Why w126jep? / ¿Por qué w126jep?

The name «w126jep» has a very simple explanation. It was my student ID in one of the universities I attended. «W» for the name of the university, «126» a random set of three numbers, «jep» are my initials. I've used it ever since.

Background / Historial

I was born in May of 1985. I have a B.A. in Psychology and am in the process of completing a Master's degree. I am Hispanic, born on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico and have lived in several different places in the U.S. I was raised in Hispanic churches but would often visit English speaking churches. Some of the states I've lived in include: Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee, and some others.

Pathfinders / Conquistadores

I have been in different Pathfinder clubs («Club de Conquistadores» in Spanish) since the 1990s. All the clubs I was a member of were Hispanic clubs residing in churches in the U.S. Our material and coursework was always completed in Spanish, although our drilling was done in English, so we could get used to hearing the command in English and be able to compete in drilling competitions.

I completed all the Pathfinder levels but did not do Master Guide since I went off to college and didn't make it a priority. I did complete complete the Master Guide level a few years ago, received the Pathfinder Leadership Award later on, and am now currently finishing the Pathfinder Instructor Award. I currently am used by my local conference to go to several Hispanic churches and give training seminars in Spanish, since there maybe two Spanish instructors with appropriate material in the entire conference.

I went to the international camporee at Oshkosh only once, in 1999 «Discover the Power» since I was in a club in Michigan at the time and it was close by.

My passion is working with Hispanic clubs within the Northamerican Division, since there is often not material or resources available in our native language. While the children have no problem reading, writing, and speaking in either language, the adults (who usually make up all of the staff) are not proficient in English and struggle to teach and work in English.
