Hello everyone, just thought I should update the status of my life.
The last time I blogged was during the cross-country trip in 06'.
http://juscelinohong.blogs.friendster.com/my_blog/ I ended up pressing charges on numerous police officers in the Miami Beach Police department.
Things never got finilized because the Internal Affairs needed my sworn statement, but I wasn't able to make it to Miami in time whitin the set period of limitation.
Reguardless, that epic motorcycle trip completely changed my life.
After that trip, I decided that I would cold heartely devoted myself into seeking a profession that is solely based out of fun with a high return of satisfaction.
So, as soon as I got home from that trip, I started looking into professions such as Heli Skii Guide in BC, Snowboarding Instructor, Pilot, Motorcycle Mechanic, Skydiving Instructor, and so on... you get the picture.
After sending a whole bunch of applications, I ended up getting a job at Mountain Creek (
http://www.mountaincreek.com/index.htm) as a snowboard instructor for the 06'-07'season.
Even though that season sucked, it was by far the most fun I ever had working.
I even ended up getting my skillz up, and my AASI Level I snowboard instructor certificate.
The only down side to it was that I spent more money getting to work than getting paid.
I met a lot of cool people, and through them, I was able to get a job at Project U.S.E (projectuse.org) for the spring-fall seasons as a field instructor.
Project U.S.E is a non-profit org that deals with the judicated youths from inner cities in the tri-state (NY, NJ, CT).
My job was to take these judicated young adults on overnight expeditions out of state, and into a wilderness environment, to teach them survival, communication, and leadership skills in the hopes of providing them with a life altering experience.
It was an emotionally drainning job, but highly rewarding job at the same time.
Through working there I was able to humble myself and to let myself go and be a kid again.
And that was when I realized that the key to what I've been searching for all this time was for me to be a kid again.
To let myself go and think back to a time when my thoughts and convictions were at it's purest, untainted by money, greed or fear.
And now I was a kid again, and what I used to like and spend my time on, started to come back to me.
I realized that I was always taking toys apart and putting them back together.
And when I got a bit older I started getting into model toys that you had to build piece by piece.
Through these revelations, I decided that my calling is to be a Motorcycle Technician.
After some research I found a school called Wyotech in Daytona Beach FL that provides Ducati Technician Certificates.
It's the only school in the country that offers this program.
So I decided to enroll and I"m currently residing in Daytona Beach and attending school at Wyotech.
, I would love to see what the newspaper has to say. Thank you for sharing.
