Tomorrow is Cesar Chavez Day and I am very excited to commemorate a Latino leader of social equality. I did a profile on Cesar Chavez earlier this year and I got to know more of what a great person he was and how inspiring he continues to be for younger generations.

I decided to take the trip to take some time off from the same routine I go through during my usual weeks. School, work, school, work, homework, school, we all know the routine that our lives can bring us into and one day you just get tired of it. During my beach time, I thought a lot about how beautiful our oceans, animals, and how lucky we are…
