As we dive into a new year and welcome 2025, I would like to reflect on the 2024 year. The past year has been adventurous, miraculous, and very inspiring to me. I am amazed and impressed with all I have been through and I am excited to see what the coming year will have in store for me.
To start of, I would like to thank my incredible family for standing by my side as we went through all sorts of moments and experiences. I am especially grateful to my mom who has sacrificed so much for me and was willing to allow me to experience so much that someone else would not have been able to be involved with.
Next, I would like to extend my dearest and sincere appreciation and love for the SCV. The Santa Clarita community has really stood out to me and gave me miraculous moments and new experiences. I consider the area to be my magical miracle because prior to getting involved, I didn’t have that many adventures and opportunities. From getting to meet the city council and engaging enthusiastically with the city staff, it has been really fun and I got to build new friendships along the way. I am very excited to see what Santa Clarita has in store for me this year!
I would like to thank Andy Pisciotti of CenterPoint Church Murrieta for blessing me with a service hosting opportunity. Being involved with this church as been out of this world and getting to virtually connect with Isaiah and the CPYA group has been super fun. My favorite moment was when my mom drove me down to Murrieta and I got to spend a Sunday with the group. It was really cool to be able to hang out with the folks I have been virtually connecting with over the months. Andy giving me the opportunity to be one of the hosts for the 11AM Sunday service has been a really productive experience for me. Being able to engage with the online attendees, assist with prayer requests, and being involved with the online church community has been a very inspiring and motivating journey for me. I am proud of myself for having been given this responsibility.
Coming up, I would like to give an honorable mention to Liquid Church, a church in Parsippany, New Jersey. This church opened my eyes to a new world and gave me an opportunity to experience and view God from a new perspective. Meeting Pastor Cuyler and Pastor Kayra has been a delightful experience. My favorite part of being a part of this church is getting to hang out with Brian Kern and the college/young adults virtually every Thursday night. Since New Jersey is on the East Coast, I am 3 hours behind their meeting time. The way they named the group, The Porch New Jersey, is very creative and attractive. I am a little disappointed in not being able to join their Sunday services live since they have them at 9AM or 11AM, which would be 6AM and 11AM for me in California. I hope we get to meet one day in the future.
Last but not least, I would like to thank all the casting directors of casting companies who have selected to book me for roles in various commercials. Although these are all background roles, I am still very touched and proud of myself for being able to be included in these productions. Out of all the commercials I have been involved with last year, my favorite one is getting to spend an entire day at Universal Studios. I have never been to this family attraction throughout my entire life and I felt it really cool to be able to walk around and experience the creativity and attraction of this theme park. I am also proud of myself for being booked as a background for my first ever SAG-Aftra commercial.
Thank you everyone for a fantastic and memorable year. We have been through so much together and I am beyond excited to see what the new year will being us all.
Happy New Year 2025!!!
