Adelita Padilla (Adele)
Employment & Training-Workforce Connection
Program Assistant III


First Job: H & R Block-- Receptionist

Birthplace: Fresno, CA.

Years at FCEOC: 8 yrs.

Best advice ever received: “Live in the moment!” “Just let it go!—don’t hold on to grudges.”

Favorite advice I give: “What goes around comes around”. Whether you are doing a good deed or bad, eventually it will be returned to you.

Favorite restaurant, dish, or pig-out food: Edo-ya, my Aunt’s enchiladas, and McDonald’s fries

Proudest moment: Graduating from college

Greatest personal accomplishment: My mother’s kidneys were failing and I was able to donate one of mine. She truly enjoys her life and that is greatest “thank you” I could ask for.

Best vacation I’ve taken/dream vacation: A family vacation to Hawaii. My dream vacation is to go to an all-inclusive resort on a beach and have margaritas served to me all day!

Favorite weekend activity: Hanging out with my family and/or friends

Last good movie I saw: Hairspray

Scariest experience: A car accident in 1987 with my parents and my aunt. We were traveling to Texas and just made it to Bakersfield. A tire from the overpass hit our car and nearly missed my aunt and mother. We were scared but no major injuries.

If I had a million dollars I would… Pay off my debts, buy my parents and myself new cars and take my family on a much needed vacation!

Favorite place to shop: TARGET!

Favorite childhood memory: While living in Maryland we would often go to Washington D.C,--I loved being in the city. We had an opportunity to go to the White House and participate for their annual Easter Egg Hunt. That is one experience I will never forget.

Words that describe me best: Honest, dedicated, trustworthy and silly

I like to watch: I’m a TV junkie, you name it, I’ve probably watched it.

In my spare time… go to the movies, hang out with my boyfriend and his daughter, have a “girls night” with my friends, hang out with my family and friends

If I’ve learned one thing in life, it is … I’m still learning! I am constantly learning from my family, friends and co-workers. Through their experience and wisdom I have learned so much and continue to do so.
