It’s Been Fun…

tonight was my agency’s fundraising auction and dinner.  it was my last event before completely leaving the agency.  the event was fun.  everyone was dressed up nicely and worked together.  we have gotten many compliments for being so organized, which was nice.  a lot of us had put a lot of hard work into this, and i am glad that it was a sucess. 

however at the end, it was bittersweet goodbye for me.  it would be my last time to see most of my co-workers for a while. i like these people and i miss them. so i took the opportunity to take a few pictures with the ones that i worked with.  unfortunately some had already left for the night. i wish i had brought my camera with me as i was helping out.  i thought it would be a hassle if i did, so i didn’t. i didn’t want people to take it either. (not that they would… since people paid big money just to get in. but you’d never know)

but i am glad that i was able to have somewhat of a “proper” goodbye with one co-worker before i left though. i actually knew him for the two years i volunteered/interned at the agency. he was one of the first people that I met, and we’ve been friends. he did not realize i was leaving. ironic huh? due to our schedule and timing, i never got a chance to tell him that i was parting from the agency soon. so it was nice to let him know what i’m doing and say goodbye. 

i miss these people.

I Know It’s A Little Bit Early, But…

this coming weekend i will be giving a campus tour to my middle school girls in the after-school program.  i don’t know where i am going to take them yet.  they for sure wanted to see my dorm.  i think that’s what they are most excited about.  during the few hours we are going to be touring the campus, we would be walking around the u-district annual fair.  it was planned on that day, so then they would be able to have something else other than the campus to look at.

i’m rather excited about this.  i believe that everyone should have the right to choose to live a decent life, and these days often entails going to college.  even tho there seems to be a lot of asians on campus compares to other minority groups, i am hoping this trip will give my girls some exposure to college.  just so that they would know about it and be encouraged to go in their future, despite their home circumstances.  this is not about statistics.  i was fortunate enough to be in a family who supports my education, and i just want my girls to be informed about college as well.   so later in their lives they can have a choice to go.
