~:[CH3 - Day 139]:~ Getting Recognized

It was quite a different day as we got let out early due to testing. It allowed me to catch up with an old friend from high school who it was great to catch up with. It's interesting how people change over time and how reconnecting with them can help you rethink all the things that you do as well. We had a great conversation and it made me make a new plan of attack for next year! I am so exited for what's ahead. I headed back to Cerritos and took care of a few odds and ends before heading to city hall in order to receive our Mayoral Proclamation. It's always such a great honor for these student to receive this honor and something that is often taken for granted. It's not all the time you get an award among the 150 other schools in attendance so I am glad to say that they were awarded that. A special thanks to Mayor Mark Pulido for taking the time out to recognize our student. It's always great to catch up with the board members who I have know for so long including Carol Chen and Bruce Barrows. Sitting through all the proclamations, it made me realize that I, myself, have been a city resident for quite some time now (my whole life) and it will be interesting if I ever decide to move. Afterwards, we headed to BJs to celebrate as a team, as we scarfed down trays of appetizers, salad, pizza, pasta, and of course pizookies. I am grateful that I have such great friends, supporters, and of course, students who always put their best foot forward and who all deserve to get recognized for all the wonderfulness they bring to the world.
