It has been a while since I have blogged. I have been busy trying to do work with the youth of our state of California from the Los Angeles area. I am currently working with middle school kids at a youth center just getting them to have fun. I will have some poems that will be coming up soon also and possibly writing a reflection on my quotes of the day that I am currently doing for the summer. Cant wait to get back to my Blog let this be my first one back in anticipation for what is next.

Peace,

CCY Always Jevon

For the past month I have had the amazing opportunity to continue to volunteer with at-risk youth and many do not have somebody to turn to. Volunteering with these kids has impacted my life tremendously as I have met so many youth who have left an impact on my life. Talking with them has taught me many things, one of them being: BE SOMEBODY.

BE SOMEBODY who cares.

BE SOMEBODY who listens.

BE SOMEBODY who does not judge.

BE SOMEBODY who is real with others.

BE SOMEBODY

Well first I would like to introduce myself since it is my first time blogging. My name is Esdras, I am 17, and am a Youth Board member/intern for the Los Angeles Youth Network. What i wanted to share with you all was L.A.Y.N.’s car wash to make funds for School On Wheels: an organization that provides educational assistance and support to the thousands of homeless children living in Southern California. We, the Youth Board, organized this event and are so excited to say we have raised 231 dollars for School On Wheels with this car wash and we have more coming in! Check out both L.A.Y.N. and  School On Wheels to find out more about what they do and how to help homeless youth through out So Cal.

Lets sit down with a pen in hand with a head full of thoughts that maybe you and me could probably understand-we understand it so much that sum times it hurts so much …shit so much that even at times u dont know what to do but be confused in all this human emotionality were in… Lets sit down with nothing but our minds to play with to tickle the tounge with words weve never dealt with… and Yes well pick off old residues slowly and more as we look into this seamless tug of war of just being who we are, -whether you think you know who you are or not …but yes the war of just being human…tears might come with all this shedding off layers of skin you hold…as we get to raw,cutting through words…please dont manipulate to get what you want-the mask
the mask in which you use to hide…but take it off when no else is around but yourself..yes lets take a deeper in depth look at the deffered dreams,a joy achieved, the hopeless days and the rightous fight to stay in top…
Lets sit down with a pen in hand that notthing else can come in our way of the freedom of emotions and restrictions of insecurities that comes with being human ….. please lets just write… first Blog in hopes to get to knowing you!!!
