Future Takeaways

The Boardroom taught me how to write business plans and correspondence in both English and Spanish, to teach younger students, and to be a community organizer.  It has also taught me what connection means.  Real connection means inviting someone in, sharing cultures, helping each other.  Real connection is necessary to build a community.  Soon, another 12 year old will move here from Florida. He will notice a beautiful ocean, perfect waves, and people surfing. I hope he will also see a new community built around the waves, one that includes faces of local surfers of all ages and skill levels. I hope he will notice the beach is full, connected.
