I got to spend Tuesday afternoon touring Fire Station #1 here in Corona. I met some nice firefighters and learned a lot about how they live and work. The full interview with Captain Jim Steiner will be available next week, but here are some photos light your imagination.
In February the PTA at my school invited a BMX stunt show to perform for us. The show by Creative Sports was spectacular. When our computer crashed we thought we lost the footage but we recently found it on a thumb drive.
This is part two with Ricky Moseley. I enjoyed his stunts and I really liked his answer to my question about what he liked best about performing at schools. He said he liked showing kids that they can make a living doing anything. That is awesome.
My favorite stunt was he jumped his bike over 6 people including four of our teachers!
Recently, I was sad to see that someone that used to go to my school decided to go through my You Tube channel and leave hurtful remarks, then do it again a few weeks later. It was kind of hard for me because I post everything publicly and not everybody is going to like what what I post or even be nice about it. I kind of have to take the bad with the good, but it got me to thinking.
At my school this last year, we went to several anti-bullying assemblies. Bullying is a super big deal and I have heard so many awful things in the news about bullying and cyber-bullying, so Mom and I did a little research. There are all kinds of stories out there about 5th and 6th graders, kids my age, doing unthinkable things because someone was picking on them.
Last summer I was lucky enough to interview Lt. Neil Reynolds from the Corona Police department. I sent him an email asking for his advice on who to talk to now about my concerns and he put me in touch with Officer Jeff Hedtke, Corona’s Gang Intervention Officer.
I got to speak with Officer Hedtke last week and it was a super interview. He really made everything understandable. He had great advice and he totally got that the hardest part about a kid being bullied is that we are kids and don’t always know how handle the situation.
I know this is the longest interview I have had but it so worth watching it to the end.
Thank you so much Officer Hedtke for talking with me and Thanks to the Corona PD for being there for the community.
