Hola FCCLAers! Well, this week’s blog will give you the
inside scoop about myself and Share Our Strength (whoooop whooooop)!
I live in a small TEXAS town called Orange Grove which
consists of a Stripes, four-way stop and Dairy Queen. My family is extremely close
and anything but average. My parents, Maria and Catarino, are my heroes and two
of my best friends. I have two older brothers, Catarino-22 and Arnaldo-20, who
have molded me into the strong and outspoken person I am today. Together, we are
either the loudest table at the Chinese restaurant or the craziest group at the
beach, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Words cannot describe how blessed
I feel to be a part of such an amazing family.
A majority of my time is spent on FCCLA, other organizations,
and college. I believe there is so much to discover about the world, so endless
learning is very important to me. However, I am a natural born adrenaline
junkie. From skydiving and rock climbing
to jet skiing and tubing, I live for excitement! There is nothing I love more than
watching people laugh (although my mom’s Thanksgiving stuffing comes close)! Traveling
the world and helping others are my two most valuable life goals.
My passion for serving others has allowed me to work very
closely with FCCLA’s National Outreach Project. September is Hunger Action
Month, and as you may know, Share Our Strength is one of FCCLA’s national
outreach project partners. FCCLA is committed to helping solve the hunger
crisis in the United States. Last year, FCCLA raised over $40,000 to donate to
Share Our Strength. This year, we have set a goal of $150,000! With all of your
help, FCCLA can end childhood hunger by 2015!
I am excited to see what the year brings, and how big of an
impact FCCLA can make. Remember, it all starts with YOU!
In
FCCLA Spirit,
Magda Hernandez
