Accomplishments- 2007

Reflecting the last 12 months, I feel that we should remind ourselves of the minor or major accomplishments we've done. Personally, I can safely admit I'm happy God bestowed me the following accomplishments:












- Los Angeles Marathon, 3/5/07 - Accomplishing my personal goal of running under 6 hrs
- La Jolla 1/2 Marathon, 4/07- Accomplishing another personal goal of running 2 1/2 hrs
- Mending through the hurt of a broken relationship/being stronger from it, 3/07
- Surpassing the summer semester- 2 classes and working full-time (This was definitely not an easy task; First time I was about to crack; Anatomy/Physiology was not good for my health)
- Traveled to Dominican Republic- summer- 2 weeks of construction & running a summer children's program
- Finally took a swimming class- Just need to Practice, Practice, Practice!
















Places traveled:
- Las Vegas, NV (Jan, Feb, Apr)

- Orlando, FL (Feb)
- San Francisco/Bay area (Jul)
- Dominican Republic (Jul-Aug)
- El Hongo, Mexico (Nov)


Volunteered:
- National Homeless Count (made my face in the OC Times)- Jan
- Human Trafficking Conference- Feb
- Fibromyalgia Conference- May
- Dominican Republic- Summer
- Midnight Mission Homeless Shelter- Sept
- Fibromyalgia study- Oct
- Flying Samaritan clinic- Nov
- Planned Parenthood- Dec


This year has had its rises & downfalls. My grandmother passed away in June; I was with someone who broke up with me; I was sick numerous times (Primarily due to stress & trying to juggle multiple tasks simultaneously.) But despite it all, it's been a blessed year. Thanks to the High Almighty, I've overcome personal challenges successfully. I maintained A's & B's in all my classes for Fall 07 (This is self-noteworthy as I was taking 15 units). I'm also looking forward to receiving my undergrad degree in Spring (finally!) & entering (trying to) the Masters program in Public Health Fall 08. To close 2007, the icing on my cake was meeting someone who I simply fancy.


That said, I wish you a joyous 2007 & a blessed upcoming 2008. May Peace & Serenity endure & capture you.
