Cycling Sunglasses FAQ Archives

Hello,

My name is Laura Arciniega, I have four beautiful children ages 14, 9, 7 and 5. I grew up in East Palo Alto, CA and I am the sixth of nine children.

Growing up in East Palo Alto, I made some bad choices. I made choices that, in my mind, were going to benefit me and only me, not knowing how it affected others, especially my kids. I was involved in gangs, drugs and all of the things that come with growing up in a home where both parents worked all day to provide for their children and I had all the time I needed to destroy my life. I didn't have the support and knowledge that I have now.

Klemmer & Associates (http://klemmer.com/index.asp) has helped me see inside of myself and really see how valueable, beautiful and powerful I am. Today, I am proud to say I am an accepting, passionate and committed women who's desire is to help "At Risk Teens", like myself, make better choices for themselves. Help me "Empower OUR youth TODAY for a better Future Tomorrow".

My comittment to our community is to enroll more parents, teens and members of the community to empower each other so that together we start a NEW track of decisions that will benefit everyone.

Every change starts with ourselves and today I am choosing to empower my teen to make more effective decisions that will move her forward. I am reaching out to you asking for financial support to send my 14 year old daughter, Laura Verenise Soto, to Teen Camp.

Teen Camp is a five day course specifically designed for empowering teens and helping them develop tools to create an exciting future. Exercises in this course are tailored to speak to the hearts and minds of young adults. Teens receives the knowledge from two adult courses in one fun-filled week with other teens preparing for their future.

At Teen Camp, teens will discover the value of working as a team with their peers. They will learn to trust others and develop trust-worthiness in themselves. Teens will learn how resistance (to their parents, teachers, responsibilities, etc) affects a cycle of resentment in their lives. They will also have experiences that will allow them to reconcile painful experiences that have been holding them back. As in all levels of training, teens will learn about the power of belief systems, known as sunglasses, and learn to recognize and remove the belief systems that are preventing them from the life and future they want.

The mission for teens in Camp is:

To transform each teens' experience of themselves so that they feel more personal responsibility and self-esteem in their lives.
To assist teens in creating a foundation of principles and values that serve them in being more effective individuals and society members.
To allow a place of trust and safety where teens can talk about what is important to them and identify past hurts and resentments.
To give teens tools and techniques that will assist them in clearer communication as well as give them ways to set and accomplish personal goals.
To create an atmosphere where teens can make friends and enjoy open and honest relationships with each other.

Tuition for the camp is $2,095 US and I have raised $1,063 already, I have until July 10th to pay it in full. Any help that you can give me is greatly appreciated. If you are open, willing and able to help, please contact me via email for information on how you can do so.

Vere (my daughter), will be writing a letter upon her return to share her experience at Teen Camp and I will send you a copy of the letter.

In advance thank you for your support and encouragement.

Laura

I was just thinking about how all of this economic turmoil was caused. Think about it- people took out bad loans from greedy corporations in order to greedily buy gigantic houses that they could not afford. Either that or they refinanced houses and took out equity to buy things they really didn't need. Everyone thought they deserved the best of all things material, and when it came time to pay the piper, they couldn't do it...People's mortgage prices went way up because of the bad loans, so consumer spending went way down as people scrimped to save their houses, and the economy is now in ruins! If you read about the conditions in the 1920's that led to the great depression, you'll see the same trend. Greed and covetousness, only during that time the focus was on making "easy money" on the stock market, whereas this crisis was fueled through the real estate bubble. My question is, when the economy gets better, will people just go back to thinking they need and deserve every luxury and start a new cycle that will eventually lead to another recession? I mean really, when you see things like women prancing around with $500 Coach purses and Gucci sunglasses when there are children starving in this world, don't you think our troubles could be a whole lot of well-deserved bad karma? When will people learn and how can we change our cultural values to focus more on the value of people than things?
Chris- I am not an expert, but I do have a BA in Social Science, which required me to take many classes in economics. How many have YOU taken that you understand the economy so well?

Is anyone else reading Brisingr?

Is this the next Harry Potter? In that I mean are Christians going to start making Comic Books --that they will put inside Bibles, I own a bible with a Harry Potter comic-- that will show how "evil" it is?

Have any of you ever read the Harry Polarity comic?
What was your favorite part? Mine is a tie between when the Wizard school, PigPimples, turned out to be full of demons that none of the students could see because they were wearing magic sunglasses, and when Ari, the young boy wizard, defeated the big bad demon by praying to God...

Hmm... yeah...
So back to Brisingr :) It's a great book, and part 3 of a wonderful series... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inheritance_Cycle
Death:

Yes, as the others have said it's Fire :)

I love books that last me a long time, unfortunately I am reading it to fast :( in one day I finished over 230 pages, and there are only 748 pages in Brisingr... so I had to stop reading for fear of ending the book before I find another to take it's place (I have already exhausted my personal Library)
GenericJack:

see above^ lol
It's turning out to be a VERY good book :)
