I had no idea it’d be that emotional for me. Here’s what I wanted to say to all of you.
My name is Laila Navil Molina Licea and I want to make a difference with each passing year.
I was not only born in Mexico, but planted into shattered soil and broken winds only to rise and learn to grow…
This is so beautiful :)

When the lights go down in the city
And the sun shines on the bay.
I want to be there in my city.
Summer Goal #1 — visit SF as much as possible this summer. One of the best cities in the world is so close, and I never go.

Random thoughts on a Monday
There’s something really powerful about telling people how awesome they are. I think we always want praise for ourselves to make us feel appreciated, and sometimes we forget the amazing feeling that comes with thanking another person. In helping people realize their potentials and attributes, we find ours.
We should start doing it more often, ya know?

I realize more and more every day how badly I want to be a teacher.
Today, I started tutoring a 3rd grader named Vanessa. Her dad told me that he works a lot and doesn’t always have the time to help her with her homework. I resisted the urge to say “I’ll seriously come every day to help her! You don’t need to pay me!” I just hate to see her struggling when I have...

Dear St. Valentine,

Immediate family:
Dad - Joe: He used to work on a railroad.
Mom - Colleen: She framed a picture of John F. Kennedy in our house just because she admires him.
Brother - Patrick: He plays Black Ops for like 350 hours a day, but when he isn’t losing brain cells, he can do a sweet Slovakian accent & language. He even convinced his classmates that he was adopted from Slovakia.

Day 3 - Seven (Shocking!*) Secrets
In all honesty, I don’t have any juicy secrets. Whether or not this means I am boring, that is up to you to decide. ;)
But I do have some funny stories that could be secrets!
The Chamber of Secrets
My family stopped in Angels Camp when I was little and my brother was about 3 or 4. When we got back in the car, my brother showed me that he had stolen some rocks from this store (he...
Day 2 - 10 random facts about yourself
I’ve never gone real camping *Gasp* and nor do I really want to. I like camping in my backyard so when it’s cold I can go inside ^_^
When I first was learning how to talk, my parents watched the O.J. Simpson trials every day. Thus, one of my first words was a mumbled “Objection!”
I like cubed ice on most days and crushed ice on hot days lol
I just made orange juice...
Day 1 - Five most important childhood memories
My childhood was spent in Oakland until I was 5 years old, when my family moved to Pleasanton. I remember a lot about Oakland - the city feel, the lake, the traffic, the trees down my street, my neighbors. Everything at the time seemed important and exciting. From what I remember about myself, I was wild, courageous, and love struck with my red-headed, 6 year old neighbor Noah. Like Juliet, I...
