Fun day! Mariela

On Wednesday I had lots of fun. I had lots of fun at the aquarium. I learned lots about the animals that live int he ocean. My favorite sea animal that they had was the jellyfish. They caught my attention, I thought they were really interesting. After that we went to eat McDonald's we had fun eating there. The best part of the day was when we went to the beach. I thought it was going to be cold but it was pretty warm. I did get wet but no all my body.

Awsome day

Yesterday we did the usuall woke up, ate, etc. Then we got ready to go to the Oregon Coast Aquarium and the beach. We saw many diffrent animals, and it was cool to see the sea lions get feed. After that we went to the beach. We played vollyball, soccer, human pyramid which hurt, and getting in the water. It was really cold since i did not have a sweater. it was an awsome day.

A day at the aquarium and the beach, Leticia

The funnest day was when we went to the aquarium and to the beach even though it was really cold outside. On our way to the beach we passed to McDonald's, so we ordered our food there and ate there. After we were done we went to the lab I thought it was fun because my group was really funny so I had a great time doing this with them. We touched some sea cretures and disected a squid. After that we left the beach and it was really cold but I had fun and We played volleyball for a while then we started to do a human pyramid but It was tireing. After a while we walked and then we went in the water and climbed some rocks and we went on the other side and took some pictures with the girls. I got some scratches. Then we we were done we went to go pick our stuff of because we were leaving already and we were going to go eat dinner so we did and we ate some pizza and cake.It was one of those days to remember.

Beach: Laura

Good times are the best to remember the that day right? Well for sure I will remember yesterdays trip to the beach and aquarium. I had a really good time with my new friend Cecilia, Patty and Noemi. There the best three girls to hag out with, they love to laugh and make me laugh.

When we got to the beach I wasn't that sure to get in to the water but as I got to see others get in with no fear to the coldness well I decided to go for it too. Not knowing what I was getting my self in to I just went for it, it was really cold but as my feet started to freeze and I started to not feel them I let my self go. That's when I noticed that little things like that can hold me back from having a bit more fun with my friend and my self. I felt good of not being scared of the cold water and not holding my self back and just being my self.

I love this whole expirience that we have had as a group and hope to come back soon. I'm going to miss all the staff, but I'll try to keep in touch with all of them.

Que dia es hoy : David

The Bridge of Knowledge: Humberto

Today we did the bridge of knowledge and the egg drop. Before the activity I thought it was going to be boring. But at the end it was pretty fun especially cool when we dropped the eggs down a three story building. After a while we started playin dodgeball it was crazy people were throwing balls really hard and fast so fast that the people taking pictures got a lot of blurry shots.

Dodge Ball/Activites Victor

Today it was awsome. We started early jogging and then played vollyball. We ate a great breakfast then changed for a group discussion. We talked about many important things. We talked about what is our plan for the future, things we need to improve in life and much more. We ate and went to play dodgeball. It was really fun playing.

Time to learn oyu guys: Laura

What can I say? Learning here a the institute is not the same as at the high school, it's actually interesting here, you learn things that you can actually apply during daily bases. For example we have learned about developing relationships, understanding your own potential and other people's too. These are only some of the things that we have learn, but as you can see you can apply these things during your day while talking to some body or working with some body. It's hard if you think about it but if you put effort in to it you can catch on and understand about what these things mean in life.

We read a story about how a person when out in search of leading people, but he can across someone much smarter then him so he thought he should fallow that person instead. Eventually he got tiered and thought that if he showed other what he knew they would fallow him, so he did and for his surprise no one fallowed or even listen. He felt confused and didn't know what to do, he thought that he was doing well and that he was the best. Until one day we approached a group of people trying to work hard on something as a group so he decided to help them out. He had not noticed that he was having fun and felt good about him self for what he had done, but he was still confused about why no one thought of him as a leader. Well he asked one of the people that were there and their response was "If you let go of your self a bit and for get about just your self, and work with others people then see you as a leader. A leader is some one that cares about others and doesn't expect something out of everything they do".

