If wishes had wings we’d all make it to heaven and we’d all be kings.

Sometimes we forget that we have our own path to take, instead we just follow the path of others just to assure that we wont do anything wrong.

We forget that we are all special in out own ways. Some forget that, and try to mimic the talents of others when there are your own hidden talents inside.

My Names is Fabian Pugal. I am from Torrez Martinez Desert Cahuilla Reservation. I am 16-­‐year-­‐old junior at Indio High School. I have 3 younger brothers and 1 younger sister. My dream is to become a mechanical engineer and an artist. I love cars and it would be dreams if I were to ever own a Nissan 350z. I would love to be very successful and just know that I have lived my life to the fullest. My favorite drink is orange juice. I love ice cream. I also like meeting new people. I love to smile all the time. I am thankful for everyday because its beautiful just like each and every person.

I love my art so much. I do understand that there are people that are way much better than me. I know that if you practice you will get better and I think personally these past years I have been getting better. One day I want to have art in the muesums. I do art because it relaxs me and it just amazes me sometimes like all this can come from the head and put it on paper. I belive that the imagination is the key to loving life and being yourself.

I love to play sports, meet new people, and I love to make art. I am Cahuilla Indian. One of my great ancestors was called "FigTree John" because he was known for planting the first fig tree in the Coachella Valley. He was my grandma’s great great great grandpa. His real name was John Razon. He was from the Torrez Martinez Indian Reservation. My autonym is Mau-Wal-Mah Su-Kutt Menyil,which is said to mean "among the palms, deer moon.

We also learned how the people at Disney need to know how the body structure works to draw their characters.

THE REASON I CAME HERE BECAUSE I LOVE THE PROGRAM. I WAS HERE LAST YEAR AND IT JUST OPENED SO MANY DOORS. I RELIZE THAT COLLEGE IS THE WAY TO GO. THERE IS JUST SO MUCH TO DO OUT THERE COLLEGE IS THE BEST WAY TO DO THEM. THIS PROGRAM NOT ONLY SHOWED ME ABOUT EDUCATIONAL THINGS BUT ALSO CULTURAL IDEAS TOO. I THINK BEING HERE IN THE PIPELINE MY ATTITUDE AND OVERALL BEING AS A PERSON HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY. I REALLY HOPE TO LKEEP MY HEAD STRAIGHT AND GET GOOD GRADES IN SCHOOL. I HOPE TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR AND MAKE MORE CONNECTIONS. THE PEOPLE I ALSO MET ARE AMAZING, THEY ALL HAVE THERE OWN TALENTS AND EVERYDAY JUST GOT BETTER AND BETTER. THE THINGS THAT MOST IMPACTED ME IN THIS PROGRAM WAS MORNING CEREMONIES IT ALWAYS PUTS YOU IN A GOOD MOOD. THE MOVIES WE WATCHED TAUGHT ME SO MUCH THAT I DIDN’T KNOW BEFORE. I REALLY LIKED ADEALINA THE ELDER BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY TAUGHT ME THAT YOU CAN GO THROUGH SO MUCH BUT IF YOU HAVE FAITH YOU WILL MAKE IT OUT. THE CREATOR WILL PROTECT YOU AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CANT DO. YOU MUST FIRST TRY BEFORE YOU GIVE UP. I UNDERSTAND MOST OF US TAKE OUR LIFE FOR GRANITE. I REALLY AM GOING TO LOOK AT LIFE ON A WHOLE OTHER PERSPECTIVE. THE THING I DISLIKED ABOUT THE PROGAM WAS THAT IS WAS SHORT AND THE AIR CONDITIONER DID NOT WORK IN MY ROOM SO IT WAS ALWAYS HOT. OVERALL I AM VERY THANKFUL FOR THE PEOPLE THAT GOT ME HERE AND MADE ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN FOR ME. I CAME TO LEARN AND I THIK IM GOING TO LEAVE WITH MORE THAN THAT. I WILL MAKE IT COLLEGE AND I WILL BE A MECHANICAL ENGINEER AND AN ARTIST. IM GOING TO PLAY SPORTS AND JUST BE HAPPY.
