I helped out an old friend with some of his 6th graders from San Diego. I was a tour guide showing off my alma mater Santa Clara University. I managed to take a quick snapshot of this ridiculously beautiful flower. before the tour. This flower's colors just caught my eye, so I took the shot, before project 365, I would have looked like a dork taking a random picture of a flower, but after project 365, I now have an excuse to say it is for a project. Hahaha

Anyways, my friend really appreciated when I came and helped him. His kids are from a charter school in downtown San Diego. The kids come from "not so many given positive opportunity" (my alternative definition of disadvantage, underprivileged, or "at-risk") neighborhoods in San Diego. They look like good kids, one kid asked if they play soccer here, I told them SCU is really good at soccer (futbol), and one kid was like I want to play professional soccer when I grow up. I was like maybe you can get a scholarship here. Anyways, I hope these all make it to college. I hope they come away with a feeling that they can go anywhere and succeed. Good times! Go broncos! The school's not that bad, considering the most popular alumni is a white basketball player from Canada named Steve Nash.
