He was a special talent to watch in practice & a joy to watch during the games. At one point in time he was ranked number 1 in the north, as a punt returner, and a kick returner. He played under coach Rasmussen while the equipment manager Rene was around ask about his 4.3- 4.4 speed. Everybody wanted him to go to USC cause he ran like Reggie Bush. I was told he got accepted to the University Of Edward Waters, in Jacksonville Florida purple city aka Ricky Waters camp. Onlookers also mentioned he received prospect letters from the (W) Wyoming University cowboys D1 & Iowa State University the cyclones D1. Loved seeing this young man do what he does shout out to the whole MPC wolf pack!

Outstanding junior community college, I highly recommend for getting basic required courses…read morecompleted in relatively small class sizes, for cheap to no cost. They even have high school programs to earn college credits. I took extra night summer classes to complete my bachelors degree, decades ago. I took real estate classes on line and on campus to get my real estate license. Trade school classes are excellent for police, fire, nursing, medical/dental assistance, mechanics, etcetera. Many seniors take cooking, gardening, photography, exercise, art, dance, theater and other programs. Fabulous to stay active and exercise/move! Public schools are so affordable, compared to say, Williams at $70,000 plus per year! Really, if you have a child interested in higher education: perhaps they should aim for a 4.0 grade point average at a junior college, then get a scholarship at a state university for the last two years. I moved to California, after graduating one year early (at 17) with honors, from a public high school. Went to UCLA, at 17 with the hill side strangler roaming the neighborhood. Classes were 500 plus students in auditorium halls, for the basic mandatory courses. Ridiculous!!! Interesting adventure for a country girl from Massachusetts, but I do not recommend. I finally graduated UCSC, correct a banana slug: after Wheaton College, a year in Osaka Japan and other experiences. However, I always treasured the value of the community colleges, I attended. Cabrillo and MPC primarily, but the state law school I graduated from, was also excellent and cost effective (MCL). Enjoy your life and aim for less debt.

I've always wanted to be a writer. Well, maybe not in my college days way back when, but after…read morestruggling with being an introverted real estate agent, I began to think about what I would want to be doing if I quit home sales. I had already been writing a blog and keeping it fairly updated but lacked the self-discipline and follow-through necessary to get and keep readers with consistently providing content. My intentions with writing were good but my focus was not. There were so many days I'd sit in the chair, prepared to write for an hour or two but then suddenly I had far more interesting things to do like laundry, dishes, vacuuming, and cleaning out the garage. I couldn't seem to commit to sitting down and getting the job done. And then I met Milli. I don't know what kind of magic she worked on me, but the suddenly ADD/Can't finish anything me was writing (can I get a drum roll, please?) over 1,000 words each and every day. One Sunday, it was 3,000 words! Why? Because I had someone to hold me accountable. Milli makes sure you follow-through on your goals. She's firm but kind and for some reason, her magic, I mean, methods work. I highly recommend Milli if your goal is to finally write that book you've been putting off, consistently writing for your blog, or any other goal you have with writing or publication. I am 15,000 words into a story I came up with in January but didn't sit down and write until September when I hired Milli to help me stay consistent. Milli is very friendly, approachable, and spent a long time on the phone with me asking me about my goals. There were never any wrong answers and her feedback helped me reframe a struggle I was having with something someone said that gored me to the core. With her reframing of the situation, I was able to create a funny picture in my head that healed me and helped me move on. Milli's feedback is second to none. I think it takes her longer to write the feedback than it does to add more to my story. It is thoughtful, kind, and goes deep. Be prepared to settle in with a cup of something warm and bask in all the glory Milli sends your way. Keeping my promise to myself that I will write a book is a great gift, and Milli is hugely important to making it happen. Thank you for all you have done and given me, Milli!!

Dear Yelp readers,…read more If you're looking for higher conciousness information regarding parenting or relationships, you're in the right place. I came to Dr Arayeh struggling with parenting one 6 year old son, and a poor relationship with his father. Needs were unmet, proper communication was lacking and we were all in a regular cycle of abusive words and thoughts. Throughout 6 sessions of 1 hour, valuable information regarding the fight flight brain, childrens needs, concious communication, mindful breathing, Pause method and stages of change, were shared via the phone videos and texts. All very important information to help love and nurture children (all humans really) and helped my sons dad and I see and tend to our child in more supportive ways. I'd absolutely reccomend taking sessions to improve parenting/relationships, I tell my friends and family how valuable Dr Arayehs info is and encourage them to invest in themselves. Money and time well spent. Thank you Dr Arayeh, we're all nicer and more loved than before. and when I inevitably go back to my unconscious ways sometimes, I dont stay near as long.
