"I am passionate about educational advocacy, philanthropy, creative non-fiction, and holistic healing."

By Ruzielle Ganuelas

I was born and raised in the Philippines and migrated to the US at the age of 17 after a year of college in an ivy league university. I received my Associate Degree from Seattle Central Community College with a Phi Theta Kappa Honor's Society distinction and was a Dean's List awardee. I was recently accepted to Washington State University for a Bachelor's of Arts in Humanities and English. I was also awarded the Allied Students Washington State University $2000 Scholarship for the 2012-2013 school year and the first annual recipient of the American Advertising Federation's Seattle Silver Medal Scholarship worth $2500. I work at PCC Natural Markets Issaquah as a Deli Lead and Sushi Chef.

I am passionate about educational advocacy, philanthropy, creative non-fiction, and holistic healing.

Recently I started volunteering and will soon intern for the Seattle Education Access Group which provides scholarships, academic advising and mentoring for low-income and disadvantaged college-age students.

my balance

My balance, or lack therof... How do I find balance in my life when it looks like there's none to be had. My internship ended on Friday without a fuss and I'm grateful (so grateful) for the experience and I'm happy too for the time that it unclogged for my work-school-social life schedule.

I'm taking four classes and really, it shouldn't be this difficult. But I'm running on fumes from the endless barrage of homework, reading, work and social commitments.

How do I find balance?
