A Kind of Needed Break

It’s been about 5 months since I’ve said anything. People have been wondering where I’ve gone or what I’ve been up to. Truthfully, I just needed a break and just explored the world. I spent my summer with the friends I grew up with, now that they’re back in our hometown. I went to Mammoth, went out so many late nights, and even got an internship and special accelerator program at UCLA. I’ll write about those experiences later, but for now the main idea of this article is a reaffirmation of dedication.

The theory about habits is true. Once you start, it’s hard to stop. Not only was me taking a break a major reason behind my absence, but also my increasing duties as the El Camino College Student Trustee. It’s not an easy job, meeting after meeting, lot’s of agendas to review in advance, and dedication to our Associated Student Government that can take up to 40 hours per week. It’s a lot, but I ultimately can’t complain as it’s the role I chose to pursue and the one I ran for during the election.

Not only that, but this semester has been extremely challenging. Electromagnetism is one of the two physics courses I’m in, and it is extremely difficult. I believe I underestimated its difficulty as I did poorly on the first exam but I brought it back with the second one. Hopefully I get an A, but only time will tell.

Ultimately, I just needed a break, but now I’m back for the rest of this year and beyond, because I have a lot of plans for this website and I won’t let my ideas stay as just ideas.
