my first year as a peer advisor was 3 summers ago in 2005 for summer bridge..i have been peer advising with maria martinez since that summer and now here we are..my 4th summer bridge..her 5th.
this muxer is nothing less than amazing and i love her so much. when people talk about folks in their lives that have really inspired them..i always think about maria martinez because she is the most selfless person that i have ever met..and not to mention her dedication to slas...the peer advising program..the students.
i am so blessed to be working for summer bridge again this summer even though i had to step back from the program..to handle business for my community..this last semester. i can't seem to let go of this experience..opportunity..chance to work with such amazing people.
this may be our last summer...maria and i....together as peer advisors for slas..for summer bridge..forever. that definitely makes me sad but i know that we will always have the last 4 summers filled with moments of joy, happiness, laughter, ups, downs, struggle, empowerment, crazy random drunken skits and whatever else we went through together...to remember why we keep comin back every summer. altho this may be the last time we can call ourselves peer advisors for summer bridge this is definitely not the last time i will be seein her around. you really can't keep yourself away from the people that you truly love and admire for too long..its just not healthy.
