Midterms

Well I just finished with midterms, I think I did well on the test =D
I expect myself to get a B, thats all I ask for. I find it easy to try my best at anything, but expect myself to get lower than I think so if i get more than what I shot for I am happy. What I don't want is to tell myself i'm going to get an A then get a B and then get mad about it. Its like reverse Phycology is you think about it =D

I haven't posted anything recently mainly because last week I drove my Girlfriend up to her hometown in Washington so she could go to a Job interview. After her Interview (at Buckle) she took me to this amazing Italian place Called "Paolos"

(For reviews please go Click on this link:)

Im no food critic but this is One of the most amazing Italian place I have ate at, Makes my tummy happy in many ways! I'm Guessing its probably one of the closest things to AUTHENTIC italian food! With a little flare as well!

.... Back to my Car, Which is a 2000 VW JETTA VR6, It started leaking coolant like crazy! I looked under my car and I could totally tell a hose busted. I love cars, I love working on cars. I can say i'm pretty good at fixing them. The problem was I was in Washington and didn't have no tools what so ever. I ended up Getting it towed to Firestone (http://www.firestonecompleteautocare.com/) I have to say they are pretty expensive, they charge $100 per hour. Which as a college student seems just about crazy to anyone. My hometown dealer is $80 an hour and I still think thats expensive ha. They said the part would take a week to get there. I bought tickets from Amtrak to Portland from Tacoma. My Girlfriend and I took the train back to portland. I love the train they are so fun!! oh... yeah when we were stuck in Washington I got to spend a ton of time with my Girlfriends family. She picked out a couple recipies and we cooked, it was Yummy! ... almost like Paolo's haha =D

we got back to portland and it was a Spectacular day! It was sunny and Guess what?? The Blazer game was going on!!!
Kyle (my roomate) and I went to the game, we bought tickets earlier for around $75
I was rocking Brandon Roys Jersey! #7

He is like my hero! Almost at least... on the court. Blazers ended up making a Historic comeback! they were down 23 points and I was already giving up on my own team. They came back in the 4th quarter the crowd was wild!!! it was a great day that day.

Midterms came around and stress was at a high point and I can say i'm still stressed too. My girlfriend has a tough schedule and has way more midterms than me. I guess it hasn't been the best for us because of studying and all. I guess when she is stressed it impacts me a lot, even if I was having awesome days, seeing her stress isn't my favorite thing to see. She's a great girl, glad to be with her =D She is super duper awesome and has an amazing personality haha =D She loves zombies! I love them too ha. It just sucks that she has been stressing because its not the same as when she's not, but isn't That with Everyone? WEll I hope she does great on her Midterms, I know she will =D

Today i'm going back to washington on the TRAIN!! yeah I know awesome!!
Hopefully my car is fixed, ill be spending most of my time with my Girlfriends little brother, he is pretty awesome too! Just an awesome family I guess. Her mom is picking me up, and i'm going to thank her so much. Moms in general are the closest things to Super heros!

Well till the next time.. =D

Outcome to 4-H Tranning

This is A picture I took at The training. All these students that went were in High school, at least the ones that are going to be trained. There is two Summer Camps in the summer.



Middle school

There is also Elementary Summer camps available.
Students at these camps do recreational activities, here shown campers are canoeing.
Campers do archery, swimming, tree swings, volleyball, and soccer for recreational activities.

These camps aren't just fun and games, the main reason campers come is to make themselves a better person. To strengthen there minds and body to make the best even better.

Here campers are learning about Robotics.
Campers learn about opportunities as a minority, they learn engineering, forestry, and law. There is many motivational speeches about life, privileges, who are you?.

At this training I gave a speech and I was asked Two questions.
1) How did you make it to where you are now?
2) How do you pay for College?

(Answer #1)
I got off my ass and took action. Where I am now is something I had to work for, it was not placed in my hands. If you want something in life you have to get up and run for it till you catch it. I was a bad kid with low grades in middle school, I loved to fight, and I loved to steal. It wasn't until high school I changed the way I saw myself. I started doing community service, that I enjoy doing. 4-H has helped me find myself in life. 4-H showed me a better path in life, showed me that anything can be accomplished. If you want something in life, again you have to work for it... you cant just be lazy, be on Facebook, party and do drugs, it does not work like that. I had no life really in high school, I wasn't much of a party guy. I gave up my so called "fun" high school life. Look at me Now, i'm in college.

(Answer #2)

I am A GMS Recipient, they pay for all my expenses for my undergrad and Graduate Tuition.
I was not handed this Scholarship, I worked hard to attain it. I get paid $6,000 a year to go to school and get good grades, that money they give me is not money for tuition this is money I get for my own.
Over 1000 hours of community service in high school, overcoming a language barrier. Family obstacles as well as stereotypes I had to face, and the racism.
Take some time to read see this video that is so close to the way I feel about my life.

High Voltage Krew Biography (by Isaac Camacho)

High Voltage Krew Bio

In December of 2008 Isaac Camacho (a.k.a. Icy) started dancing this so called “Electro Dance” In his hometown of Corvallis Oregon. Three months later Icy came across Dance Generation (Dance Generation is basically a huge group of dancers, each country has their own D*G.). Dance Generation was accepting dancers from all across United States. It happened to be that Icy was the Sixth Person who joined Dance Generation U.S.A. On that same third month Icy made Dance Generation U.S.A. Icy was a one of the only Electro dancers in the U.S.A. Electro Dance needed to become bigger, People needed to spread the word. Icy was in search of unique dancers at his own High school (Corvallis High School Home Of The Spartans). Nobody knew about Electro Dance anywhere at the school. He then remembered his friend Gustavo Rivas-Ruiz (a.k.a. KiD Woody).  KiD Woody was a Popper, as Icy thought that Popping had lots to do with Arms that perhaps KiD Woody would make Dance Electro a part of his style. Icy and KiD Woody constantly would talk about making a Dance Crew. We thought of names day after day. Until one day High Voltage Crew Popped in our inventory and sounded amazing as it came out of our tongues. After a year in Icy’s search of new Electro Dancers, High Voltage Crew was born on January 1^st, 2010.

 (Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95ZmnGnqL5Y)

Icy then got a message from another High Voltage Crew across seas in Italy that danced Electro, We then thought if we changed the C for a K and it would be more Americanized style of Crew (krew) HVK was born (High Voltage Krew with a K!!!!).

Icy and KiD Woody danced for a while until we found another girl Nancy Contreras-Colin (a.k.a. Nan-C) to join our Group; She joined High Voltage Krew On September of 2010. After high school graduation the group was going to be split up, Icy was going to attend Portland State University, KiD Woody was going to attend Portland State Community College, Nan-C was going to attend Linn Benton Community College. At his dorms at PSU Icy met a dancer who he so lived by. Keaton Boileau Was a hip-hop master with the skill and precision, we soon snatched him up to join High Voltage Krew in November of 2010. It was to Icy’s knowledge that Fashion Electro was no longer a Team in Switzerland, that’s when the Krew made a plan to take one of their dancers, Tenzin Samkhar (a.k.a. Spiicy). The krew met and practiced at PSU dorms and then we asked if he wanted to join, He replied yes. Now High Voltage Krew is dancing at events and making top videos of Dance Generation USA, Soon they will travel to California and compete in tournaments as well as next year possibly attending 2012 Electro Monde Championship. High Voltage Krew has Over 60,000 Views on YouTube.

If anybody would like to Sponsor this Krew, it’s a good investment =D

 -Sincerely High Voltage Krew
