me its digits and suggested that it’d give me a call back in a week! what about the sparks we had?

now there’s these other jobs out there that seem interested in me and i’m semi-interested in them, but it’s like comparing apples to oranges because what we had was so much more. so why don’t you pick up that phone and call me??
