My Parents Have Relocated to San Diego to Seek Cancer Treatment for Mom
We are grateful that my Mom was able to spend another Easter with us. It should be noted that in December 2012, an MRI was done on Guam on my Mom to determine the cause of her recurring head pain. Unfortunately, nothing was found and a referral to San Diego, California was made. Upon arrival in San Diego and a review of the MRI CD, doctors in California informed my parents that an operation on my Mom's nasal area had to be done. An operation was made and she is now recuperating. However, because of the lack of nasopharengeal cancer specialists on Guam, my parents have relocated to California, so that my Mom could get the best health care possible. It is now imperative more than ever that we spend as much time as we can with her. We thank the Lord and the ongoing prayers from family and friends for giving us the strength to keep up the faith in our grave situation. God Bless.

Be Strong Families Training
The Strengthening Families Protective Factors Framework training held March 25-26, 2013 at the Sheraton Resort was meaningful, and will certainly impact the lives of the participants who were fortunate to attend the sessions. Our trainers, Kathryn "Kathy" Goetz Wolf and Dara, focused on Living the Protective Factors and Wake Up to Your Potential. The protective factors are inclusive of the following: parent resilience, knowledge of parenting and child development, social and emotional competence of children, social connections, and concrete support in times of need. The trainers emphasized positive "anabolic" energy versus the negative "catabolic" energy. It is important that we shift to the anabolic energy and surround ourselves with an "A Team", which is essentially an anabolic team, so that we can capitalize on positive energy to help ourselves and others. Moreover, we must strengthen ourselves with vitality, including a healthy diet, exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness. Not to mention, Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements were shared, which include the following: (1) Be impeccable with your word, (2) Don't take anything personally, (3) Don't make assumptions, and (4) Always do your best. These four agreements are inspirational, and I aim to do my best to follow them. May all of us be empowered to do the same. God Bless.

42nd Annual NABE Conference a Success!
The 42nd Annual National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE) Conference held in Orlando, Florida was meaningful! Dr. Jose Cruz, Ron Laguana, Jimmy Teria, and I had the honor of presenting our culturally-relevant papers at the conference hosted February 7-9, 2013 at the Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World. Professor Rosa Salas Palomo served as the Chair during our Asian Pacific Islanders Special Interest Group session with the help of Co-Chair Dr. Shu-yuan Lin. Although the Guam Delegation was a small group, they proudly represented the island amongst the others who presented. Their presentations focused on Using Differentiated Instruction to Build Schema of ELLs in Guam, The Magic of Sustained Micronesian Regional Cooperation and Collaboration on Languages and Cultures, and The Legacy of the Navajo Code Talkers in the War in the Pacific (1942-1945). Other highlights of the conference included the following: Global Perspectives on Bilingual Education: Implications for the U.S., Achieving Academic Control of Two Languages: Insights from the Past and Present in Looking Forward, Puente de Hozho Bilingual School: A Bridge to Beauty, Intergenerational Trauma, Language Revitalization and Indigenous Knowledge: How Are All Of These Related?, Bridging Indigenous "Ways of Knowing" into Classroom Science: The Loloma Project, and Best Practices Interdisciplinary Vocabulary Development Using the Rule of 3.
