My heart feels so full watching this video!! I can not put into words how much it meant to me to celebrate the Mission Market's Grand Opening with the community and all the folks who played a part in its journey. Can you believe we clear almost 3,000 pounds of food before Thursday even hits the week?? How lucky are we to be partnering with Second Harvest of Silicon Valley who provides all this food!!! I’ve poured so much into this place. From managing lines out the door to bagging and stocking groceries like crazy with my amazing student workers, it’s been a wild ride. Watching it grow has been so emotional for me. And I feel authentically myself in there, especially as someone who proudly embodies the Filipino spirit of kapwa, of giving back, of always having enough if we have each other. I tell my director Connor about how the Market has challenged me grow. We basically turned something from paperwork into something that goes into students' hands, and in so many ways, we had to make our best guess on decisions we've never made before (like... how many pounds of potatoes is enough for a college?? We had no clue). This project has made me so much more confident in leaning into the unknown, and I hope that shows in my work now. Running the Market is easily one of my main joys at work. When you see the Market open on campus, know that it is there because student workers are running it, stocking it, cleaning, wiping, greeting new customers, checking folks in, bagging groceries, and so much more. Take the time to say hello and thank you when you pass by! Lastly - know that basic needs is more than just an on-campus pantry. The higher education world is constantly abuzz about basic needs, and that momentum requires us to keep asking the question "what else can we do?". I look forward to how the higher education world will keep its word to its students, on and off campus.

Just booked my flight to volunteer at this summer's Conscious Discipline Institute! I can't wait to be of service to educators, parents, and anyone else in attendance dedicated to personal and professional growth! To fully capture my excitement, here's a throwback photo from right after presenting a full day of professional learning to educators and parents from across the country at last year's Institute. Nothing brings me greater joy than sharing knowledge and motivation to others! #professionallearning #professionalgrowth #learninganddevelopment

Put in the hard work to learn and grow this new week, because that effort will pay off big in the future. Just like you have to take care of a garden before it can produce a great harvest, your commitment to education and hard work now sets you up for amazing successes later. By dedicating yourself to gaining knowledge today, you're setting the stage for incredible rewards tomorrow. Happy new week. #Educationforchange #Inclusiveeducation #Sustainabledevelopmentgoals #Sdg4 #Girlchildeducation

Great program and opportunity!

The boundaries between segments hold tremendous potential, especially for both academic and CTE dual enrollment. Allowing this to be managed and tracked at the level of students and families, and schools and colleges is critical. However, without adequate software or personal technology these type of strategic and accessible dual enrollment options and pathways are only available to a tiny fraction of the school population and have to managed with adequate human resourcing, which is difficult in budget constrained times.

🎉 Celebrating Success Publicly: A Very Dutch Tradition 🇳🇱 🎒 In the Netherlands, there's a unique and heartwarming tradition: Dutch parents hang their children's school rucksack on a flagpole outside their house to celebrate the success of graduating from school. This beautiful custom not only marks a significant milestone in the child’s life but also sends a powerful message about the importance of celebrating successes publicly. 🏡 Public celebrations of achievements do more than just acknowledge the hard work and dedication it takes to reach a goal. They: - Inspire Others: When successes are shared openly, they motivate and encourage others to strive for their own achievements. 🏆 - Build Community: Public celebrations foster a sense of community and belonging. They bring people together to share in each other’s joy and accomplishments. 🤝 - Boost Confidence 💪: Recognizing and celebrating achievements publicly can significantly boost the confidence and self-esteem of those being celebrated. In our personal and professional lives, we should take a leaf out of the Dutch book and make it a point to celebrate our wins and the wins of those around us. Whether it's a small victory or a significant milestone, let's raise our "flagpoles" high and showcase our rucksacks with pride! 🎒🚩 Let's make celebrating success a part of our culture.