This story truly made me think about what I have done in the past when it comes to me leading a group. I recognise that I had times in which I was not thinking like a leader but other in which I was. So now every time I'm in a group I try really hard to help others, be nice, make them feel like part of the group and anything in between that I can do. I truly enjoy being here and hope to learn more and take it home with me to apply in my daily life if possible

Challenge Course, Leticia

When I first got to the challenge course, I felt excited but also nervous and I knew it was going to be difficult but fun. We played many activities where we had to help each other out so that we could solve the challenge. At first we did some thinking and we were talking about how we should figure it out but then we got the hang of it. We were all having fun because everyone had a smile on their face. While we were there was a really high pole that was called Planck , it was a long log of wood which we had to walk with a partner in opposite sides, there was a stairs to climb up and from there we had to reach the top until we were standing up and we would have to wait for our partner to reach the top too, so we could both walk at the same time and meet the middle, but for me that was the part that made me nervous because we both had to figure out how to get on the other side without falling. We wore a helmet and a belt to be safety during the challenge. I remember looking down and I thought I wasn't going to make it to the other side but eventually I did without falling and I did it. At first I wasn't going to try it out but then I thought it would be my only oppurtunity so that was what made me climb up.

Challenge Course: Mariela

When I first got at the challenge course, I felt excited because i knew we were going to have fun. Even though I didn't participate on the on the activities I kinda had fun. I learned that you need to trust on the people that are part of you. I also learned that if you trust people you can accomplish your goal.

Las loqueras de hoy : David

Bowling and Sick day Victor

Today was cool. We woke up and got ready. We ran 1 mile and streched. Then we went to the challenge course. Then i got sick and went to sleep and took medicine. The food they give here is good but you have to get use to it. No more Burritos and Tacos for me. Then we went bowling. We played diffrent games like pool, foosball, and video games.

Challenge: Laura

When I first got to the challenge course I was so excited, I felt like I had a rush of energy I wanted to do everything by the end of the day, but I couldn't get to do everything on time. I was spending too much time on thinking on witch one I was going to get on first but by the end of the day I only got through one obstacles course. I believe it was the most scariest one out of all of them but I made it to the top and came back down in one piece. While going up the post for the challenge (called "Power Post") I was thinking to my self " Your so crazy and there is no way to turning back so you better get over it as soon as you can". I had so many emotions going through me like anxious, afraid, nervous, brave and proud of my self for getting so high up with out giving up to soon. In another way I also thought that I looked really cute with all the gear on. Today I had so much fun and can't wait for more to come.

Osu 1 day: David

Today was my first day at OSU. It was fun because my facilitators in my group are so funny. What I liked more was the game (what are you doing) and when the staff talk about their lives.

It's All About Me...: Mariela

I'm here because I want to know more about college. I want to know how I can come to college and find out want I want to be when I graduate from high school. I also want to meet new people. I want to experience how college is. A motto that reflects who I am is do what you like not what your friends like.

Spending Time In OSU, Leticia

Hi, My name is Leticia and today is my first day here at OSU and Im having a good time. The reason I am here is because I want to learn how it feels to be in college and learing a new experience that I might not have later on. I think this is a good opportunity to be here because you get to talk to people more and learn things that you might not know. I learned many things that were interesting and they gaved us really good advices that we should do later on selecting a college and choosing classes for a better future. I want to learn more about it so I can make a good decision later on. While I am here I think I can do it later in the future, this experience will help me.

Who am I? : Laura

Hi there, my name is Laura.

Today is my first day at OSU I'm here because I was choosen to be one of the lucky ones to come to a leader ship confrence. I like it here so far not boring how i thought it would, it's fun now that I'm letting my self get out there and meet new people. I hope to gain new friends and new goals to my life. I miss my family but I also love it over here, it was scary when I had got here today in the morning but right away I started talking to the girls. Now I'm just excited to see what other things we are going to do during this week. My motto for my life is to
