Aidalea Romero Local Conservation Corps Program Assistant II

First Job: Summer Youth

Birthplace: Fresno, CA

Years at EOC: almost 3 years

Best advice ever received: “Don’t worry about anything, and pray about everything.”

Favorite advice I give: “Live one day at a time.”

Favorite restaurant, dish, or pig-out food: anything CHOCOLATE and food that’s not good for you

Proudest moment: not one specific date, because there are too many to chose from, but one real recent moment was watching my children help others

Greatest personal accomplishment: understanding my self-satisfaction is not how much I have, but how I use it

Best vacation I’ve taken/dream vacation: Monterey, CA

Favorite weekend activity: cooking big meals for my family

Last good movie I saw: The Miracle Worker, story of Helen Keller

Scariest experience: Losing my child inside Wal-Mart and of course, after finding him scolding him so badly that I caused a scene and was worried all over again

If I had a million dollars I would … definitely buy my mom her dream home and invest into my children’s futures/education and even a good cause that is sincere in what they do

Favorite place to shop: Wal-Mart, of course, I can find what I need and then some

Favorite childhood memory: sitting in my backyard eating the fruit from our trees-carefree

Words that describe me best: Energetic, somewhat dramatic, but overall friendly

I like to watch: Grey’s Anatomy

In my spare time … I enjoy reading about everything under the sun, but spending time with my children doing whatever is good that day (movies, outdoor play, or home time) is my treasured time
