Journal of today’s activities:

I spent seven hours today working on the PowerPoint presentation that will guide me through a seminar that I’m going to lead later this week. On Wednesday I’ll work with 50 representatives of the San Jose Mayor’s Gang Prevention Task Force. I led the first of four seminars in late March, so this will be my second eight-hour presentation on the Straight-A Guide. In this class, I’ll teach participants what I’ve learned about building a set of core values. I’m looking forward to working with the group of community leaders and sharing the lessons that empowered me through the challenges of confinement.
