SACtown

Last week, I was granted the opportunity to visit Sacramento, California... the capital of my lovely lovely state.  I went with my classmates in my health policy class.  Anyone who knows me, knows I absolutely hate hate hate politics.  Well, after my trip, I have to say that...... I still hate politics.  But, I no longer think every person in politics has a criminal and power-crazed mindset.  I met a few people who actually enjoy their job and are dedicated to using the power of government to assist people who cannot help themselves.

I'll leave you guys with some pictures I took (sorry, I didn't take much pics... my camera died!) and a video recording of Senator Kevin DeLeon.  I encourage everyone to watch.  It last less than one minute, but he has a very powerful message.  My whole class was so mesmerized by him.  I wish I recorded his whole speech.  Everyone is use to hearing from individuals who just did well and just got into the best schools and just somehow worked hard.  This guys story is complete opposite.  He did not have the best grades, but with determination and spirit, he managed to get into a school and work his way up from coming from parents who came into the country illegally to becoming Senator of California.

Anyways, enough of that... lol

I really enjoyed my trip.  I hope you guys enjoyed my pictures.  I am truly sorry for my hair mishap... I never know what to do with my hair when I have my weave out, but I refuse to perm... I love my soft, natural hair :-)

Have a good day you guys!!
