Environmental Leadership Program
As I was looking to grow my skills. I came across the Environmental Leadership Program called Aves Compartidas. Little did I know it was going to be similar to the journey of a bird while migrating. I faced predators which in my case were obstacles but I flew with people who made the trip that much more enjoyable! We got to sing our way through the challenges and had a great time! I got to learn from twenty-five 5th graders at River Road Elementary. Overall, I say our trip was definitely one for the birds!
The Peacemaker
My Name Irene originates from the greek goddess Eirene which means peace. Coincidentally, my middle name also means peace (Janette). As I have gotten older, I realized that I like to bring peace to life. Growing up I have always been told to be the change I want to see in the world and I have done exactly that. I have been training myself to live in the moment. As Anthony Basich once said "The past is history, tomorrow's a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why we call it the present." Which leads me to say what better way to live the present than at peace?
